Hi,

I have just put my new wheels with the R888 on my C5 corvette. I don't get information about the tire pressure.

Can you help me with it? I think there is something to do with a magnet ... But I don't have the full procedure.

Thanks.

Heres the procedure straight out of the book. You do not have to use the specific tool as any powerful magnet will work:

Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor Programming
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system interfaces with the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) through the serial data line. Once the program mode is accessed through the IPC, each sensor's unique identification code can be programmed into the receiver's memory. Each sensor must transmit the unique code in the proper sequence. A magnet must be held close to the sensor in order to force the sensor to transmit the identification code. The IPC will display a message as each sensor is programmed, and when to proceed to the next sensor for programming. The receiver also sends a message to the BCM to sound the horn one time, indicating that the sensor properly transmitted an identification code. If the programming sequence is cancelled before any sensor is programmed, or if the vehicle's battery is disconnected, the receiver will remember all current identification codes. As soon as the receiver learns the first sensor identification code, all previously stored codes are erased from the receiver's memory.

Programming TPM Sensors
Tool Required
J 41760 J 41760 .






Important
Make sure the vehicle has been stationary for at least 2 minutes before attempting to program the TPM sensors.


Turn the ignition to ON.
Press the RESET button in order to clear any IPC display warning messages.
Press and release the OPTIONS button on the DIC to scroll through the display options until the IPC display is blank.
Press and hold the DIC RESET button for 3 seconds.
Press the OPTIONS button again until the TIRE TRAINING message appears.
Press the RESET button until the IPC LEARN L FRONT TIRE message appears in order to begin the programming sequence.
Install the J 41760 J 41760 over the left front valve stem.
The horn will sound, indicating the left front TPM sensor is programmed.
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 Cancellation
The programming mode will be cancelled if any of the following conditions are met:
The program mode is exited through the DIC.
The ignition is turned to OFF.
All four sensors have been programmed.
The TPM system has been in the program mode for longer than 2 minutes and no sensors have been learned.
If the program mode is cancelled with less than four codes stored, the receiver will only accept the codes programmed up to that point.

I resurected a magnet from an old stereo speaker that works very well. ( It's like a donut, just hold it over the valve stem....)

i use my magnetic wrist band that you can get from lowes to hold nuts and bolts while you work on them. the DIC says which tire to go to, i slap my wrist against the valve stem and a honk later i move on.

Excellent ! Thanks. I need to find a magnet now !

I had the GM magnet with a GM part number but I don't know what happened to it.

If you're a nerd like me, hard drive magnets work great.

Well not sure I fit the definition ! Can I use a full portable hard drive?
