Hi Al
It's hard to say exactly what the problem is.
First of all, I assume you checked the tire pressures with a hand held gauge - all the tires!
If your DIC says it's one of the rear tires that is 0 psi, if the sensors were ever swapped around to different locations when new tires were mounted and they weren't reprogrammed, then the DIC might not be showing the correct location for the tire with low pressure.
Butt.....I think that many times when the sensor's data in the TPMS memory gets corrupted it will read zero, and all the sensors will need to be reprogrammed into the TPMS computer's memory.
I think usually when the sensors go bad (damaged, low battery) that they will read "X psi" instead of zero.
So.....I think you probably need the sensors to be reprogrammed. It's about a one minute procedure, and your local Discount Tire will probably do it for free, but many dealers will charge to do it.

I will agree with the above. if you are seeing that all of your tires are at the correct gage, you may need to get your sensors reset. I would also check the battery. I have seen guys on the forum have issues with batteries that have caused all sorts of electronic issues for the Corvette.
Check the tires, and maybe check with the dealer?
