Sometime ago I inquired concerning a digtal display on the dash each time I start the 1999 Vette. It shows Service Tire Monitoring System. I really have not understood the answers and need a better explanation as to what might be the problem. Is this a dealers repair job or do it yourselve project.
 
You can do it yourself. The message usually indicates the tire pressure sensors need to be retrained. Here are the instructions. Take your time and this should take care of the message.

. 1) Turn ignition on 2) Press "Reset" button in order to clear any IPC display warning messages 3) Press and release the "Options" button on the DIC to scroll through the display options until the IPC display is blank 4) Press and hold the DIC "Reset" button for 3 seconds 5) Press the "Options" button again until TIRE TRAINING message appears 6) Press "Reset" button until the IPC "Learn L Front Tire" message appears in order to begin the programming 7) Install the J41760 Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) System Programming Tool (large magnet will do) over the left front valve stem 8) The horn will sound, indicating the left front TPM sensor is programmed (if this takes more than 15 seconds, pull magnet back and try again, it will give you three tries. Then you must start over) 9) When the horn sounds, proceed to program the next TPM sensor in the following order as directed by the IPC messages: -Learn R Front Tire -Learn R Rear Tire -Learn L Rear Tire Programming can be canceled by turning ignition off, waiting 2 minutes with no sensors being learned, finishing all 4 wheels or through the DIC. If the programming is canceled with less than 4 sensors learned, it will only accept the codes programmed up to that point.
 
Thanks Rock & Roll, I have printed out your instructions and will attempt to correct the situation tomorrow. Doc
 
Hey Doc --

Looks like this might be the answer you were looking for. Check out the thread on upgrading the '98 wheels to the current style. I'm thinking about some Z06 style wheels for mine and if I decide to go ahead, you might be interested in mine.

Just today's rambling thoughts. By the time you get back Betsy will probably have changed my mind.
