Default [Central FL] Need TPS Tool.

*** UPDATE *** see link

Anyone has a Tire Pressure Sensor reset tool that could help me out? I have new tires, wheels, and sensors on my '06 C6 and I need to re-register these new sensors.

Thanks in advance,
Martin.

Well, i'm not sure how it works for the C6...but the tire pressure reset tool for the C5 was nothing more than a big magnet. I usually use a heavy speaker to reset my TPS's Best of luck guys.

If you have one of those magnetic name badges... those come with a pretty strong magnet. I had to stack two to work on the XLR. Haven't needed to try the Vette, but it's something you might have around the house.

It's totally different than the C5s, you can't use a magnet at all. Here is a thread that Bob (beezeye) did on this topic.

That's why I need the tool and I'm trying to avoid going to the dealer.

Could be... but the XLR basically IS a C6 and I reset the tire sensors (because I rotated the tires... all the same size on the XLR) with a magnet.

Okay, I haven't had the chance of getting a lot of good pictures of the new wheels since I just got in from NLP. I only snapped a few and this one was the best, taken when I dropped it at NLP.



I will take better pictures and post them.

The twin turbos are done, feels great by the way. I still need some help from Chris to install the brakes, shocks, and sway bars. And early next year I have to take it to Tim Burke for all the panels to finish it up.
