tire pressure sensor question
I bought a second set of wheels and tires and pressure sensors.
If I program the new sensors to my car do I have to reprogram every time I change the tire/wheel package?
I am only using the new wheels and tires for the track - solo II and drag strip but I want the pressure sensors for the road trips to and from the tracks.

As long as you don't mind doing your racing without tire pressure readings you won't have to reprogram the sensors after each wheel change. Just program the wheels you want to use for your road trips and as long as you return the wheels to their original corners you're good to go.

Make sure that the sensors are the same style as your stock sensors, 2000 and later are different than 99 and earlier and are NOT interchangeable!

but I think you are off by 1 year. I thought that 97-00 used one system, and 01-04 used a different system.If you swap wheels/tires and want the DIC to read them, you have to go through the reprogramming step.
