Здравствуйте.
Индикатор Flat tire сообщает о повреждении колес.Проверьте,нет ли каких либо на них повреждений.Так же стоит обратить внимание на давление в шинах.Если оно отличается от нормы,то данный индикатор так же будет гореть.Если все в норме,скорее всего произошел сбой в компьютере или проблема в работе данного датчика.Перед тем как загорелся данный индикатор Вы резину или диски не меняли?

How To Reset BMW M6 FTM Flat Tire Pressure Monitor Light (E64 F12) – The BMW M6 is a BMW brand car introduced in January 2005 as a fast version of the BMW 6 Series. A convertible version is also available.
As in the BMW M5, the Bavarian company installed the S85, a 5.0-liter V10 block producing 507 hp and 520 Nm. BMW has chosen to make the roof of the M6 out of carbon fiber to save weight, just like the BMW M3 CSL.
How To Reset BMW M6 FTM Flat Tire Pressure Monitor Light (E64 F12)
Each time a tire pressure has been adjusted or change the tire, you need to reset the Flat Tire Monitor (FTM). Depending on your vehicle model, here are a few ways to reset the FTM on BMW M6:
2005-2010 Models (E63 E64)
There are 2 ways to perform FTM reset on this older generation (2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010). Depending on your vehicle trim level, here’s how to do it:

I had this too on Friday. My tire pressure was low. I adjusted the tire pressure and reset the TPM and all is good. Hope this is your case. __________________ If you will be purchasing ANY AT&T services online or in store could you mention that you were referred by me? My Employee Referral ID is eo4489.

RTFM! It’s that little collection of paper-back books you got when the car was delivered. Usually located in a leather-like folder in the trunk somewhere. Hint: you do it with the clicker on the turn signal stalk. But read how, first, otherwise you will drive yourself crazy. |

OP, did you just change wheels or swapped tires ? When I changed my wheels, about 20km after that this symbol showed up. If that’s the case you need to tell the car by resetting the sensor. Perform the check procedure and when you get to this icon, keep the same button that you used to scrol trough the menu pressed for 10s or so and it will reset it. You will get a check box on the far buttom right of the icon. If you get it again you have a leak in the tire. I assume you don’t have TPMS so this sensor looks at the height of the whole wheel / suspension assemby and as soon as it sees a difference it triggers this error. Let us know __________________

You have an ’06 with has FTM, not TPMS. For an ’06 E90 without I-Drive: 1. Inflate all tires to correct pressure specifications. |

i have had the same issue….i found a leak around the bead on one of the tires..needed to sand some of the finish off of the inside of the wheel…this was caused by running the tires while the low pressure light was on….so for future reference if your low pressure light is on i would def figure it out….also sometimes the pressure guage in the tires go bad or need to be reset |

Can’t get to the Init for TPM Resurrecting the thread… For some reason (probably user error), I can’t get to the Init on the TPM.
Well, I haven’t gotten there yet, after about a month of pressing the up and down on that thing. I have made a video of me attempting to reset it, and please look at it and tell me what I’m doing wrong. https://youtu.be/Tu1PjIdSB34
Are the tires inflated? Yes. The fronts are at 29psi, and the rears at 35, per the marking on the driver’s door jamb. There was a flat on the left rear tire that was repaired, and the shop couldn’t get the flat tire to clear using ODB-II techniques. |
Why, yes, I have read the thread, and have tried what has been repeated from the manual.|

I�m one of those RTFM types, and my FM doesn�t have clear instructions that work. Still a Bimmer noob; i�ve Not much experience in these matters. However, I have changed out the rear windowregister and the water pump; this one has me stumped. |

