Tire Pressure Not Resetting After New Tires

sactown M · 10-19-2019, 01:48 PM

I have a 2014 435i and just got new tires put on at the shop and I can't seem to get the TPMS to reset. I've done at videos and other posts have done to reset it and then drive around for a while but it continues to stay the same. Is there some sort of sensor I needed to buy to have them put in for the new tires? thank you everyone taking a look

Which month and year exactly the car was built?

If they left the original sensors on the wheels then you don't need anything. With the engine running and the car parked go to the vehicle information screen, dial up the reset and start it. After starting it you drive until it's done. The progress should be shown on the screen.

Did they move your TPMS sensors over?

How long do the batteries last?

He said he got new tires, not new wheels. The batteries are good for perhaps 10 years, less with high mileage driving. It's a good idea to change them with the second tire replacement.

Thank you for the replies. Hang on a second, actually I did get new rims as well. They were the same exact ones from a car one year newer but I didn't think that would make a difference.

What batteries are you talking about?

The RF frequency changed on the TPMS around 3/2014 to comply with new standards, so your early build 2014 car is not compatible with the new frequency 2015 TPMS you used.

Batteries are built into the TPMS but not the source of your issue.

Interesting, the weird thing is before I did the tire and wheel swap it worked just fine...

Maybe one sensor went bad so it can’t complete the reset.

I bought a set of wheels and tires from tire rack with new sensors. All four were sending a signal but my system would not reset. Turned out two of the sensors were bad from the beginning.

If you got new rims they should move the valve stems over from the old rims which have the tpms sensors. Otherwise you will have to register the new sensors. Also the batteries may have gone bad. If the system can't see the sensors it won't report any tire pressure or it could be exhibiting weird behavior. On a side note I'm surprised they haven't come up with battery free wireless sensors which I thought had been developed that could power themselves with kenetic energy from the wheel while driving or from the wireless signal itself so you don't have to replace the sensor when the batteries go bad. Not sure if new cars have those now.

Did you see the tire pressure before the wheel swap or did you only see the green tires?

sactown M · 10-20-2019, 11:11 PM

Interesting, I'll try and call the tire shop and see if they know about this.

And before it used to have the green tires and the tire pressure and temp (coded that).

sactown M · 10-22-2019, 01:57 PM

Tomorrow I'm going back to the shop and having them swap the sensors from the car I took the rims off of. I'm assuming that will do the trick. Unless now for some reason I need new sensors.

If that doesn't do it I may just swap the rims and tires back. Never realized I would be creating any issues doing this haha
