I have a 1999 Corvette with a right front tire pressure sensor that's out of range. The message comes up on the DIC that the right front tire is flat, But when checked it right where it should be. I have a friend that knows how to reset the sensor. But I would like to have the sequence to keep with my info. Can anyone help me on this?

I used this message forwarded from a fellow forum memeber and it worked just as described. Thought I would post for anyone else that may need to reset their TPMs. 1) Turn ignition on 2) Press "Reset" button in order to clear any IPC display warning messages 3) Press and release the "Options" button on the DIC to scroll through the display options until the IPC display is blank 4) Press and hold the DIC "Reset" button for 3 seconds 5) Press the "Options" button again until TIRE TRAINING message appears 6) Press "Reset" button until the IPC "Learn L Front Tire" message appears in order to begin the programming 7) Install the J41760 Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) System Programming Tool (large magnet will do) over the left front valve stem 8) The horn will sound, indicating the left front TPM sensor is programmed (if this takes more than 15 seconds, pull magnet back and try again, it will give you three tries. Then you must start over) 9) When the horn sounds, proceed to program the next TPM sensor in the following order as directed by the IPC messages: -Learn R Front Tire -Learn R Rear Tire -Learn L Rear Tire Programming can be canceled by turning ignition off, waiting 2 minutes with no sensors being learned, finishing all 4 wheels or through the DIC. If the programming is canceled with less than 4 sensors learned, it will only accept the codes programmed up to that point.

 

If after following the above procedure from rws.1, if you still have a problem with the one sensor, its dying. Replace it.

 

 

Your car is seeing the sensor so resetting it wont help.Prob your sensor battery is dead and you need to replace the sensor.The others prob wont be far behaind.

 

with all above. When you check the tire pressure on the DIC does that position show any pressure or does it show xxxx. When the battery starts to die it in most cases will start to show xxxx for the position that is going bad.

 

Does anyone knows, how to shut off the Message in the Dic (Check the tire pressure sensor), if no sensores are installed?
So I have allways press the reset switch after starting.

 

how much to replace one sensor? what's OE number?
