Default 2002 C5 programing a replacement TPMS sensor

Hello
The right rear TPMS sensor on my 2002 convertible stopped working. I purchased a new Schrader EZ-sensor #33700 to replace the OEM GM 25731358 sensor on the right rear wheel. I got into the DIC, in the TPMS learn mode, to start with the left front wheel, I know I have 45 seconds to relearn all four sensors. I have a round magnet and starting programing with the left front wheel, held the magnet next to the valve stem and the horn beeped. Then when to the right front wheel put the magnet next to the valve stem, the horn beeped. The to the right rear wheel with the new sensor held the magnet next to the valve stem waited for the beep, waited for the beep, waited for the beep, never beeped. Anyone have a suggestion as to why the right rear wheel sensor will not program? Appreciate any help.

That sensor will need to be programmed with one of those tpms tools first, not a magnet

feeder82 is right. The new schrader sensors can only be triggered by a 120khz TPMS tool. Magnets aren't going to work going forward.
