2003 CHEVROLET CORVETTE sensor

If the display doesn't show tire pressure, or if the
SERVICE TIRE MON SYS message appears see your
dealer for service. For more information, see
Tire
Pressure Monitor System (Except Z06) on page 5-57
andDriver Information Center (DIC) on page 3-44.
Tire Pressure Monitor System
(Except Z06)
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) has a sensor on each
road wheel that transmits to a receiver on the
instrument panel.
The system operates on a radio frequency subject to
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and
with Industry and Science Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.This device complies with RSS±210 of Industry and
Science Canada. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Changes or modi®cations to this system by other than
an authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
If a tire's in¯ation pressure is between 5 psi (35 kPa)
and 25 psi (170 kPa), you will see a message on
the Driver Information Center. This message will show
which tire is underin¯ated and two chimes will sound. An
example would be LOW TIRE PRESSURE-LR. This
would mean that the in¯ation pressure in your left rear
tire is between 5 psi (35 kPa) and 25 psi (170 kPa).
If the in¯ation pressure in the tire drops below
5 psi (35 kPa), the message would read FLAT TIRE-LR
and four chimes will sound. See
Driver Information
Center (DIC) on page 3-44.
The TPM will also alert you if a tire's pressure is higher
than 42 psi (290 kPa). The message will show which
tire is overin¯ated and two chimes will sound. An
example would be HIGH PRESSURE-LR. This would
mean that the in¯ation pressure in your left rear tire
is higher than 42 psi (290 kPa). See
Driver Information
Center (DIC) on page 3-44.

Tire Sealant
The kit contains a liquid sealant that when injected into
a ¯at tire, may temporarily repair nail holes or cuts
in the tread area of the tire. The tire sealant cannot
repair tire damage caused while driving on a ¯at tire or
a tire that has had a ªblow outº or a tire that has
punctures in the sidewall areas. The tire sealant solution
is a one-time use application for one tire only. Check
the tire sealant expiration date; the sealant may not be
as effective beyond the expiration date. The tire
sealant can be peeled off easily after drying.
Notice:Do not use a tire sealant if your vehicle is
equipped with Extended Mobility Tires or tire
pressure monitors. The tire sealant can damage tire
pressure monitor sensors. See ªExtended Mobility
Tiresº in the Index.
Air Compressor
The air compressor included in the tire in¯ator kit, was
designed exclusively for the Z06 Model equipped
with P295/35ZR18 and P265/40ZR17 tires. After the
sealant has been injected into the ¯at tire, use the
air compressor to in¯ate the tire to at least 26 psi
(179 kPa). Instructions for connecting and using the air
compressor are located on the air compressor.A. In¯ating Hose
B. Air Pressure GageC. ON/OFF Switch
D. Air Compressor
Plug
Notice:The car engine must be running to avoid
draining the battery while running the air
compressor.
Follow the proper steps to be sure your vehicle won't
move. See
Parking Your Vehicle (Manual Transmission)
on page 2-34.
