Tire Pressure Signal ON after changing wheels
Folks,
I changed the stock wheels of my BMW 328i Sedan 2008 Model (e90) with bigger wheels taken out of a 335i. My Original wheel size was 16''. The new wheels are 18''. The new wheels were installed with the TPMS which came with it. Now after riding for a couple of miles, the Tire Pressure Signal has turned ON and it is not going away. I tried to reset it couple of times. The Reset was successful but the signal is still ON. So I far I would have driven some 25 miles with the new wheels. Should I take out the TPMS from the old wheels and put on the new wheels? Will this solve issue? Old Wheel Size : 16" BMW 328i 205/55/16 New Wheel Size: 18" BMW 335i 225/45/18 Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks Joe |

I do not know to much when it comes to TPMS's, but I think there is a difference between LCI and Non-LCI TPSM's. What year vehicle did the TPMS come off of on your new wheels?

I think this might do the trick. The TPMS in the new wheels is probably not recognized by the system in your car. I know they changed at some point. 2009 maybe?

As stated above, BMW changed the frequency of the TPMS sending units sometime late 2009 - newer TPMS will not be recognized by your older receivers...

Thanks all. I swapped the TPMS and everything looks good. No More Tire Pressure Signal issues.
The tire shop charged me 120$ to take out the TPMS from the old wheels and install in the new wheels. Kind of expensive though. |
