Tire Pressure Sensors
I have a '99 Coupe with the TPMS. This has worked very well, until recently. The left rear gives me an XXX reading. I realize the sensor is bad and needs to be replaced.
Question: Should I swap out all 4 sensors, or just the one that is bad ?
Thanks in advance.

I would try re-learning them first, but more than likely it went bad. Series I TPSs last about 7 years or 100,000 miles.
I replaced mine all at once when I changed to new wheels and tires. Frictner's Chevy (a Forum Vendor) has them for about $80 each.

I agree,,,try to get the one non working one revived. If you need to change just one, and your tires are almost ready for some new ones, order four sensors and install then with the new tires.
If the tires are fine, installing one sensor now may be the answer. You may end up changing one at a time but you will at least have a whole set on hand ready.
If you need a good price on four new sensors, call Gene Culley gmpartshouse.com He has excellent prices.
