tire sensors

[tankman]

Is thre any trick to getting a tire pressure sensor to work, other than recalibrating?? Three work one doesn't.

Are there different sensors for different years, or are all c5's interchangeable??

The owners' manual walks you through steps to re-train your tire pressure monitors. It looks fairly easy.

The sensors are different. I believe the changeover is 1997-2000, 2001-now. You have to reset all four. There is no way to retrain only one.

When I retrained mine I used a car speaker magnet. A refrigerator is likely not strong enough to activate the sending unit in the sensor.

What is the difference in the 2001+ air sensors? Is there a way to make them work on a 1999? I am thinking about buying a set of 2003 rims/tires from a guy with air sensors in them and was wondering if there is a way to make them work on my 99. Is it correct that 97-2000 are compatible?

I do not know the differences. However, I am sure C4C5 Specialist knows.
