Unable to read TPMS ECU on 2022 R1250 GS

(1/3) > >>

DenverD:
Primary purpose for getting GS-911 WIFI is to program wheel TPMS ID's when changing between street tires on factory cast aluminum rims and knobbies on Woody's spoke rims. I want to change the tires and go, without having to go through the routine of changing one wheel at a time and riding it for a while. Secondary purpose for the GS-911 is to read and reset fault codes. Especially when on the road or trail.

Just got the GS-911 few days ago. It autoscans fine, reads all ECU's and any fault codes, allows me to reset fault codes, but it shows that the TPMS ECU is not communicating. Only the TPMS ECU. Unable to read the TPMS ECU, even while the TFT display is showing tire pressures.

Anybody out there experience this? Ideas?

I've also reached out to my local BMW dealer but haven't received an answer yet. Only thing I can think of is the bike software is set to lock out the TMPS ECU from being accessed by anyone without an official BMW diagnostics system.

WayneC:
The simple questions. is the GS911 firmware updated to latest & are you using the PC App or browser ?

The one thing the issue wont be is
"The bike software is set to lock out the TMPS ECU from being accessed by anyone without an official BMW diagnostics system"

Borgia:
In the 2022 model year BMW changed TPMS manufacturers from Schrader to LDL Technologies. My bet is the new manufacturer is not yet supported by the GS-911.

DenverD:
Yes, installed latest GS-911 software and firmware. Yes, using Windows based laptop computer and the GS-911 app with the USB cable connected. Yes, followed proper procedure for hooking up. Otherwise wouldn't have been able to Autoscan, see everything and control everything. Well, except the TPMS ECU.

Yes, I'd read about BMW switching TPMS manufacturers from Schrader to LDL Technologies. But my understanding is that referred to the TPMS Sensors in the factory rims, not the TPMS ECU. I wouldn't expect different sensors to prevent the GS-911 from seeing and communicating with the TPMS ECU itself.

Got response back from BMW Dealer saying that locking or unlocking the TPMS ECU isn't possible with the dealer's BMW service computer. So, I recon it's time indeed to submit a troublecall to Hexcode.

Borgia:
It most definitely involved BOTH the sensors and the actual TPMS module. The two systems are incompatible. Your issue is almost certainly due to the new TPMS and the GS-911 software not yet having caught up.
