TPM programming for C6
The procedure I have seen given in the forum for re-programming the tire pressure sensors does not seem to apply to the C6, or, I'm doing something wrong. Has anyone actually done this yet on their C6? If so, I would appreciate your advice. As I get involved in wheels and tires in the coming months, I would like to know how to do this.

TPM Changed Procedures
The procedures that worked on the 04 do not work on the 05. Method and tools have been changed. I had to have one replaced and the tire shop tried to get the old method to work with no luck. Ended up sending it to the Chev dealer. Took about 3 minutes.

The C6 requires two tools to program the sensors.
Each sensor has an internal low frequency (LF) coil. When the J-46079 TPM tool is used in activate mode it produces an LF transmission that activates the sensor. The sensor responds to an LF activation by transmitting in learn mode. When the RCDLR receives a learn mode transmission while in TPM learn mode, it will assign that sensor's ID to the location on the vehicle relative to the order in which it was learned.
Each sensor has an internal magnetic reed switch. When the J 41760 sensor activating tool is held close to a sensor, the reed switch closes, activating the sensor. The sensor responds to a magnetic activation by transmitting in learn mode. When the RCDLR receives a learn mode transmission while in TPM learn mode, it will assign that sensor's ID to the location on the vehicle relative to the order in which it was learned.
The C5 only requires the 41760 tool.
