Is it possible that TPMS market has an incidence on a Canadian car becuause it uses the ABS/DSC wheel speed sensors to determine if a tire is low? Could Euro MDM have an impact on the FTM calibration?
aboulfad, when you get your false alarms, were you in MDM?

Anyway, pure speculation on my part. I am a total layman regarding these things

BTW, do you use Rheingold? Have you ever checked your car for faults?

Yes, it is free and it is the kind of software tool that I think you will really like (that's why I asked ). I will send you a PM in a few minutes.

That's because BMW cannot spell "tire".
In any case, what BMW calls "Tyre Pressure Monitor" (RDC) is the US system. What you have is the "Run Flat Indicator" (RPA).

UPDATE: so took the car in to the dealer to have it checked. The irony of things, when the SA was driving it to the shop he got the FTM malfunction.
As far as for the false tire alarms, they sent a message to BMW technical services whom asked them to visually inspect tires/wheels as well measure circumference, ... and send back a report of the data. Last edited by aboulfad; 10-10-2015 at 07:06 AM.. |

The next course of action from BMW was to take the car on a road test to collect sensor data. I requested that I drive the car during the road test but the dealer didn't accept so I refused to proceed.

Almost one year later, seven times I got the false yellow "low tire" warning, 5 trips to two different dealers, two full Istep updates and nothing... It is so disappointing that BMW dealers when faced with intermittent problems have no clue what to do
Even though everytime that I get this alarm, I know it's false, but as you are driving and decide NOT to stop and check the tires, it is always in the back of my head, could it be this time a low tire! So I stop and check, only to find out the tires are all within +- 0.5psi When this happens, a check control message 63, DSC, Loss Of Tyre pressure is recorded in the check control message history and the keyfob. |

I also get them too often to my taste...
Funny that there is a piece of road close to where I live where it happens almost systematically around the same spot. It's one of those long curves with a limit of 70kph that I take at about 80-85kph. The plane of the curve is inclined in the wrong direction if that make sense. |

Mine happen at random places and speeds. I am going to pass by quick so they scan the car and open a PUMA case.

I recently had a flat tire but noticed the flat before the TPMS did. I was in town I made a right hander at a light and the back end felt a little weird and a few blocks down I knew the tire was going flat but the TPMS wasn't reporting anything.
I pulled over and sure enough it was almost flat and just as I stopped the warning came on. I pumped it up with the sealant and dropped it off at the dealer for repair. I asked why the TPMS didn't detect it until I stopped and apparently it takes a while to detect and it detects based on rotational speed differential of the wheels, not the pressure. Some of you get false warnings and I didn't get any warning. Seems like a robust system. JJ Last edited by Doublej; 08-11-2016 at 03:15 PM.. |

Wow, that's worse! Good thing you caught it. They should do away with this stupid system and install sensors just like in the US...
