How long does it take for the tire pressure sensors to transmit a new tire pressure?
I was getting a low pressure warning for two of my tires so I pumped them to 30psi. It took about six miles of driving before the reading on the dash went from 24 to 31 psi.

I'm not sure about the C5 sensors, but on the C6 they go to sleep when the car sits still for about 15 minutes. In the sleep mode they transmit once an hour.
Once you start driving over about 20 mph they start transmitting once per minute.
So....After you get to 20 mph it will probably take at least 1 minute. Your 6 miles sounds a little excessive, but maybe that's a C5 thing.
