Resetting the Tire Pressure Monitoring System transmitters on a C5 (1997-2004) Chevy Corvette using nothing but a magnet and your own wits - It's easy and fun! If you can't find a ring magnet locally, here's an inexpensive suggestion from Amazon.com: http://amzn.to/1IV2FEw
If you have a C6 or later Corvette, the ring magnet trick won't work and it requires a special electronic tool to trigger the reset. Fortunately, basic tools aren't too expensive at about $10-$15.
Here's a link on Amazon for what you'll need: https://amzn.to/2VLaUhi
It's also worth noting that even the newest C5 Corvettes are approaching 20 years old, and the batteries in the TPMS modules in each wheel are well past the end of their designed service life. If you have one or more wheels that won't program using this technique, it's very likely that the transmitter in those wheels has a dead battery, and there's no easy way to replace the battery short of swapping in a whole new transmitter. If that turns out to be the case for you, may I suggest you start your Amazon search for replacements here: https://amzn.to/3bI7eV5
