Default Resetting Tire Sensors

My right rear tire sensor went bad and constantly said my right rear tire was always flat...

So i got and installed a new one....Now the reading on my right rear tire pressure is "XX"

I don't have my Helms guide yet......can anyone tell me what if there is a certain order that i need to do things in to reset it....

I.E. stand on one foot, rum my stomach pop the trunk and sing a song........(and btw that doesn't work )

Thanx for any help i can get

I don't know if this will help . .

CORVETTE TYRE SENSOR TRAINING

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, like an old car speaker) 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 cancelled by turning ignition off, waiting 2 minutes with no sensors being learned, finishing all 4 wheels or through the DIC. If the programming is cancelled with less than 4 sensors learned, it will only accept the codes programmed up to that point.

Does that mean if you recalibrate one you have to continue to recalibrate the other 3? My tire shop broke one of mine today.

Doing all 4 only takes a couple of minutes, just hold the magnet by the stem on the wheel until the horn blows and move on to the next. 2 min. tops

I have three sets of wheels and tires that I swap around depending on the occasion.
I reset the sensors in about two minutes if no problems (see below).
I have found that if the ambient temperature is cold (below 50f) one or more of the sensors may not register, I drive the car and warm up the tires and then set the sensors.
To do one sensor you must do them all in the order displayed on your DIC.
The horn may not beep instantly upon application of the magnet, be patient, sometimes it will take 30 seconds or more.
