8. When the horn sounds, the IPC will direct you to move on to the next sensor. (The sequence is left front, right front, right rear, left rear.) The programming can be canceled at any time by turning the ignition off. If the programming is cancelled with fewer than four sensors learned, it will only accept the sensors programmed up to that point.
The following is a step-by-step procedure for reprogramming the C6 Corvettes sensors. This procedure requires a wheel-sensor-reprogramming tool:
1--6. These steps are the same as for the C5.7. Install the wheel-sensor-reprogramming tool over the left front valve stem. The horn will sound, indicating that the left front TPMS sensor is programmed. If this takes more than 15 seconds, pull the reprogramming tool back and try again. If the procedure fails after three tries, you'll need to start the sequence over from the beginning.

This reprogramming tool from OTC is one of the simplest-to-use units we've encountered.

There are no special procedures to follow when removing the wheels from a TPMS-equipped vehicle. Just be sure to remount each wheel in the same position it was in prior to removal.
If the wheel sensors need...
If the wheel sensors need to be programmed, the dash may display a blank reading where the tire pressure is normally shown. The sensors only send a signal when the vehicle is in motion above 20 mph. They also transmit once per hour when the car is parked. If the pressure in a tire rises or falls outside the calibration limits, a warning light will illuminate. The low limit is 24 psi, and the upper limit is 39 psi. Do not replace the Schrader valve or cap with standard parts. The sensor uses the valve stem as an antenna, and the wrong part could impede its ability to transmit.
