O.K just got back from a 40 min ride and I am happy to report that I did not have any issues with any codes. Rode with lights on and speeds between 55 and 75 MPH. I am hoping it stays that way !

Well just got back from a ride in my 2019 Z. Unfortunately the dreading service Tire pressure monitoring service came on. I taped all the side markers and installed the little chokes all the way around was tight up on the connector too. I’m running out of hope Next I’m going to put on the bigger chokes a little further back and if that doesn’t work I GIVE UP!!! 😫

Since I would prefer to not violate the wiring on my car, if the problem shows up, I will put the ferrite chokes on before soldering in the capacitors. It is a bit more money but non invasive. Thanks for the suggestion and I should have thought of it also as I have a couple of those on some control wires on my ham radio station.
No worries, anytime!

Guys, I bought the ferrite collars for the wire and the magnetic tape. What do I do now?
Should the collar be as close to the light as possible?
With the tape what do I tape??
Thanks! Im sick of the tpms light but not sick enough yet to go back to stock. Lol. Im hoping these two items will mitigate the RF signal or whatever electromagnetic interference it is.

But, if I recall correctly (and this is not a criticism), you put the foil tape right away without knowing if you had any problem with the TPMS.
That is, the foil tape may or may not be doing anything.

Correct! I went with the mindset better safe than sorry and it only took 5 mins to do each corner.
it seemed to me it was more likely than not that it would happen.

I just bought a 2014 Z51 a month ago. I'm having the same problem. The guy I bought from said they have been doing it for a long time. He had the dealer look at it and they couldn't figure it out.. He did put Showstopper black out LED side markers on. I'm wondering if that's the issue. If I disconnect them and that's the problem, do I have to do the relearn and drive the car to see if that's the problem?
