I just bought some chrome z06 wheels for my '98. I'm keeping my sensors. Will they fit into the wheels. The wheels are oem from a '01 z06? Do tires need to be removed or do the sensors go in from the outside in? I dont know much about this, so dont make fun of me.

thanks,
Chan

 

anybody?????? ttt

 

no worrys, should fit fine, your tire shop will take care of it all, just remind them they are there, just put z06 chromies on my 99 2 days ago. just fine.
:cheers:

 

You will need to relearn the sensors..... :flag

 

Can any decent garage do this or just the dealership?

 

Pressure sensor Re-learn Procedure.
1) Turn ignition on
2) Press "Reset" button in order to clear any IPC display warning messages
3) Press and release the "Options" button on the DIC to scroll through the
display options until the IPC display is blank
4) Press and hold the DIC "Reset" button for 3 seconds
5) Press the "Options" button again until TIRE TRAINING message appears
6) Press "Reset" button until the IPC "Learn L Front Tire" message appears in
order to begin the programming
7) Install the J41760 Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) System Programming Tool
(large magnet will do) over the left front valve stem
8) The horn will sound, indicating the left front TPM sensor is programmed
(if this takes more than 15 seconds, pull magnet back and try again, it will
give you three tries. Then you must start over)
9) When the horn sounds, proceed to program the next TPM sensor in the
following order as directed by the IPC messages:
-Learn R Front Tire
-Learn R Rear Tire
-Learn L Rear Tire

Programming can be canceled by turning ignition off, waiting 2 minutes with
no sensors being learned, finishing all 4 wheels or through the DIC.

If the programming is canceled with less than 4 sensors learned, it will only
accept the codes programmed up to that point.


If this is what you are refering to...Hope this helps........ :flag

 

your 98 sensors will be fine on the z06 wheels.
just be sure they replace the o-rings when they install them.
the tires do have to be removed and if the sensors are put back on the same corners they came off you won't have to reprogram them.

 

rocknroll, so i wont have to take my current tires off my y2k wheels to take the sensors off to put them into the new wheels? if so, thats what i wanted to hear.

thanks,

You WILL have to take off your old tires to get to your sensors. The valve stem and the pressure sensor are all one piece. If you look close from the outside you will see a threaded collar over the valve stem. That holds the sensor module that is on the inside part of the rim in place.

Your tire guy will have to remove your old tires from your old rim and remove the sensor. Then place the sensor and valve stem assembly onto your new rims and mount your new (or old tires) to your new rims.

As suggested above if you keep the sensors at in the same positions you will not have to "relearn" the sensors. If not it's really not a big deal to "reprogram" them. I just did mine yesterday. In fact, you live about 20 miles from me (Hanford) if you want to come by I already have the big magnet and can program them for you.
