Tire sensors problem-----> help
I traded an 04 for another 04 and I kept my wheels and tires .. In this new 04 , I get the code tire sensor needs servicing . I didn't have this problem in my old 04 . What can be the problem ?
Remember these are the same tires and wheels from my old car which didn't have any sensor problem at all .

1. Turn the ignition to ON.
2. Press the 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 the TIRE TRAINING message appears.
6. Press the RESET button until the IPC LEARN L FRONT TIRE message appears in order to begin the programming sequence.
7. Install the J 41760 (Magnet) over the left front valve stem.
8. The horn will sound, indicating the left front TPM sensor is programmed.
Important
If the horn does not sound after 15 seconds, remove then reinstall the TPM sensor programming tool. This procedure may have to be attempted up to three times in some instances.
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
Get a fairly powerful magnet at a hardware store, you don't need the GM tool.

My local hardware store sells a circular magnet that is about 2 1/2" in diameter and about 1/4 " thick. It has a metal cover on the sides and top. Magnet is exposed on the bottom. Magnet is hollow in the middle with about a 1" inside diameter (like a flat donut). There is a 1/8" hole in the center top of the metal casing. Drill this out so it will fit over the valve stem. Cost was $ 1.95 + tax. Works on my '99 and '04. Magnet with the metal cover weighs about 2 oz. and seems strong enough to do the job.

Next time you throw a computer away, pull the HD out and tear it apart. There are two magnets in there......and you will NOT believe how strong they are. I keep a couple on hand for many reasons, one being re-programming my sensors.
Good Luck
