So my dic keeps saying low tire pressure but when i checked them they were all good, is there a way to tell which one is bad and how expensive are they to replace ?

Have you rotated your tires lately? ..Or replaced any or all?
If so, you can't just hit RESET on the DIC... You have to reset (calibrate) the system.
From the 2001 Owner's Manual;
To reset (calibrate) the system:
1. Turn the ignition switch to RUN. 2. Press the SELECT right arrow button on the DIC until you enter the GAGE mode. Then press the SELECT down arrow until TIRE PRESSURE appears on the display. 3. Press and hold the DIC RESET button for about five seconds. After five seconds, the display will show TIRE PRESSURE RESET. If TIRE PRESSURE RESET does not appear on the display after about five seconds, see your dealer for service. After you release the DIC RESET button, TIRE PRESSURE NORMAL will appear on the display.

No problem!
It stumped me too when we first got the car. Throw in a leaky chrome rim at the time and I thought I'd never figure it out, haha...

That's right a computer should reprogram the sensor, and it's recommended to do so every time you switch tires on your wheels. TPMS are not really expensive as there are many compatible aftermarket sensors that reprogram to your computer in a matter of minutes

There are no TPMS sensors...
The Aurora uses indirect TPMS. The ABS wheel speed sensors are used to detect a low pressure tire by comparing relative wheel speeds. A low pressure tire will have a slightly smaller diameter and spin faster than the others.
