TPS reset tool in Austin

05-29-2007, 02:43 PM

Does anyone have a TPS tool in the Austin area who could help me reset one of wheels? I would rather not take my car to a dealer and risk mod/warranty issues over something simple like this.

Aus-Tex tires at 9602 N. IH 35. 821-3661, Pretty sure you will have to re-set all 4 though.
To start as most places will not know.

With vette off, switch to accessory mode. Using the POD, hold both the unlock and lock button down at the same time until you get a horn. Then start with the left ft holding the tool beside the side wall at the sensor position, it will beep (horn) once when finished, go to the rt ft, same thing, rt rear, same thing, left rear same thing but it will beep twice (horn) when finished to show all set.

I've got one if you wanted to drive down to Schertz one day...maybe on a Friday night and you can come hang out with us at Biff's. Kinda of a long way to drive just to reset the tires but alot of us do get together at Biff's every Friday evening (that would be worth the drive)

Any Discount Tire Store should have one.

You can get it off ebay for 35 bucks with instructions. I really think it is just a magnet. I got one but I'm near Dallas.

If it's the same tool used on the C-5's, I've got one. Swing on by. Phone # is in my profile. Gary

You can't use a magnet like you can on the C5's unfort. I haven't seen one on ebay for $35...I actually payed a bit more for a used one.

Discount tire was not able to reset them, but I don't think the guy know how to to get the car into a learn mode.

I'll be at Biff's this Fri if you happen to come down to SA...I'll keep it in my car just in case.
