TPMS Over-sensitivity... Can't reset.

DrDomer · 04-14-2007, 10:49 AM

I've got an E92 335i with sport suspension and stock wheels. I had my winter wheels on since I took delivery. The stock wheels and tires with TPMS as they came on car were put back on. Initially the dealership had overfilled the tires which caused the TPMS light to come on. I bled the tires down to 32 in the front and 35 in the back. Reset the TPMS, and all was good. Over last two weeks it got colder again. TPMS came back on (small yellow and big red), indicating a flat tire. I rechecked all pressures and reset TPMS, but light won't go off. Any clue how to get it to go off without going back to dealer. I have to get this resolved as I have the Procede coming on Monday, and will go to the dealer before I get the Procede installed if I need to. Thanks.

I'm stupid. When you reset the TPMS you should push in the button on the stalk once and you'll get a check. Then you hold it in while a little clock goes round and round till it resets. I guess I never fully understood this, and must have done it accidentally in the past. I answered my own question.
