Can someone recommend someone/place in the Torontoa area that is reasonable to reprogram the TPMS when I swap wheels this Winter?

 

I can do it for you, I think you are in R hill. PM me please.

 

Its too easy to do it yourself. All you need is a magnet and this;

Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor Programming

The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system interfaces with the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) through the serial data line. Once the program mode is accessed through the IPC, each sensor's unique identification code can be programmed into the receiver's memory. Each sensor must transmit the unique code in the proper sequence. A magnet must be held close to the sensor in order to force the sensor to transmit the identification code. The IPC will display a message as each sensor is programmed, and when to proceed to the next sensor for programming. The receiver also sends a message to the BCM to sound the horn one time, indicating that the sensor properly transmitted an identification code. If the programming sequence is cancelled before any sensor is programmed, or if the vehicle's battery is disconnected, the receiver will remember all current identification codes. As soon as the receiver learns the first sensor identification code, all previously stored codes are erased from the receiver's memory.
J 41760 Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Programming Tool.
Tool required (any medium strength magnet, U or Disk type
1. Turn the ignition to ON.
2. Press the RESET button in order to clear any IPC display warning messages.
3. Press and release the OPTIONS button on the DIC to scroll through the display options until the IPC display is blank.
4. Press and hold the DIC RESET button for 3 seconds.
Notice: Refer to Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration in Cautions and Notices.
5. Press the OPTIONS button again until the TIRE TRAINING message appears.
6. Press the RESET button until the IPC LEARN L FRONT TIRE message appears in order to begin
the programming sequence.
7. Install the J 41760 Tire Pressure Programming Tool over the left front valve stem.
8. The horn will sound, indicating the left front TPM sensor is programmed.
9. When the horn sounds, proceed to program the next TPM sensor in the following order as directed
by the IPC messages:
- LEARN R FRONT TIRE
- LEARN R REAR TIRE
- LEARN L REAR TIRE
Programming Cancellation
1. The programming mode will be cancelled if any of the following conditions are met: - The program mode is exited through the DIC.
- The ignition is turned to OFF.
- All four sensors have been programmed.
- The TPM system has been in the program mode for longer than 2 minutes and no sensors
have been learned.
2. If the program mode is cancelled with less than four codes stored, the receiver will only accept the codes programmed up to that point


I got a doughnut magnet at Princess Auto for 99 cents.

Are you certain that will work with a C6?
I have a friend in Carlisle about to buy me a Bartec Trackside TPMS tool to reproram the wheels......... but if i dont need it i would prefer to buy the 99 cent magnet

 

The above does NOT work with a C6. Only C5's. If you want to do it yourself you will need a Barteck Trackside which you can get from Katech for $139 US or an Ateq VT 10 which you can get from Tirerack for $105. US. Both will do the same job equally well except with the Barteck you must specify GM OR Ford OR Chrysler while the VT 10 will do just about any vehicle with sensors. I have one and it works great. Magnets won't work on any C6, or any later year automobile for that matter.

 

PM sent

 

I can lend you the unit you need if you get stuck,

 

Thanks Rick

 

My bad... I thought he had a C5.

 

Thanks anyways
