TPMS won’t clear
I have recently gotten a 2001 corvette, and when I received it read “Service Tire Monitoring System.” I’ve nearly had it for a month now and it’s all that is displayed. I’ve tried pulling codes but none of the side buttons work while the error message is on. A neighbor helped me out with an OBD2 and was able to clear the error code for a few days, but it eventually came back. The buttons worked after the message was cleared. I tried looking through the forums and with other people having the TPMS problem but I am unable to reset the error to clear the screen. Does anyone else have this problem? Thanks

likely a dead or missing sensor, but it's weird that pushing RESET on the panel won't clear the dash.
i installed my second set of tires with regular stems, and i had to clear that message every time i started the engine. afterwards, everything worked like normal.
does it beep when you press RESET (acknowledging the button press)?

One other thing to try - disconnect the battery and leave it disconnected for an hour or so. Sometimes that will reset the electronics and enable things to perform correctly. As others have said, pressing the reset button should clear things, but if that is not working try the battery trick.

if pressing reset doesnt clear the message it's possible your reset button is malfunctioning. Otherwise, it should go away. It does come on every drive cycle (every time you start up the car after shutoff) and the only way to permanently clear the message is to fix/replace/reprogram the malfunctioning sensors.

and the TPM message should go away with a single quick RESET press (not required to hold like for other values)... if not, the RESET button is likely malfunctioning or not being acknowledged by the module.
