[QUOTE="Area Z51, post: 241582, member: 355"] I purchased one of the cheap relearn tools many years ago, and despite thinking that I may not use it that much, boy was I wrong. I purchased new wheels and tires, along with new sensors and had the tires, sensors mounted at a Tire shop while my car was still in winter hibernation. I used the relearn tool to program the sensors tonthe correct position when I mounted the wheels on the C6. It seems each Spring, I seem to hav one sensor that wil not read after sitting over the winter. It happened again few days ago when I moved my car from it's tucked in position in my garage. One rear sensor was showing nothing, and if course it gave me the usual alarms of reduced speed etc. Since the sensors are only 5 years old, I was hoping that they just need a reprogram. I tried with the tool, but that one sensor would not detect. I was hoping that just maybe, the sensor had gone into a sleep mode, so I reduced the tire pressure to 15 psi, raised it to 40, then back to 30 psi. I tried the relearn, and sure enough, the reprogram tool picked up the sensor and reset it. That is why these do come in very handy, just for these occasions, although rare, and they work as expected. [/QUOTE]
