Go down to Discount Tire or other tire shop (DT does this for free) and have your TPMS reprogrammed. The one might just have been programmed when the tire happened to be low.

I have all four original TPMS in my 2007. My left front will give me a false warning every once in a while. This has happened 5 or 6 times over the last 3 years and always goes away quickly. I just look at it as a minor electrical glitch. I will replace my TPMS when I buy new tires.

My 07 was born on sept 06. Last week I replaced all 4 original TPMS. Of the original, 2 were working, 1 was DOA and the 4th was intermittent.

Did the DIC reading match your mechanical gauge reading? Today sitting at a stop sign, my 09 flashed "RF tire flat" and something about restricting speed that I didn't read. I pulled off the road and was going to look at the tire, but when I pressed the gauges button for tire pressure, all four read 31psi. As I started moving, the alarm had disappeared and did not come back. When I got home, I read with a mechanical gauge and got 32 psi. I googled "C6 Corvette tire pressure sensor false readings" and got pages of reports of the same intermittent flags. Some of those replaced the sensors, but most did not. Some said they got false reading a couple of times a month or so, but once they drove another few minutes, it went away and read properly. I don't think reprogramming would do anything for you, if the car didn't recognize the sensors you wouldn't get a reading. I don't know about the C6, but on my C5 when a sensor wasn't programmed, the DIC read "tire pressure xxx" Google it and read how common it is, maybe it will ease your mind.

Problem solved Dic was reading R/R tire low. Every time I checked it was good. So I checked all tires to verify readings. Turned out <when previous owner, had new tires installed they reversed the rear left and right rims. So in reality it was the L/R was low. Put air in drove it and fine now..
