Tire sensor 'reset'?
Just switched to my winter wheels and tires a couple of days ago, and today the 'Service Tire-Monitoring System' warning came on. No readings on any wheel. (they do have sensors that worked before.)
Last time this happened, I took it to the dealer, where they just had to reprogram the car for the sensors, and charge me about $80.
Is there a way I can do that myself?
thanks

there is, and someone had given me the link to the procedure but I have lost it. I think it was on corvetteactioncenter.com
Simply you go into the programming mode for learning the remotes and tire monitoring system calibration is there. Anyone help us here? I actually tried to do this and failed to succeed. The part where you need a magnet to put on the sensors.... Couldn't get a magnet to work...? Help!

Here you go..
Tire Pressure Sensor Calibration Procedure:
1. Mount all four wheels/tires on vehicle and torque to specifications.
Place vehicle on the ground.
2. Turn ignition to ON position.
3. Press the DIC RESET button to clear any warning messages.
4. Press the DIC OPTIONS button until the display goes blank.
5. Press and hold the DIC RESET button for 3 seconds.
6. Press the DIC OPTIONS button again until the "TIRE TRAINING" message appears.
7. Press the DIC RESET button until the message, "LEARN L FRONT TIRE" appears.
8. Hold the magnet over the pressure sensor's location on the LEFT FRONT wheel (this should be next to the valve stem if installed correctly).
9. When the horn beeps, programming is complete for that wheel.
10. Program the other 3 wheel sensors as directed by the message display. The sequence is as follows: Left Front, Right Front, Right Rear, Left Rear.
11. For more information, refer to the Corvette Service Manual, page 3-114:

For those that want a KILLER magnet to do just about anything that you can imagine plus setting wheel sensors, all you need to do is find an old discarded microwave. There are two KILLER doughnut shaped magnets that are VERY powerfull on the magnatron! I have about 20 of them! 
I mount two of them on the bottom of my BMW K1200 RS motorcycle fairing to make the stop light traps trip! 
Works like a charm!!!
