Corvette Tire Pressure Monitoring System<br />
If you are experiencing problems with your Corvette TPMS on your C5, here is<br />
something to try before you take it to the dealership.<br />
There are a couple <strong>of</strong> items to note about the TPMS. First <strong>of</strong> all, the sensors are<br />
not the same for all years, 1997-2000 and 2001-2004 take different sensors.<br />
Also, these sensors contain batteries that seem to have a life span <strong>of</strong> about 5<br />
years. The sensors cost about $90 to $140 to replace (not including tire dismount<br />
and reinstallation) depending on the year.<br />
The TPMS interfaces with the DIC (Drive Information Center). Once the program<br />
mode is accessed through the DIC, each sensor’s unique identification code can<br />
be programmed into the receiver’s memory. Each sensor must transmit the<br />
unique code in the proper sequence. A magnet must be held close to the sensor<br />
in order to force the sensor to transmit the identification code. The DIC will<br />
display a message as each sensor is programmed, and when to proceed to the<br />
next sensor for programming. The receiver also sends a message to sound the<br />
horn one time, indicating the sensor properly transmitted the identification code.<br />
When the receiver learns the first sensors identification code, all previously<br />
stored codes are erased from the receiver’s memory.<br />
If your TPMS system is not functioning or giving ‘false’ readings, it can be<br />
reprogrammed by following these steps. You will require a J-41760 TPMS<br />
Programming Tool, basically a circular magnet the goes over the valve stem<br />
(Schrader Style) on the wheel.<br />
Note: The vehicle has to be stationary for at least two minutes before attempting<br />
to program the TPMS.<br />
Step One: Turn the ignition ‘On’. (Do not start the car)<br />
Step Two: Clear any warning messages from the DIC by pressing the<br />
RESET button.<br />
Step Three: Press the OPTIONS button on the DIC until the ‘Blank Page” is<br />
displayed.<br />
Step Four: Press and hold the RESET button for about 3 seconds. Press the<br />
OPTIONS button again until ‘TIRE TRAINING’ appears.<br />
Step Five: Press the RESET button again until ‘LEARN L FRONT TIRE’<br />
message appears in order to begin the programming sequence.<br />
Step Six: Install the J-41760 Tire Pressure Programming Tool over the left<br />
front (LF) valve stem. The horn will sound, indicating that the LF
