Here's the process:
1. Inflate tires: Inflate all four tires to the correct pressure as specified on the sticker inside your driver's side doorjamb or in your owner's manual.
2. Drive the car: Drive the Corvette for about 10-15 minutes at speeds above 20 mph (32 km/h). This allows the system to register the new pressure readings from each sensor.
3. Check the system: After driving, the TPMS warning light should turn off if the pressures are correct. If the light stays on, there might be a problem with one or more sensors (faulty sensor, low battery, or incorrectly installed sensor).
If the light remains on after this process, you'll need to investigate further. Possible reasons include:
* Low tire pressure: Double-check tire pressure. Even a slight underinflation can trigger the light.
* Faulty sensor: One or more sensors might be malfunctioning and need to be replaced.
* Sensor battery: TPMS sensors have batteries that eventually die. A dead sensor needs replacing.
* Wiring issues: A rare possibility, but damaged wiring to the sensors could be the cause.
Important Note: If you've recently had your tires rotated or replaced, the system may need a bit longer to relearn. If the problem persists after a significant amount of driving, take your Corvette to a tire shop or qualified mechanic specializing in Corvette repairs to diagnose the issue. They may have specialized tools to read TPMS sensor data and identify the problem more precisely. Some shops can even reprogram the sensors if necessary.
