This is odd. I can not figure out why on my 07 Saturn Aura to get the sensors relearned when I rotated my tires all I had to do was get it in the learn mode then lower the air pressure a bit and the horn sounded. Then go to the next tire and drop it a few pounds, etc, etc. This was the procedure in the owners manual!
So on my 08 Corvette I have to buy a tool!!!
It seems like the magnet method is just getting the sensor to send a signal, so now I'm wondering if just lowering the tire pressure will do the same?
Anyone tried it? No need for me to do it yet.

Yes, the CTS-V, Tahoe and some other GM applications can be triggered by raising and lowering the pressure as prescribed in the Owner's Manual...this doesn't work with the C6 sensors however.

Take a look at this thread in the for-sale section where another member was looking for a tool and I hopefully answer your question about the Schrader 21210:

It is a really great tool and completely universal and upgradeable. I'll PM some links on where you might get one at a good price (i.e., maybe less than $200).
