I believe that the tire sensors will need to relearn for each tire. They'll come back and not all at once. Mine did last month after I had the battery unhooked for a while.

well i drove the car again today for about 50 miles and still no reading for the "psi"
will it take more time or do i need to take it to the dealer? i did get a msg on the dash that said "service tire monitors" ?
i cannot imagine all for of them failing at once!!

Get a magnet from the hardware store and reprogram the Tire Pressure Sensors, I believe its in the owners manual how to do it, you use the DIC and go to tire sensor relearn it tells you to go to a tire (Left Rear, right rear etc) and you just wave the magnet near the valve stem and when it takes it tells you what tire to go to next...

Magnet I used was about 2" long and 1/2" thick. Worked great.

I read they last about 7 years so if yours are origional it may be time for new ones depending on the year Vette.
