I have completed procedure, however running 20" tyres that need 40psi. Can DIC be programmed to allow higher pressures??
QUOTE=FactoryZ51;1582328350]Found this little relearn procedure on ebay:
RELEARN PROCEDURE FOR
Chevrolet Corvette-C6 05 -09
1. Turn ignition to RUN position
2. Press and hold unlock and lock buttons on the keyless entry transmitter until horn sounds.
3. Starting with LF tire increase/decrease the pressure until horn sounds.
4. After horn sounds proceed as in step 3 for the next 3 sensors in the following order: RF, RR, LR, After completing LR tire horn will sound twice.
5. Turn ignition to OFF position to exit vehicle learn mode. Adjust all tires to pressure listed on tire placard.[/QUOTE]
Followed the instructions....did the accessory mode thing...got the horn to sound, put the tool by the sidewall, by the valve....nothing.
Now what? Dealer?

The 2005-2009 model years have a TPMS that uses a tire pressure sensor that requires the signal transmitted by a TPMS tool in order to trigger it during the relearn procedure which programs the sensor ID#'s into the TPMS computer memory in the car.
With the 2010 model year, they changed the TPMS to one that uses a sensor that can be triggered by changing air pressure in the tire.
They continued to install that sensor into 2011 C6's built through December 2010.
Starting in January 2011 they began building the C6 with a different sensor (same TPMS, just a different sensor). The new sensor WILL NOT trigger by changing air pressure - it requires the signal from a TPMS tool.
So.....if you have a 2010 or early 2011, it should have the green sensor with GM Part# 15268606 which can triggered by changing air pressure, or it will also trigger with a TPMS tool.
If you have a C6 built after January 2011, it came with sensors that must be triggered by a TPMS tool.
If you do have a late 2011 or newer C6, you can use the green sensors. There may still be some available through GM parts distributors, and new and used ones are available on eBay and other sources. That green sensor was used in numerous other GM vehicles for a couple years before they started installing them in the 2010 C6.
When doing the relearn procedure, the first thing you do is to put the ignition in the ACCESSORY mode by pushing the bottom of the ignition switch to get the yellow light illuminated by ACC.
Watch the video below to see the entire relearn procedure using a TIPS TPMS tool. If you have a 2010 or early 2011 (or if you have a late 2011-2013 and switched over to the green sensors, or put green sensors into a second set of track wheels) then where I'm using the TPMS tool to excite/trigger the sensor you would instead just change air pressure to trigger the green sensor.

Nice Video,
I am located in Germany & my C6 is a MY 09 and have a question if you have a repair of one TMPS.
Do I have to learn all 4 units as in your video or only the one which gets relaced.

You must re-learn all four...it cannot be done individually. And please use all info from Bob BEZ06 as much of the other info in this thread is incorrect. He knows and has shared more info on the TPMS system than anyone.
To answer your question though they are not user replaceable. If you have the time though and you want to save money it can be done.
Thanks for the links!!! I figured somebody would try this. Problem is the gasket and sleeve may need to be replaced. I did the repair kit thing with my wife's Volvo C30 (same sensors) and what a PIA and expensive too.
How do you check to make sure new sensors(25758220) function before installing them on the car?
You can go through the entire programming procedure without ever opening the packages that they arrive in. Sensors do not need to be in a wheel/tire to function and be programmed to the car.
Check my post in the other thread, the one you started...as there is much incorrect info in this thread.
Hold the acc button for a minute and it go to run mode!
Bought a used Cub Pro-101 tpms reset tool for my new(to me) 2008 Z06. Trying to follow much of the directions in this thread, and the Cub does read the pressure and serial numbers off the tpms sensors on each of the tires, but can't get the car to relearn the sensor info. Maybe I am not getting the car into learning mode? Much of the above discussion talks of putting ignition into "run" mode, which I interpret as pressing the upper part of the green start button until all power is on except the motor is not started. I also see much listings of the "acc" mode must be activated, which would be a press of the lower part of the green start button. Then the above post speaks of pressing the lower part of the button for one minute to enter "acc" mode. Lots of varying information. The instructions for the Cub tool say put the car into "on/run/acc" with the engine off. That sort of covers all the options but still not clear which ignition setting is correct as there are several possibilities. Be nice to get a consensus for us newbs. Thanks!

