Default What's up with TPMS? I'm totally blind - hopeless!!!

The day before - all 5 wheels TPMS are registered and displayed beautifully on MMI - Replaced 2 front wheels without TPMS and the MMI still displayed 5 tires - OK - select replace wheel - None registered - Then the TPMS malfunction light came up. Guess what, I didn't want to turn off the wonderful TPMS system - I select store the current tire pressure (with nothing registered) and the darn "TPMS warning is gone" - what a joke!!!! Drove all this morning with no wheels registered and nothing came up.




Cheers,

Louis

It looks like you just found the way to get rid of that warning sign without switching the system off.

When you put on all four working sensors, punch Change Wheels (Tires) and drive for about 20 minutes system will come on again.

Just wait, it will be back in a day or two. I have separate wheels with snow tires. Can reset and late it will come back.

If I ever see that sign pops up, I'll disable the system.

Cheers,

Just simply disable the system like I did before, at least until you get the new wheels.

Hello Jake,
Did purchase the correct frequency, 315 MHz or 433 MHz to match your vehicle ?
Have look at link below to be sure.
