Vt06 tpms tool ?

I cannot get my tool to show anything but a yellow triangle. Now the dash shows a system failure with all the pressure numbers XX.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks

The sensors used on the C7 do not need a tpms tool.
Make sure you have compatible sensors, and they just work auto-"magically" when in range. (Installed on the car.)

This. Just install the correct sensors with good batteries and drive the car. The car will program itself to the new sensors within a couple of miles (although I did have to wait all day for one of the sensors in my track wheels to be recognized one time).