I did mine in ACC mode. Just watch the video posted earlier in the thread.
Kept trying the Cub Pro 101, got car to honk once, into learning mode but the Cub in "scanning" mode was not getting the car to honk at each wheel. Finally gave up, ordered a $17 EL-50448 reset tool, one button operation, much easier and simpler. First try got it to work, all four wheels now have tpms reset. Yeah! Great tool that EL-50448, even though it says works on 2010 and up models, it still worked on my 2008 Z06.
toy4speed.
press the bottom of the start button to put the car into ACC mode (right light will light up). Do not hold the bottom of the starter button down for 5 seconds to put the car past ACC mode, but into run. motor off mode instead.
Hence you just want the single bottom of starter push to put the car in Acc mode, and the right hand side botton button should light up as in the above video.
Now with the fob around the shifter, press both lock and unlock at the same time, continue to hold both button in for a few seconds, and the horn will honk/ the DIC display will read to effect that the car is in TPMS relearn mode. Leave the fob in the car around the shifter location, and you can leave the door open if you want to.
On the cub pro 101 with the batteries charged, turn it on via the right hand button, select 05 to 09 corvette via the center and lower/upper buttons, and your going to use 1/3 scan setting function of scan/trigger each TPMS.
Note, do not have either the fob, or a phone in your hand close to the tool when you are using the club 101.
Start with the drivers front tire, hold the front of the cub to the sidewall of the tire just above the valve stem, hit the center button to scan the TPMS, and hold the tool to the side wall of the tire until you hear the cars horn honk.
Next go to the passengers front tire, hold the tool to the sidewall of the tire just above the valve stem, press the center button again to scan the TMPS, and again hold the tool tight against the side all until you hear the car horn honk.
Now move to passengers rear time, and do the same thing again with the tool until the car horn honks.
The last tire you going to do will be the drivers rear tire, and this time, instead of a single honk, your going to get two car honks (meaning that all 4 tpms sensors have been learned into the car,and your down with the needed step. Now back in the car, just push the starter button on the bottom to shut the car off, pull the car back out of run mode with the motor off.
And again, on the Cub pro 101 tool, it will be the 1/3 scan function, and not the 2/3 copy sensor function, or 3/3 program sensor function that you are going to use to trigger the TPMS so the car can relearn them.
The 2/3 copy function, and 3/3 program function are used if you want to clone a second set of Clone TPMS to the tpms in the tires, to use on a second set of tires. Hence with the sensor cloned and in both sets of tires, you don't need to relearn the new tires TPMS back into the car again.
____________________________
Also to point out, if you have a cub 101 tool, but need to relearn in TPMS's in a corvette from the 2010 to 2013 years car, then the car setting you want is the Chevy HRR 08 to 09 on the cub 101 tool instead. Hence the HRR for these years uses the same TPMS as the later vets, and this setting can be used for the later vets as well (since there is no corvette 2010 to 2013 year programed in the tool).
And the reason that I bring this up, if suspect that the wrong year TPMS are in a vet tires, do a scan with both settings (vet and HRR), of a tires TPMS, and see which one will give you information about the TPMS. If you have a 2010 or later vet, and the tool will only read the TPMS in the corvette 05 to 09 mode (or visa versa with the tool in corvette HRR 08-09 mode for 09 or early model), then the wrong year TPMS are in the tires. If you can not get a reading of from either settings, then either the batteries on the TPMS is dead, or the complete wrong TPMS is in the tire instead (not for a C6 vet, not matter what year).
What the Cub tool should look like if it can scan the TPMS in the tire, hence battery in the TPMS still good, and the correct year for the tool setting/model year of the vet. Attachment 48333004
