Tire rotations, TPMS questions

RL325xi · 02-27-2020, 10:56 PM

2012 X3 Msport with 19" Square setup.

Did a tire rotation myself. After the rotation, I set tire pressure to 32 PSI in the front and 36 PSI. then reset the TPMS thru the I-drive.

Thru the idrive screen, I see 32psi in the rear and 36 psi in the front.

Anyone know if there is a step to do to tell the system, the formal front sensors are in the rear now?

TIA

Try driving it around for a bit and it should recognize that the wheels have moved location.

Sometimes it registers after 5 to 10 miles, sometimes it takes as long as 50 miles.

Did you drive a while before you checked the readings?

I have driven the car for more than 50 miles. I will leave it like that for a while hopefully it will recognize later.

Thanks

Good ole disconnect and reconnect of the battery may solve this, should you choose not to wait.
