Tire pressure monitoring is a convenient feature - when it's working properly. Too often, when the tire pressure light illuminates in your BMW, the cause has nothing to do with the pressure inside your tire. A worn tire pressure sensor is usually the culprit, sending false readings to the ECU, causing unnecessary concern to the driver. ECS offers replacements sold individually or as a set of four. After installation, simply navigate to the TPM screen to clear the light from your dash.
