Default Service TPMS Message

Ok I am confused ,I have perfect air pressure on all corners, today I had a message pop up that said Service TPMS . Little research says you need a electronic device to reset the sensors, not like the Magnet procedure on the C5 . My confusion is that I can't seem to get access to the screen that shows the LF.RF,RR,LR positions. So I have tried ACC on then push lock and unlock buttons on the fob simultaneously and got the two beeps from the horn . Now if I understand correctly I need to have an electronic reset tool and start at LF wait for beep, then RF til beep , then RR til beep ,then LR til two beeps . At that point will I have the readout in the DIC screen ?? Please let me know if I have the procedure correct. Thanks

No, I am not aware of that screen on a C6. What year/ model do you have? Some of the tools show details on the sensors, maybe its a low battery? your procedure is correct for programming.

It has never shown Tire pressures and I have never been concerned . Then this message appears today" Service Tire Monitor " . I've been running NON Run flats for ever , The only think I can figure is that maybe the wheel sensor batteries have expired .It is an 06,but only 23000 mi.

The service manual states for TPMS "any malfunction detected will cause the DIC to display a service tire monitor message type message" my bet is on a battery.

my 2010 did the same a few months ago with 30kish miles...did it only intermittently and battery "tested good". Suspected weak battery in sensor and had replaced anyway; no issues since.
