TPS learning
I am trying to re-learn my tire pressure sensors to the vehicle after a long dead battery. I got very good directions from the forum... but, after I learn the first sensor (L, Front), the IPC tells me to go to the (R, Front). No matter how many times I try, the R Front doesn't respond.
What now? or What do I do next?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Mike

I assume there's no way to re-charge the battery in the sensor? I also assume that it was coincidence that this crapped out the same time my battery did, or did this dead battery cause the sensor to fail? I checked with a local Chevrolet Dealer... $184.00 plus tax for a new sensor. Wow and Ouch!

I know that there are GENEIC sensors now that replace the OEM sensors and they are a LOT less money! Walmat sevice centers even have them. See if Autozone or Advance can get them for you. You can replace the battery:- Tire pressure sensor rebuild - http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...post1570376652 http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...-tutorial.html http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...post1575112894
If you have an ealy C5 (97-2000),, You can also completly convet the system to the late model TPS system:
