Default Tire Sensor Trouble---Can they cause a car to run faulty?

Looking at buying a supercharged corvette (paxton novi 2000 supercharger)
http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cto/2431782061.html

was scheduled to come test drive it today and he calls and said the car is running funny, when the cars builds boost it falls flat and he relates it a faulty tire sensor...?! Since i havent a clue I thought id ask you guys.

I do own an 05 and when my sensor went bad, it would flash but it never caused to car to run poorly.

Any thoughts? The way I see it, it could me a list of problems not just a sensor.

Thanks for any help

sounds more like it is going into Reduced Power Mode or REP for short.
