low tire when tire is actually good

OneSickM · 07-19-2018, 10:21 AM

Yesterday I started the car and message came to my CCC I-drive screen saying I have low/flat tire when actually my tire was in great condition. I had to reset the TPMS to get rid of the message but I am sure this will come again later

Anyone faced the same issue and how did you resolve it permanently?

When you say great condition, does that mean you checked the pressure?

You located in Canada? Canadian M3 don't have TPMS, instead ABS sensors are used to detect differences in tire rotations. Happened to me once on the highway where the low tire pressure light came on. I pulled over and checked all the tire pressure. Turned out one tire was slightly under. I just reset the system and kept driving till I got to a gas station.
