Code out FTM

mwalter14 · 01-30-2024, 11:26 PM

Is there a way to code off the Flat Tire Warning system?

My f80 thinks I have low tire pressure, but of course I do not. Quite persistent warnings in iDrive that dont stop. I cant reset monitor as that option is greyed out.

Do you have TPMS sensors?

Your TPMS sensors in your wheels probably need to be replaced. Try that first.

I have a canadian F80 (2016) so it did not come with TPMS in the wheels.

Problem started when I switched over to my winter set. I thought perhaps the previous owner coded the DSC to read TPMS that he may of added into his aftermarket summer set, since they have metal stems, so I also then added TPMS into my winter set to hopefully solve the issue, but problem still exists. No luck with bimmerlink.

I dont care if the car reads TPMS data, I just want to disable the FTM gong and warning, it is super invasive. Confirmed no flat tires or low pressure.

Any other ideas guys?

Confirmed Canadian F80 did not come with TPMS
FTM problem only
Wheel sensors confirmed working.

Could it be a random computer gremlin? Any ideas for shutting FTM off completely at the very least?
