Default TPMS question

I purchased an 03' convertible that had the painted aluminum wheels that were in bad condition...so I purchased a used set of polished aluminum wheels for a 2002 C5....the tires were in good shape on the wheels i purchased so i installed them as is....of course the TPMS is telling me the tires are flat....i am unfamiliar with the differences so could someone please give me a rundown on what i should do?
tired of the messages on my dash saying right rear tire is flat, etc.
thanks for your help

YES, you can change the battery BUT, it not a "remove the little door and pop out the old and in the new" Here is the procedure/s:

- Tire pressure sensor rebuild - http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...post1570376652

If that isn't what you need, there are TONs of similar procedures on You Tube.

YES, If you purchase a new 2001-2004 GM Schrader TPS, it will work with the rest.

You will just have to RE LEARN all four sensors when you reinstall the new sensor.

You will have to relearn the old sensor with the new battery too, once you get that one installed.
