Just spent a good deal of time reading of other TPMS problems. Many of a (kinda) similar nature either by mfg of the TPMS or the results.
With a request for forgiveness if this is all redundant here goes.
About 6 months ago I replaced the factory wheels on my 03 Z06 with OEM 2004 ZR1 factory wheels. I choose to add the TPMS units and have the computer flashed. I used sensors made by Orange Electronics. I have the local Chebby dealership do the installs and flash the computer and awaken the sensors. Thay did so and all the system functioned just fine on all four wheels, untill a couple of days ago.
For the first time I had the oppurtunity to take my Z up state and run some higher speeds. Again at this point in time all TPMS units are showing a very nice 30PSI per wheel.
While traveling a back road I was able to speed up to the 120 mark a couple of times. Just speed up and slow down, no standing starts or serious brakeing.
A few minutes later I look down and see the "serv tire mon. system" message. I scroll through the DIC and both rear sensors show xxx (front both read normally, at the moment).
A short time later after clearing the first message it pops up again but now all four sensors are showing the dreaded xxx.
Tires were checked and all are fine on air pressure.
Vehicle shows no codes and the sensors do not re-learn (they wont make the horn beep as learned even with the round GM magnet used as per procedure.)
I talked to Company I purchased the sensors from and they verified that they are correct for my Vette but have no instant answers.
Tomorrow I will find a place with an A-Tech or Bar Tech scanner to check if they are trying to function and then go from there.
My question is why the total failure over a short time and of course why? Any ideas guys?:WTF
