Code out TPMS
I have an ‘03 (without Nav) looking to code out the TPMS system. |

I think the 2001-2006 X5 TPMS runs on speed sensors, measuring differences in the rotation of the wheels.
More modern cars use actual sensors in the valve stem. So the 2001-2006 X5 is not that bad, when the light is ON, there is low pressure somewhere, rarely false alarm in my experience...

I think the pre LCI ones use physical TPMS sensors in the wheels. The LCI 04+ use the ABS sensors.

Thanks for weighing in, I understand that you’re coning from a position of wanting to help. Please understand that (based on the vehicles in your signatures) you both drive LCI e53’s. As I mentioned previously, the LCI models (build dates from around 03/04 2004 onwards) use the ABS sensors as you both mention. The older e53’s pre LCI use a physical TPMS. My e53 is pre LCI, I would be really happy if you guys were right it would make my life easier and I’d save some money and hassle.
Really what I’m looking for is input from a member who has been able to use INPA or NCS to code out the TPMS system on the e53 as has been done on other BMW e code platforms. |

Does the e53 use the tpms system for any dsc related functions? If not, could you not just remove the bulb from the cluster rather than coding?
Just a thought. I like the tpms system personally, but to each their own.

You might be on to something there with taking out the bulb! Might look into if it’s easily doable. I agree with you I like the TPMS system too but this is a project car I picked up for $850, would prefer to avoid throwing $200 worth of TPMS sensors at the winter wheel set up for it.

On the issue of removing bulb...
On my Volvo, there was a service light (reminder to bring car in for service) that was annoying, I used a small piece of black electrical tape, maybe around 1/2" x 1/2" and cover the light. You won't even notice the black electrical tape is there.
