FAQs
Why is my BMW low tire pressure light on but tires are fine?
If your BMW's low tire pressure light is on, but the tires appear fine, it could be due to a malfunctioning TPMS sensor. TPMS sensors can fail over time, often due to battery depletion or sensor damage. When this occurs, the sensor may need to be replaced to ensure accurate tire pressure monitoring.
How long do BMW tire pressure monitor sensors last?
The lithium-ion batteries in BMW TPMS sensors typically last between 5 to 10 years. The lifespan can vary based on factors such as the number of radio frequency transmissions the sensors make. Regular inspection and timely replacement of TPMS sensors are recommended to maintain optimal performance.
How do I know if my TPMS sensor is bad?
Signs of a faulty TPMS sensor include the absence of a low-pressure warning when tires are underinflated and a persistent TPMS warning light on the dashboard. Using a tire pressure gauge can help confirm whether the issue lies with the sensor or the tire itself. If the sensor is faulty, it should be replaced promptly to ensure accurate tire pressure monitoring.
Can you drive with a faulty tire pressure sensor?
It is not recommended to drive with a faulty TPMS sensor. A functional TPMS is crucial for alerting drivers to underinflated tires, which can be a safety hazard. Driving with underinflated tires can lead to poor handling, increased tire wear, and the risk of tire blowouts. Ensuring your TPMS sensors are in good working condition is essential for safe driving.
Are TPMS sensors easy to replace?
Replacing TPMS sensors is a straightforward task that can be done with basic tools. The process typically involves removing the tire, replacing the sensor, and reprogramming the system if necessary. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions or seek assistance from our ASE-certified technicians to ensure proper installation and functionality.
