RE: tire pressure sensors
 

I was doing some searching , and I have seen them before, it's asmall magnet that you place over the sensor to calibrate it. Not sure if this would help your situation or not. The sensor itself could be bad, and these run about $100.00

Here are the steps to program your tire sensors as posted by BMWDiver. You don't need the GM magnet, any strong magnet will do. Just make sure you program the tires in the proper order, or the readout will be mixed up. Start with the driver's tire and go in a clockward direction.


Follow the steps below to re program the tire sensors
(*** to program the tire sensore the use of a strong magnet is required , GM specifically designed and magnet in the shape of a tool calling it the TPM system programming tool J41760, although i have never tried it with out this tool its nothing more than a u-shapped magnet with a hole to allow it to be place right up against the rim over the valve stem***)


IMPORTANT: Make sure the vehicle is stationary for at least 2 minutes before attempting



1. turn the ignition to ON
2. press the REST 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
5. press the OPTIONS button again until the TIRE TRAINING message appears.
***note if the TIRE TRAINING message cannot be displayed, and the IPC is functioning properly, contactBMWDIVER and he'll walk you through programming the RPO codes.
6. Press the RESET button until the IPC LEARN L FRONT TIRE message appears in order to begin the programming sequence
7. install the j41760 ( magnet ) over the left front valve stem
8. the horn will sound, indicationg the left front TPM sensore is programmed
IMPORTANT: if the horn doesnot sound after 15 seconds, remove then reinstall the J41760 Magnet tool. this procedure may have to be attempted up to three times in some instances.
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


Hope this help

P.S. The cool thing about this is you can buy a Corvette Tire Sensor and it will work in any tire. Not like the old ones.
