Search for a tire sensor learn procedure. You have to have a BIG magnet to do it. You hold some buttons on the dash and go wheel to wheel etc... There is a cutoff where some year sensors speak a different language i think? Maybe 97-99? Or there is not sensor in the wheel just a valve stem. Good luck with the new car!

If you have or know of a good chevy dealer they have a tool that will fix it real quick for you , unless there are no sensors in the wheel, then youre outta luck, and will have to buy the new sensors, around 100 a piece I think :cheers:

Do you still have the stock run flats on your Vette or have they been changed? I've heard that some of the non-stock run flats give the sensors in the tires problems. :cheers:

Even if the 02 sensors are in there, they are incompatible with the 00. You should be able to get a set from LAPD or Extreme for about $300

Sell your sensors in the C5 Parts for sale section and buy some compatible ones. You may also be able to find these in the same section.
