TPM Malfunction / tire problems
I had TPM malfunction problem yesterday and the car (335xi CP) only has 225 miles on it.
I check the tire pressure in the 4 tires and the pressure was fine. I took it to the dealer this morning and they wanted me to reset it in the morning when the tires are cold. The light still comes on for like 3 min and then disappears ...does any one know if there are known problems with the TPM system. Thanks |

Alert. It may also be a bad part. Don;'t assume it's always low tire presure and visit your dealer with the complaint. Document when it happens and what the conditions are. I suspect it's a known issue.
My TPMS in a Jue 14 2007 build 335i malfunctioned the day I got the car. It did it every week or two even with tire pressure fanatically checked. I took it to the dealer who immediately knew to look for a defective receiver (not defective senders in the wheels). They replaced it under warranty and now everything is fine unless I actually have low pressure. It IS sensitive. If I wash the car on a cold day, the cold water can lower the pressure enough to require a reset even though the tire is not actually low when parked, cold -- but dry.
