Default Tpms programming

I just installed a used rke module in my 2000 vette and purchased a pair of new fobs, programmed the fobs and all is great so far. Now I need to program tpms sensors. I don't have a tpms tool, but I do have a tech 2. When I purchased the car 4 years ago it didn't come with fobs and it's always had the scrolling tire pressire message. Being that this system hasn't worked in years and has a different rke module, how can I get these sensors working again? Thanks in advance!

Just did mine this summer. Procedure is in the owners manual. You need a fairly strong magnet for this.

IMHO, it's worth spending a few bucks to get the magnet. After I had one TPMS unit replaced due to a slow leak, I had a tire guy try to tell me the other 3 were bad, when I had just had them confirmed good at Pep Boys. Turned out his was bad, and he was trying to con me into replacing 3 good units.
