Loss of After market TPMS Data

Without any other indications or issues, I've loss my TPMS (temp and pressure) readings from the sensors I've had for over a year. They simply read "--".

All tires are green on the vehicle diagram, and I've reset the TPMS system a few times, and it says "TPMS Active". I've gone in and un-activated and activated the readings in the RDC, but no change.

I can see maybe two going bad, but all four at the same time would be rare. So I'm looking for single points of failure, anyone have any ideas or experience with this? Thanks...

I know you got new wheels. Did you reuse the original tpms or did you get aftermarket ones?

My daughter has oem tpms on her F30 and it has temp/psi but my RS Technik's don't have it.

they are the same RS Technik sensors I've had now for over a year. They have been moved from one set of wheels to another four times, but were working properly after the final switch to the new wheels. I would think it is a vehicle issue with a single item, like the TMPS module that received the individual signals from each sensor. But that doesn't make sense either sense the TPMS system itself reports as activated.

I have an OEM set and an RS Technik set. My OEM sensors show the temp and pressure, but like Lacster, my RS Technik don't. I use the RS Technik ones on my winter setup since those are only on the car for about 4 months out of the year.

Well, the pressure and temp readings are back on my RS Technik sensors. So they do work.
