Here's what you should try:
* Re-inflate tires to the correct pressure: This is the simplest step. Incorrect tire pressure is the most common cause of TPMS warnings. Check your sticker on the driver's side doorjamb for the recommended pressure.
* Check the TPMS sensors: If you replaced the wheels, ensure the TPMS sensors from the old wheels were correctly transferred to the new ones. If new wheels were used without sensors, they'll need to be installed. These are small devices usually found inside the valve stem. A tire shop will have the tools and expertise for this.
* Drive the car: Sometimes, just driving the car for a short distance will allow the system to relearn the tire pressures and reset itself.
* Manual Reset (If Applicable): Some 1998 Corvettes might have a procedure to manually reset the TPMS. Consult your owner's manual. It may involve a specific sequence of key presses or a button press in combination with driving. However, a manual reset is less common in this era of TPMS.
If none of the above works, you'll need to visit a tire shop or a mechanic: They have the tools to:
* Check for faulty TPMS sensors: A sensor might be malfunctioning or dead.
* Program new TPMS sensors: If you have new wheels without sensors, these need to be programmed to the car's system. This typically requires specialized tools.
* Reset the TPMS system: Even if sensors are functioning, a professional can often reset the system using a scan tool.
In short, there's no "computer reset" button. The solution involves checking the sensors, tire pressure, and possibly professional intervention to reset or reprogram the TPMS. Always consult your owner's manual for specific instructions, if available.
