Yes I can read the pressure for each tire. I am going to send me fob off to have it resoldered, but I am looking for a good used one to have as a spare if you know of anyone with one for sale. Thanks for all your help

Default Same problems.....

So i reprogrammed the fob and after holding down the buttons for several seconds the computer never said that the fob was never synced. I then tried the fob inside the car and it worked. I turn the key off and get out of the car and it works for about 30sec then the next time you come up to the car it doesn't work. Has anyone ever had this problem or know the answer to the problem. This is a 99 FRC and the TPMS system is working fine. I only have one fob so I can't try the other one. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Hi....I have a 99 FRC. FOB quit working last week, spare one had quit last year.
So I figured it was the FOB finally had "bit the bullet" Ordered new one from the stealership (GM dealer cost) and did all the synchro stuff today when it arrived.
STILL have the same problem!! Won't work on passive. TPS is working fine...

You say it won't work on passive. Will it work manually?
