All of my tire pressure monitors are working correctly except the front right. I have the dreaded "SERVICE TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM" message. I've read around about how to reset them without the tool but my question is first of all am i wasting my time? Am i receiving that message because the sensor inside the tire is bad? Or should i try this reset method to try to sync them again?
I found these instructions but can i just do the front right one that is not working or should i do them all? Thanks guys

Service Tire Monitor Reset
This will also work for 2005 Chev Tahoe please follow these steps:
1) set park brakes
2) turn ignition to on, but not running
3) turn light switch to off then to lights on four times quickly all in a row
you should hear the horn beep two times, if so go to next step.
4) with ignition still on go out to each tire and let out the air quickly until
you hear the horn beep once. This should happen with each tire.
5) after horn beeps for all the tires turn the ignition off
6) inflate tires to recommended tire pressure
7) complete head ache gone

Personally, I rarely bother to check my pressure based on the TMS. I actually use a tire pressure gauge at least once a week.
