Unable to read TPMS ECU on 2022 R1250 GS

Mystery solved! Submitted a troublecall to HEX Code and received this paraphrased response:

"I can confirm with your autoscan that you've got the XSLZ03 keyless controller. As of late 2022, the TPMS is now handled through that instead of the traditional TPMS module being fitted (we have to include it in the menus still though as slightly older 1250s still have the XRDC controller fitted). This change is currently in beta. The software change is scheduled for release with the next update - most likely end of this month."

I personally don't understand BMW's logic. But at least we have our answer and can work with it. So for anyone else facing the same problem as me, just hang on a couple more weeks for the next software update.

Borgia:
Correct. LDL Technologies supplies BMW with and integrated TPMS/Keyless system.

Borgia:
On another forum a chap posted a response by BMW to a TPMS inquiry. The chap had a spare wheel set and asked about what happens when only one wheel is changed. The answer from BMW was to the effect that BOTH wheels have to be changed and the new wheel set combination "taught in again by the dealer".

Perhaps when the HEX Code folks release the new software they can clarify what procedures need to be followed by those having two wheel set yet wanting to change just one wheel. Rarely do front and rear tires reach end of life coincidentally!

Ruan:
Hi Borgia

Interesting query, we haven't tried changing one only, but considering that replacing a sensor on only 1 wheel is the same process as replacing the entire tire, sounds to me like BMW are just trying to get another way of looting our wallets.

I'll watch for results of your investigation as not every communication from a BMW source is necessarily correct and yes indeed there is a very long list of ways by which BMW tries to loot our wallets. Particularly frustrating for those who wish to do their own repairs is BMW's decision to no longer provide service information. Is HEX Code encountering difficulty securing the information it needs to continue to develop its excellent products?
