    TPMS Help Please - 2014 BMW 335I Nov 2013 Build Date

    Hello - The car: 2014 BMW 335I Nov 2013 Build Date

    I have replaced the sensors twice, once with after market and another with Discount Tire set. Neither resolved the TPMS malfunction error.


    So, I don't think it is the sensors and moved up the chain. I replaced the current antenna (see picture 1) with a used OEM unit came from the same build date.

    When I started the car, it was showing 3 wheels in green and one in orange (low pressure) warning even though all tires are having correct pressure. After resetting, the TPMS Malfunction error returned despite many drives and re-resets.

    I replaced that antenna with another used unit and now, got a warning screen showing the 4 tires are low pressure when the actual pressure are fine (see picture 2).

    What do you recommend to do next as I am afraid to reset TPMS and get the malfunction error again?

    Any input is greatly appreciated!

    Thanks

    If possible, I want to see the error codes that came from the original module (so called RDC), and then the replacement one. This would require a tool capable of reading BMW codes.

    This is before I reset TPMS. After resetting, I get the standard TPMS Malfunction message.

    Those are not error reads from a diagnostic read from the diagnostic port....


    Either way, what happens if you inflate all tires to above 35psi? Using a confirmed good gauge?

    The rear tires are currently at 38 and the front are at 35psi before I reset. After reset, I just get the TMPS Malfunction error.

    Do you think either the sensors or the RCD are malfunction?

    A diagnostic scan of the car would be the best way to get an idea at this point
