BMW F10 528I TPMS Malfunctions repair (550$)

Quick video on how to diagnose and repair the TPMS malfunction light on newer BMWs, the car I'm working on is a 2013 528i Xdrive but this method will work on most BMWs with similar systems. coding will require an app and the RDC transmitter will need to be purchased directly from the dealer unless you can find it online.

there is a fix for these, if you can split the old one, with a knife, there usually is water inside and if you clean the contacts on the chip and resolder, it will work

[@lukefirewalker]

Comprehensive and useful video. Thanks for sharing

[@ZOHAN1989]

You're welcome 😀

[@2FTermination]

Thanks for the video! Same issue on an F33 2014

[@ZOHAN1989]

You're welcome 😀

I had the same problem on my 2013 535i . took it to discount tire and it happen to be one of my sensor is bad. Cost me only $62 to fix it. Always go to the tire shop first

[@duraiddlimi9032]

Thanks for the info, what fault codes do you have?

[@ZOHAN1989]

You're welcome, I don't think there was an exact code when I scanned it, it did mention the TPMS module fault though.

[@alynlewis3698]

Thanks for sharing. How did you know it was a RDC module failure rather than the TPMS sensors?

[@ZOHAN1989]

I used a scanner to check the TPMS sensors on the wheels and when I found out they were all OK I knew it was the module.

[@Troymatti]

​@ZOHAN1989 what scanner reads the tpm sensors.

[@hassanger8128]

How much the adapter?
Is the mobile app free?

[@vlads1624]

Could you please share a link for scan tool that you are using as well a link for an app that you are using for reprogramming

[@ZOHAN1989]

www.bimmergeeks.net/product-page/bimmergeeks-protool-bluetooth-adapter This was the dongle I used to program it. There's an app that you can download to pair and do the coding.

RDC Ausgefallen

[@briandonaldson612stringgui8]

I see that your TPMS reports temperature. My 2016 F10 does not. Could this be part of the new RDC or possibly the code? Curious. Thanks

[@ZOHAN1989]

That was done through coding.

[@irishnite41]

Code. You can add it

[@Eldomibori]

I have a 2012 535i xDrive. The warning will not shut up. After I press “Ok” it keeps warning me over and over. Incredibly annoying.

[@Iluvserotonin]

any reason why my light comes on like that flashes and just goes away and will sometimes stay away for a while but then randomly come back and flash then go away for longer periods of time

[@ABWSKITCHEN]

It is an electric issue, sometimes the connectors are rusted or the inside of the transponder is rusted and that brings to an intermittent problem, best way is to replace it, take it to a shop to code the new one, and then cover it with electric tape to make sure this doesn't happen any time soon.

[@Troymatti]

So there's a genuine $300 and probably aftermarket about $150
Any idea

[@RandyTrombly]

I has a 2013 328 and just replaced the part. No programming required for me. Not sure if that's typical.

[@VasilisaPavlova-eb4tb]

can u please help me locate where the module is? I have the same car and same issue - did you do it yourself?

[@RandyTrombly]

@@VasilisaPavlova-eb4tb Yes, I did it myself. The RDC is located under the vehicle. About where the rear seat is.

[@VasilisaPavlova-eb4tb]

@@RandyTrombly Thank you! I will try to find it today. Did you get a brand-new module or used one?

[@JesusMoreno-ti5cl]

Does this make the check engine light come on ?

[@ABWSKITCHEN]

Not the check engine, but the Tpms will blink and stay on.

[@Trumpito2024]

Can a used rdc module be reprogrammed?

[@ABWSKITCHEN]

Yes

[@jameskelly9510]

What do you use for scan tool
