Need TPSM help or guidance
I just bought a 97 C5 and the diagnostic center says the TPSM needs service. I was hoping to bypass or shut this off but have been told either fix or put up with the message. Its annoying so I need to fix it. From what I have read the batteries seem to be a problem and can be replaced on this year. What I need is input with anyone who has dealt with this. Is it easy to change the batteries and has that been the problem most of the time? Or should i just replace the whole sensor? Either way is there some who supports this forum a vendor(s) that offer realistic prices on the parts? Any help would be appreciated.

If I were you I would first try to resync them to see if they work. When I bought my 99 this summer, I had the same issue, took a speaker magnet and went around and resync'd the sensors. They still work at this time. Easy to check and a lot cheaper if it works, if not they can be rebuilt as stated above or new ones, which are expensive.
