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.
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.
No, it doesn’t apply, older BMWs like the E90 use a different system called the flat tire monitor, where they use the ABS sensors to measure the rolling diameter of the wheels and figure out if you have a flat. It’s much less precise than TPMS, but the advantage is that you don’t need to worry about replacing TPMS sensors in the wheels because there aren’t any.
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.
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.

Thanks for insight! Good to know for the future.
That's a pretty cool tool. I'm surprised not of the scan tools have this built in!
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!
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)

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.

I've got a $10 tire gage that does the same thing. Frankly, I'm getting really tired of all this tech.
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.
