How to Program TPMS Sensors on BMW

- Have you had your tire pressure sensor fail and you've been driving with the TPMS light on your dash? Have you installed aftermarket wheels and tires and your tire pressure monitoring system no longer works? Well, in this video I will show you how to program CGSULIT TS01 sensors (also works with Autel MX-Sensor) using TPMS80 programming tool. There are 4 different methods that can be used depending on your situation.
1. You can scan/activate the old sensors, copy the Sensor ID and then program it to the new sensors. Best used if old sensors will be disposed of.
2. Manually enter Sensor ID from the old sensor into the tool and then program it into the sensor. Also best used if old TPMS sensors are no longer needed.
3. Use the tool to scan the TPMS module on the vehicle and retrieve the sensor information from the car itself. Then use the sensor ID information to program new sensors. This works great on BMWs, but other cars may not store this information in the module.
4. Activate new sensors and program them with new sensor IDs. Then update the module on your BMW with the new sensor IDs. This is best if keeping 2 sets of tires and wheels as there will be no duplicates and the car won't be confused.
Whichever method you use, take your BMW or any other car you are working on for a drive after and within 10 minutes it should be fully recognized by the car's computer and your TPMS light will go off.
I installed 4 new sensors on my BMW Z4 as I have installed m437 (BMW M3, M4) wheels on the car and the sensors were not compatible with my older BMW Z4.

That's a pretty cool tool. I'm surprised not of the scan tools have this built in!
For the record, to do an OBD relearn, select "Position Relearn" instead of "TPMS Diagnose." Fortunately, your Z4 automatically relearns the new TPMS sensors while driving. So both relearn methods work either way.
Other than that, you did a good job with the CGSulit TPMS80.
Thanks for insight! Good to know for the future.
Excellent methodical presentation!! Keep it up
Always great content 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Still waiting for your tutorial on cleaning the interior back window on the z4! It is a challenge!
Does this also apply to a 2007 or 2008 E90/E92, or just newer cars with newer pms?
Yes, it will work on 2007-08 E90/E92 platform.
@@SimpleCarGuy Thanks! I am puzzled because both my Indy and Tire shop say they never registered sensors on E90/E92s. Are they wrong?
If you buy BMW sensors specific to your chassis, you don’t have to register them, just do the reset through the cars menu system.
Any advice If the old sensors aren’t an option anymore ? ( someone left my car on blocks and I had to buy a whole new set up)
Yes, that’s the option I used in this video. I got aftermarket sensors installed, activated them and then programmed the sensor IDs to the car. That’s the advantage of this scanner, you have these options.
Hi Marcoo, you can either use our TPMS80 auto-create sensor IDs into TS01 or manually input the old sensor ID(if available) into TS01. After you installed the new programmed sensors in your tires, most cars will automatically recognize the sensors after driving for a few minutes. That's pretty simple😁
@@cgsulitdiagnostics8428 The old sensor ID's can easily be pulled from the body control module by selecting "copy by OBD" if the old sensors are dead or completely absent.
@@fowvee I had the same issue. I'm using an Autel Maxi TPMS TS508 with my BMW 335D. The car was originally fitted with TPMS, however I bought it second hand about a week ago and the previous owner was using runflat tyres without the TPMS sensors installed, as such when I got it it permanently had the TPMS warning message on iDrive screen and TPMS light on the dash. I bought some aftermarket sensors and had them fitted today, I didn't need to program anything but just performed a reset on the way back from the tyre shop and the light has gone and TPMS (RDC) is showing as active in iDrive, the only issue is it shows 4 green tyres but no pressure readings and just dashes, --- where the pressure reading would normally be.
I understand that you have to drive for it to read the pressures, I did drive for about 20 minutes at about 30+ mph but it's still blank. So it seems like the sensors were programmed by the car automatically. When I try to read the original Sensor ID from the ECU in the car it fails to read them.
I wonder if it's just a case of putting a bit of air in the tyres and going on a long drive.
@@thefiestaguy8831 The car won't/can't program a sensor. By programming I mean assigning a serial number to the specific year/make/model of vehicle. Once the serial number is created by a programming tool you then must write the serial number to the body control module. It sounds far more complicated than it actually is but if you auto-create new serial numbers for the new sensors then you need to write those new serial numbers to the cars BCM, otherwise it won't recognize them. If you know the previous serial numbers that were initially assigned to the car (either by cloning an old sensor or reading the data from the BCM) then you simply write the data to a new programmable universal sensor and the vehicle will recognize them and do the rest. Autel MX 1-sensor or CGSulit TS01 sensors are easily programmable and both the TPMS80 or TS508 tools can update the BCM via the cars diagnostic port.
I've got a $10 tire gage that does the same thing. Frankly, I'm getting really tired of all this tech.
Just curious. What's the correct inflation pressure? Mine isn't on a runflat, so should i follow the sticker from BMW?
Noob asking, just got my Z4 😁
P/s: Just noticed you put 36psi in the vid. For all 4 tyres?
I run a staggered set up with M4 wheels (not runflats either), so I do 36psi in the front and 44psi in the back. This set up is closest to the 19in wheels that came on some trims so it makes the most sense to me.
@@SimpleCarGuy noted. Will try this on mine and see how it goes. Keep up on the informative vids!👍🏼
does it work on a bmw 428i x drive? 2016
Yes, it does
Pro Tip: to program an installed sensor without letting the air out of the tire you put the tool into "setup" mode, scroll down to number 10 - TPS Prog Limit - and change the default setting from "on" to "OFF". This removes the pressure restriction for programming.
Great tip! Thanks. I saw that message when I tried doing it without inflating (off camera) and I figured it would safer to do so when tires are at lower pressure. Wonder why the limitation.
Is that a real store? Chase flagged it as chinese fraudulent site when trying to order...
This isn’t programming but more like cloning.
How so? I’d say that cloning is when you have the old ones and clone them to the new ones.
