Having an issue with my TPMS registering the tire pressure on my Mini Cooper Type S. Seems like the module is defective since its not getting any reading from any tires. Everything was working fin e the past year and last week, It advised me that there was an issue with the reading and to reset the tpms. I tired resetting the tpms a few times and nothing changed. I tried searching for the module/antenna but the only one I found, from reading some other post, was the one in the rear bumper, which seems to be an antenna for comfort. Has anyone had this issue? Can someone direct me to where the control module is for the TPMS and the antenna? I highly doubt all 4 tires at the same time became defective so I'm assuming switching out the module or antenna will correct the issue. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link. So is the tire pressure indicator feature integrated to the dynamic stability control? So to replace the tire pressure indicator, this piece would need to be replaced? Do I need to remove the bumper to get to this piece or can I remove the trunk panels on the right side to get to it?

It specifies the remote control receiver is connected to the Body domain controller, via the can bus. Where would that be? Is there a way to determine/test if the remote control receiver is the issue vs the tire pressure indicator? Thanks again for your help. Car has 14k miles and didn't think these issues would pop up this soon.

 

The newtis site should have answers for you. I am not familiar enough with it to help diagnose. Are you out of warranty?

 

Unfortunately I am. It’s 2015.

 

The only other thing I'd check is if your main car battery is in good condition. Sometimes a failing battery will cause failure on other components as an early warning sign.

 

Any other ideas of what it can be or if maybe there was a TSB on this issue?

It shows there is also a remote control receiver

 

Thanks for the reply. Minnie actually sent me this originally. The document doesn’t specify where the remote receiver is, just talks about it. I believe to have found the module, just can’t seem to locate the antenna.

 

I would expect it to be close to the BDC in 1 of the footwell kick panels

 

The reciever from newtis link is located on the right side just down the C-pillar behind trim (at least on F55). Fuse #42 on BDC powers it up but if there is no power to aerial then whole central locking/TPMS/car starting won't work - need to put key next to steering column to start it.
It's just simple aerial for TPSM and key fob to operate central lock. If central lock works fine I'd run diagnostics on car.
