Programing Tire Sensors????
I just had Goodyear put in some new tire sensors. They got to the stage where it said Tire training but would go no farther. It wouldn't go to Learn front left etc. They couldn't use the meter or whatever it is to program the sensors so the service notice is still blinking. Anyone have an opinion as to why they couldn't get the job done? Mike

Not a strong eneough magnet and/or they werent using a magnet at all because like the guy said above they are idiots. Plus if they didnt know what they were doing they could have broke the sensor upon installing the tires, its not hard to do.

Do it yourself
Go here for instructions on how to train the TPMS.
You can do it yourself if you have a strong magnet .... many people use a loudspeaker magnet .....

Does your key fob work? It uses the same receiver as the TPM’s. The correct TPM’s installed? There are 1997- 2000 sensors and 2001 – 2004 sensors. The special meter is nothing more than a contoured magnet. Most any magnet will work, I use a toolbox magnet on a stick type. It’s not the size of the magnet but how you use it. :o

OK, 1st ... YOU try and get it in training mode ... just 'cause the Goodyear guy says it won't go there ... doesn't mean it won't.
2nd If it won't go into training mode .... check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes .... go here for instructions to display them ....
https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...D=26&TopicID=1
Write down the codes .... and then post in this thread .... be sure to post the ENTIRE code ... such as U1099H or C1234C
Pay particular attention for codes from the RFA module.

OK .... now that it says "Train LF tire" take a LARGE magnet and hold it over/at the air valve on the front left tire..... after a few seconds the horn should honk and the DIC display will tell you which tire to go to next .....

Those are the right ones .. see ... your profile says you have a 98 ... pretty cool ... huh ... ???
If you don't have a magnet to train the tires ... try training the key fobs ... instructions are in your owner's manual ... If you don't have a manual I can point you to a PDF version that you can look at and even print if you need to.

I love the car, just hope things like this don't keep happening. I am going to Phoenix Thursday for a week then to Vegas for a week. Probably get to it when I get back. I appreciate all the help from everyone. Mike
