Tire pressure message stays on
Can someone help me out here? I have a 98 C5. Last night I got on it hard from a dead stop. When I let off and begin crusing the check tire pressure gage came on. I check the pressure and they are all ok. The message remains. I can hit the reset button several times and the message dissappears and the normal function returns. When i shut the car off and restart, the check tire pressure-service soon comes on again. Thanks for any help. Mike

Do you know how long the sensors (in each wheel) have been in the car? From what I've learned - those sensors don't last forever.
Perhaps you have a faulty sensor?
I'm not familiar with the sensors myself - but there's gotta be a way to check each one individually to see which one is not functioning properly (if that were the case).

Strange symptoms. Normally if one sensor goes out you'd get XXX on that corner. Unusual for all four to quit at the same time. The sensors transmit to a receiver which is shared with the key fob transmitters. Are they still working. If not it could be a receiver snag.
All that said, with 90k it could be the batteries as their life is about 5-7 years. Just unusual.
BTW, fill out your profile. That way members can give you advice specific to your car.
