switching rims from an 01 to an 02 (sensors)

[yellowtin]

I purchased an 02 vette and the 01 I still have has better tires. If I just switch tires and rims, will the tire pressures register on each car? Or will I have to move the tires, but leave the rims on the respective cars? Thanks for your help in advance.

The transponders are standardized. No issues - they'll work fine when you switch the tires and wheels between the two cars.

Thanks for the reply Remo. I wonder if two corvettes are sitting side by side, which pressures does each car read?

I think you'll have to retrain the sensors!

yellowtin,

jrose has a point - there was a design change on the transponders in 2001 and that may have required a change in the recieving units However, since you're talking about a 2001 and 2002 vette I think you'll be fine. Check out the differences between the two designs advertised by Mid America Corvette Supply.

You will have to program new or different sensors to your vehicle.

Yellowtin,

Here's a thread on the procedure to reprogram the sensors.
