Is there a way to find out if they're working without installing ? THANKS

 

:confused:

 

You can do the relocation programming with that magnet before they are mounted. But even when the horn may come on all 4 sensors, this does not mean that they will show correct psi when mounted in the wheel. So the magnet test is only half the rent.
Remember, they only show psi when they are turning in the tire, because of the battery contact that is closed only above a defined speed. And if you rotate them outside by hand :D you do not have the 30psi.
So do the magnet test and if OK mount them with a rest of risk.

How do you do the magnet test ? :confused:

 

Anyone ?? :confused:

 

place your extra sensors on top of each wheel and hold the magnet to each one starting with the driver front.
go to the c5 tech tip section and it will give you the procedure for programming the sensors.

 

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.

MANY THANKS C5 FREDERIK & ROCKnROLL :cheers:

 

If your sensor display says to check the system are the sensors always bad or can you reprogram them or disable the system?

 

If one sensor is bad/dead you do not get the "check system" message. You only get a blank space in pressure for that dead sensor.
There must be a way to program the message to disappear, as all Z06 don´t have it, but I do not know how to.