It would be helpful to know what year your car is, and what country you’re in…these things don’t show on mobile devices. From your video, it looks like you’ve got CCC iDrive, so maybe try this… |
Is the Tire Pressure Warning Light illuminating on your BMW? Learn how to fix the problem by following the procedures shown below. BMW tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS, TPM, FTM) is designed to alert the driver when tire pressure is too low. The tire pressure warning light illuminates when air pressure is 20% below the recommended pressure; ensure the tires are inflated to the correct pressure to reset the TPMS light.
When a BMW detects a flat tire, the TPM or TPMS light (yellow tire symbol with exclamation mark) and a warning message on the Drive Display, an audible sound warns the driver of low tire pressure. If the TPM or TPMS light flashes, it means there is a malfunction with the tire monitoring system.
A BMW Tire Pressure Monitoring System detects a 20% tire pressure loss, and triggers a TPM warning to alert the driver. On a BMW, this system may also be called Flat Tire Monitor or FTM. If the tire pressure is correct, you may be getting a TPM malfunction or inactive errors because:
- TPMS sensor is defective
- RDC module is faulty
- External interference
What to do?
If you are getting a tire pressure warning message, you first need to pull over and ensure you do not have a flat tire. If pressure loss is minimal, visit the nearest gas station and use the air compressor to add air to your tires.
Inflate all the tires to the recommended air pressure. You can find the recommended tire pressure on the tire pressure label that can be found on the driver’s door frame or behind the gas cap. The typical BMW tire pressure is 32-36 PSI. Low-profile tires may require up to 45 PSI.
Reset BMW TPM warning
The next step is to reset the TPM warning.
- Inflate the tires to the recommended tire pressure. Typically 36 PSI.
- Press the iDrive knob to select vehicle settings.
- Scroll down to Vehicle Tires using the iDrive knob.
- Rotate the iDrive knob to select the TPM menu.
- Select Reset, then press the iDrive knob.
- Select YES. The status should change to Resetting TPM.
- After a short drive, the Status should change to TPM Active.
Because of various transportation acts, a TPM system is mandatory for all new cars sold in the United States after September 2007. So, all BMW cars from 2008 have a TPM system installed from the factory, regardless of the model and equipment level.
How does BMW TPM work?
The TPM has pressure sensors in each wheel, and a control unit ( also known as RDC, TPM, TPMS receiver) is installed in the vehicle. This system monitors tire pressure and warns the driver if the pressure is too low. Proper tire pressure (typically 32-36 psi) will ensure the best performance, fuel economy, and extended tire life.
Common Problems
If the TPM, TPMS, or FTM light are flashing on a BMW, the tire monitoring system has been disabled due to one of the following problems:
Defective RDC Transmitter
With generation 1 or 2 TPM systems, older BMW models have a sensor within the tire and a transmitter in each wheel well, hidden behind the underlined. Transmitters pick up the sensor signal and send it to the central control unit. In most cases, a transmitter can go bad, causing a communication breakdown. It is also possible for a reception antenna in the control unit to fail.
Water Damage
Newer BMW models, equipped with generation 3 or later TPM systems, use a more simplified system. With no wheel transmitters, wheel sensors combined with a single control unit with an integrated antenna are the only components. Depending on the model year, the control unit is mounted on the chassis, which exposes the elements. As a result, moisture enters the casing, causing corrosion on sensitive electronic components. Although sealed, the control unit can be opened with little effort. Clean any traces of corrosion, which are green in most cases.
BMW tire pressure module (A85a) may be installed under the spare tire or the dashboard on the driver’s side. A common problem with the BMW tire pressure system is when the RDC module is installed under the spare tire on the trunk floor. Water can build up under the spare tire, which damages the module or causes corrosion to the contacts.
TPM Fuse
Lastly, check the TPM fuse, as it can burn if the control unit shorts out. In most models, this fuse is located in the junction box behind the glove compartment.
TPM Sensor Battery
Within each tire, a sensor gives information about the air pressure. They have a lithium-ion battery, which drains out with time. In most cases, OEM batteries can last up to ten years. Another possibility is mechanical damage, which can happen during tire fitment. Most tire shops have wireless readers to verify if the sensor emits the signal.
Possible Error Messages
- Tire Pressure Monitor TPM for the detection of flat tires is currently unavailable. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with the nearest BMW.
- TPM Status: TPM Malfunction
- Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) malfunction:
- System unable to detect tire pressure loss
- Check tire pressure manually.
- Continued driving is possible.
- Consult service center
- Tire Pressure Monitoring malfunction: Drive moderately. The system is unable to detect tire pressure loss. Consult service center.
- TPM Inactive warning light on the dashboard.
- Tire pressure monitor reset: System inactive and unable to detect pressure loss for up to 12 minutes. Reset only occurs while driving.
- Low tire pressure. Stop carefully. You can continue driving with max for Run Flat tires with the “RSC” symbol. 50 mph (80 km/h).
Diagnose BMW TPM System
You will need an OBD-II scanner to read and clear BMW-specific fault codes to diagnose a BMW tire system malfunction. Generic OBD-II scanners won’t be able to read BMW TPM fault codes such as:
- 604E RDC System Malfunction
- 6050 RDC Transmitter, front right
- 6055 Wheel electronics, front right
The YOUCANIC Full System Scanner can read and clear fault codes through every control module of your vehicle.
TPMS and Run-Flat Tires
Most new BMW cars have run-flat tires; an inoperable TPM system can be a safety issue. Depending on the type, cars with run-flat tires can drive up to 55 mph and 200 miles with underinflated tires. While conventional tires have soft sidewalls that deflate when unpressurized, a run-flat tire has a strong sidewall structure. However, as these tires can support the car’s weight and maintain their shape with no air inside, drivers might not notice a punctured tire.
We hope you find the BMW TPM Malfunction TPMS Inactive guide helpful. Check these troubleshooting and repair guides for more help on your BMW.
