New tires throwing indicators!!?

JkingV · 06-08-2014, 10:01 PM

Hey everyone I recently got some yokohamas put on my rear and as I was driving away I noticed that I had a low tire indicator on the passenger back left and also a tpms code. I called Americas Tire (where they were put on) and they said that it would be like that for 10-15 min of driving due to resetting the BMW codes. Its been around 4 days since they have been put on and the indicators are still showing. Does anyone know the problem? Should I go back and have them fix it? or am I worried about nothing?

Did you have your TPMS sensors replaced? Or did you keep original?

The sensors changed design, so if they put the newer part number in, it may not work with your older model (you have an '08 in your sig).

Or if you kept the original, they could have broken a sensor changing your tires (if you did not buy their re-build kit).

I did nothing myself, i bought tires there and they installed them there aswell. My car is an 08, they said the indicator shouldve disappeared after 15 min of driving

It's in the owners manual I believe. I don't know the procedure for it exactly because for the Canadian cars it's different. All we have to do is push reset on the cluster haha. For the tpms cars, it's slightly different.
