Tire sensor problem
My left front tire sensor is showing 24 pounds and a low tire light.
The problem is the tire has 32 pounds in it, confirmed with two separate testers.
Is this a failed sensor (at 1300 miles!) or would a retrain help? Just didn't want to go through that for no reason. Not even sure I can do it on a C6 (I could on my C5, but I could get the codes too).
Thanks,
Tom

Did you check the pressure in all your other tires? The sensors may have gotten moved around from the corner of the car they were learned in. Did you get new wheels and swap tires? If so, then the DIC may be saying left front, but that sensor may be in a different position on the car now.
You can do the re-learn procedure if you have a tool that transmits a radio frequency to trigger the sensors. Your tire shop or dealer should do it for you. Or, take a ride up here to Port Orange and I'll do it for you!

I had a sensor fail on my 07' Trailblazer as soon as I took it off the lot. However, it was probably bad sensor from the start, and it would not register the pressure at all. As previously said, have it reset or replaced. Both easy. I had my in and out of dealer the same morning.