And again, before you use the cub 101 tool, put it on the charger until its' charge light goes out, so it will fully charge the rechargeable batteries.
Honestly, I wouldn't call messing around with air pressure an easier way, as had a Bartec tool for years now, and can't imagine anything easier/faster. Since 08', Vettes aren't the only thing TPMS equipped, as all cars are now, and the tool is needed for a simple tire rotation on all of them.
....but still too much work for me. I just jot down where I rotated each tire to and leave the note in the glove box for future reference. And lets face it, tire rotation while needed occasionally, is an over rated maintenance item anyway so I don't rotate on any vehicle as often as the "Experts" suggest.......
@Dano523, thank you for the very detailed and clear explanation of tpms reset steps. Nice to have a concise explanation for this specific tool. As much as I do appreciate the info, still couldn't get the honk at each wheel to send sensor info to the car. Yes, got the car into learn mode (with in ACC, got the single honk), initiated the scanning function 1/3 within 1 minute of car getting into learn mode. No honk. The Cub is indeed reading the sensors as I get the sensor pressure reading, sensor ID, just as in you pic above, but no honk and transfer of info to the car (Cub was set for the Corvette '05-'09 yrs).
Really hard for me to see the Cub display outside, need to do this inside the garage, otherwise can't read the display. Even charging the Cub for 12 hrs didn't seem to help (battery charge light did go off, seemed to be full charged). Can only assume for some reason the Cub is not triggering the sensors to transmit the info to the car, not sure why.
For the $17 cost of the new EL-50448, I decided to stop wasting my time.
For others just obtaining a used Cub Pro, this info hopefully will be helpful.
The only time I have had problems doing a TPMS relearn, is in a tight garage. By moving the car to the drive way with open room around the car, did not have problems with the RCDLR picking up the triggered TPMS instead.
So the fact that the cub tool was picking up the scanned/trigger tpms sensors to display there info one at a time on the tool, tells me that the TPMS where triggered to be begin with, but just the RCDLR did not pick up the triggered TPMS signal isntead.
So could have been tight conditions around the car to cause signal problems to the RCDLR, or as stated, could have have a phone of something else near the tool that was causing a problem with the triggered TPMS signal reaching the RCDLR instead (why I state to leave the FOB in the car).
P.S, love the post of the lad that his Fobs where not working in his vet, only to find out that his kid was building-playing with a Tesla coil (tons of FR noise generated to block out the fob signals) in the room over the garage at the time isntead.

Uh, when I changed wheels the local Chevy dealer did it for free. (Dealorship sponsors local Corvette Club)
Hi guys - I know I'm bumping an old thread but wanted to take a minute out and say thank you! I've been getting tires and wheels swapped recently so I could get my Crays repaired and found myself with the FL:XX FR:XX message and was bummed about having to go back to the shop yet again. I read this, bought an inexpensive TPMS reset tool from Amazon, (was literally $13 bucks) followed the procedures above, and it fixed me up.
I was able to do it by using Accessory mode, looks like there was some back and forth about what mode to be in. Then just went around to each tire and when the horn beeped once went to the next one. When I did tire number 4, the horn beeped twice, I turned the car from Acc to Off, opened and closed the door, then started the car with no error message displayed and tire pressure readings all around! woohoo
I bought this one and it arrived at my door the very next day.

Anyway just wanted to say thinks to my fellow Corvette brothers for being so helpful, this site allows a dude like me to own a car that still makes me smile every time I walk up to it in the parking lot!
....but still too much work for me. I just jot down where I rotated each tire to and leave the note in the glove box for future reference. And lets face it, tire rotation while needed occasionally, is an over rated maintenance item anyway so I don't rotate on any vehicle as often as the "Experts" suggest.......
