TPMS Relearn?
I DID search, but didn't find the answer I was looking for.
On Saturday, as I was pulling into my driveway, My "Service Tire Monitor" came on.
My RR pressure was XX. I figured maybe I hit a nail. Checked the pressure, it's at 32lbs, where I always keep it
So the sensor either died on me, or it lost the signal. Its a 2007, with almost 9500 miles. Can I use my Key Fob or something to "relearn" that tire and see if it'll pick up a signal?
In my 2008 HHR SS I can reprogram the TPMS with the key fob, figured I could with the Vette?
Or am I stuck just getting it warrantied?

The TPMS on a C6 is different than the previous generation on the C5's. A special tool is required....it resets the TPMS via radio signal.

You need a TPMS tool to register the sensors. I'd call first to check but I believe most Discount Tire stores will reset your sensors free of charge (I know my local DT does).Check the C6 FAQs page or do a search for DIY videos by BEZ06. He's the resident expert on TPS's. Watching his video(s) will give you a better understanding of how they work (and you can save the Discount Tire guy some time by putting it into learn mode for him).
If for some reason there's still a problem you might want to have it fixed under warranty. Assuming it's a sensor problem it should be an easy fix.
