Default Tpms issues

Has anyone ever had an issue with their TPMS on an 03 that was not a sensor issue?

Does your car lock and unlock with the FOB? So both the remote lock and unlock function and the TPMS interface with the receiver module.

Yes, FOB is fine. I had one original sensor to fail and I got a set of four aftermarket sensors and none of them work. I can't even pair them. I have another factory set coming.

How about providing the full background on the issue, exactly what the problem is, and the manufacturer and part number of the sensors you purchased?

Also any fault codes stored in the BCM module?

My 2003 corvette had the original TPS sensors still working fine until a couple weeks ago. I got a message that one of the rear sensors was not working. All the others were still OK. I decided to go ahead and replace them all since they were all the same age. I ordered a set of 4 from Amazon. I took all 4 wheels off and took to a tire store to have them replaced. I have a reset tool. When I got them back on I couldn't get any of them to work. 3 of the tire readouts were just dots with the rt rear saying tire is flat and cannot exceed 55mph. I found a set of 4 factory sensors and also purchased a Bead Buster to attempt to install them myself. For whatever reason I decided to replace the left front sensor first since it is the starting point to reset the positions. Everything went fine removing and installing the sensor. I decided to try to reset the sensors and the left front beeped the horn. I went around to all the other tires and all reset and all are working just fine now. So, I had a new bad sensor on the left front that kept all the others from registering. I have done very little tire and sensor repair over my years since I didn't sell tires so I learned something today. Maybe this can help someone else. Thanks

I've only had the car for a couple weeks. Its a C5 Anniversary Edition. A tire shop checked out my sensors and found them to be OK. They didn't pair them though. Now, two weeks later, I'm trying to pair the TPMS without success. My key fob works fine. I can lock-unlock doors, open trunk.....When I try to reprogram my TPMS, I can get the FOB Training display. Press the Reset then Options. Instead of "Tire Training" coming up, I get "Hold Lock & Un-Lock 1st Fob" . Any help? I need to see ":Tire Training". Again, toe key FOB works fine.
