TPMS goes red on dash ????

[Monte Sloan Jr]

Me again, 

 

Put new tire on the Beemer. I was riding home when the caution triangle started flashing on the dash. then my TPMS came on with the front tire in red. I pulled over  and found the tire was fine , not flat or losing any air. It cleared itself and showed the tire pressure. kinda scary.

Well it did it again today, is the battery dying in the sensor ? 

 

Please help, thank you

Hi Monte,

Where do you live?

I've got half a dozen or so replacement TPMS for both RT/RS/R as well as GS/GSA rims, if you are close, I can install and program a new one.

I want to move to be closer to Brad.  Well, at least in the summer.

He would make one hell of a neighbor!!   He is also a pretty good guy.

HaHa!

Once you found out that I use my pellet smoker to make pork ribs and pulled pork about twice a week, I'd have a hard time keeping you away!

Hi Boxflyer,

 

I live in Petaluma California. So the TPMS is gone bad correct ? or does it need a new battery ? A new one needs to be programmed ? 

 

Thanks, buddy

Well, it could be, and most likely is the sending unit battery.

If you want to put some effort into the battery replacement, that "might" work...or you could just be frustrated with a waste of time.

 

My preferred approach to a malfunctioning TPMS is simply to replace it and train the RDC to accept the new serial number of the sending unit.

 

This is a little far ranging, covering somewhat more than just a Remove and Replace...but it has lots of info for you.

Hope this helps.

Cool, thank you.

Hi Boxflyer, 

 

  I have a 911 unit. How much do you want for a front and rear TPMS unit ? 

I will input the numbers manually, no problem. 

I used to live in Wagener, South Carolina. I was a buyer for Nucor Steel. 

Please let me know what you want for the 2 sensors.

 

Thank you.
