yes...the ZL1 sensors and ZL1 1LE are the same. Fifth gen sesnors will not work. The ones I listed work and this is confirmed. You do need the reset tool just like the 5th gen. The orange electronics unit works fine.

I'm glad this thread has been re-opened. I'm the OP and I have a story to share...

When my older wheels/tires with the older TMPS sensors in them didn't work, I didn't think it was a big deal. Shortly after I created the post I had three track days all pretty close to one another. The third day was up at Palmer which is about 2 hours from my home. I drove out, spent the night at a hotel and the next morning went on-track. It was raining lightly during the first session so speed were kept down. By the second session it was getting nice out and we started to turn up the wick a bit. About mid-way through the session, my car just felt all kinds of wrong. Without TPMS working I had no idea that I had a flat tire. Luckily, I came around the last corner before the straight and at the last minute I decided to pull off and take a look. Thank goodness I did because by the time I got to the end of the pit wall I was nearly riding on the rim.

I've since purchased new TPMS sensors because I was lucky this time and I felt the issue but had the sensors been working, I would have KNOWN there was a problem well before I could feel it.

Evidently the Orange GM TPS reset tool does not work on 17 and 18 cars.

It works on mine. This sounds silly, but how are you using it? When I first got it I didn’t know, and I thought it was broken.

We have 2 of them neither would work on a 17 and 18 car in the same day with 2 techs that are very familiar with there use.

This thread seems to be the same problem that is why I chimed in.

I had a 2010 2SS and it didn't need a tool at all. Just dropped the pressure to put it in learn mode. Must have "improved" things with the 5th Gen refresh and later models. For track tires, I just left the TPMS out but that probably wasn't very smart.

sorry, this is incorrect. Mine works fine for the '17 & '18 ZL1. I swap back and forth between stock wheels and road course wheels constantly.

I put my summer tires on a few weekends ago and from that I figured out that the orange TPMS reset tool I have is directional. I have to aim the antenna at the TPMS sensor through the tire sidewall. When I do that, it works great. When I just point it in random directions or hold it close to the tire, it doesn't work. Somehow I made the damn thing work when I put the winter tires/wheels on, but after several tries I finally got it to work and I didn't know what the magic trick was. Now I know. Aim the antenna at the sensor.

The instructions on mine actually tells me I have to hold it against the tire wall at the sensor location.
