C7 tpms
Hey guys. I am having issues with my sensors for the my c7. I got some new wheels and tires and bought the sensors for the tires. Took it to 2 dealers and one couldn't figure it out and the second dealers says that the sensor is to far and they will have to reprogram it that way but it'll cost 560 bucks! Can anyone help me! It shoulnt cost me this much to program the gm sensors. Any advice would be appreciated.

The C7 sensors should auto program. You have to drive the car for about 10-15 miles at speeds above 45 mph but it should auto program. At least it has for our cars when I have swapped wheels and tires over on them.
Possible it doesn't have the right sensor in it?

This is what he dealer told me to get after I gave them my vin #. Reading other places tgboigh these sensors might be the wrong ones or overseas version. Does this mean I have to fet the new ones ? Also which ones do you put on your wheels? Thanks.

That part number is listed as the export version for non-USA applications. Where are you located?
I see part 19119416 as US version.

I'd imagine this would explain them not auto learning on your car. I don't know if there is a way to force the export TPMS to program with a tool. The bottom line is that the TPMS should learn into your car within a few minutes of driving. I have two sets of Z51 wheels, and each time I swap the relearn happens within 3 miles of driving.
There is a forced relearn mode on the C7 for times the auto mode doesn't work, but I'm not sure that would even work for your case.

The price the shop is quoting you is just stupid. Worst case you need to buy new sensors and have them installed. So $130 for sensors and $80 for dismount/install/remount. And return the incorrect sensors.

If it is the Euro version..then no they will not program. They run on a different 'channel' so to speak than the US cars so I don't think the car would ever know they are there in the first place...which also explains why it can't find them.

And Amazon:
Whether it autolearns, not sure, but it should work.
