TPM Malfunction

Will one bad/dead TPM sensor cause a TPM Malfunction where none of the sensors will show active. I have the TPM Malfunction fault for the 2nd time in just over a month, and have noticed that the right rear sensor has been "slow" to display pressure/temperatures. So will one bad sensor give a system TPM fault where no sensors display temp/pressures?

Yes that can happen, I have a 2011 so I don't get the exact tire pressure readings but BMW is weird, I only have one bad sensor right now and it just says TPMS malfunction which is silly, it should say which sensor or one of the sensors failed.

I've been meaning to ask this question for a while now, I got my car used a year ago and when changing the tires i notices there are no TPMS sensors inside the wheel, i just assumed that adding these sensors will not change anything as this is not supported by my car, is there a way to check if I can get real pressure reading if I were to add sensors?

Or put the question differently, is there a specific feature that the car should be equiped with to be able to read pressures?

You might need to decode your vin and see if it's equipped with such a package
