I'd also like to know how to do this until I come up with the 200 bucks to put new sensors in my rims.

Atleast the GM system tells you which tire is low, My parents Toyota just says tire pressure low, does not tell you which one. I checked all 4 tires and it was fine. It took 3 weeks of research and thinking till i figured out it was the full sized spare that was low!!

These are the ones that I put into my winter wheels/tires. They have been working great so for.

Orange Electronic SC4101 Orange Electronic OE Replacement TPMS Sensors

Jegs had the lowest price one any of the sensors. All of the GM ones were starting at 40 before shipping. Then shipping was about 12 each.

On my 2004 Jeep liberty the tire displays everything backwards. If it says front right tire low, it actually means back left.
