Service Symbol

So today I noticed I got a tire pressure symbol pop up on my dash and it looks like this:



I was assuming it was because my tire pressure was low (which it was) so I filled it up and the sign still remains...any ideas on what it could be? Hoping its not my sensors..

Thanks for viewing

if your profile is accurate and you have an 06 330i, then you don't have TPMS sensors in the wheel, your car uses the ABS wheel speed sensors to determine a flat tire (it will roll at a different rate than the other 3).

2 real options.
1. double check tire pressure, then reset the system thru the menu. make sure you get the checkmark and then drive a couple miles, see the manual for full procedure.

2. abs sensor is f-ed, which i doubt because the DSC and ABS would be freaking out right about now.

Did you reset after filling up with air? If not the sign will remain

make sure to check pressures on all tires, and bring 'em up to spec. the sensors only trip when the tire is really out of pressure (6 psi low or so).

edit: here's a copy of the manual for you!
