TPMS Front and Rear

[Norman]

Hi Everyone, I took the front tyre off my C650GT ( 2014) and get a new tyre, which I purchased fitted. Will the TPMS 8532732 ( which was working before ) work again, when I fit the tyre back into the Scooter in the next few days? I guess ,I will find out......also wondering are the front / rear are the same ? 8532732.
I'm also reading a lot about the learning tool. The rear is going off and on from time to time, so I guess the battery is flat. The rear tyre still got 3000 Km left and I would like to prepare myself and learn instead getting a dealer involved . In my age ( 69) all these electronic things confusing me !!!
Thanks ,Norman

There are other threads on this, but basically I programmed my new TPMS sensors (replace when replacing tire, you don't want to have to disassemble the tire when the battery on the sensor goes out) with my Motoscan app combined with a cheap wake-up tool. It worked well.
In your case I would wait until the rear tire needs to be replaced with replacing that sensor.
The number you list rings a bell but I don't have my invoice handy to confirm for sure.

Changing a tire will make no difference in TPMS function. However, it's always helpful to tell your tire person in advance there is a TPMS unit in the middle of the valley in the rim, so they don't rip it off with the tire machine.

Part # is the same for front and rear TPMS.

As Ceesie says, there are lots of threads here on replacing a TPMS sensor. One T-30 torx bolt holds them in place, so buy a new sensor online and hand it to your tire guy when he puts new rubber on the rim (unless you do that yourself). It takes half a minute to install a new sensor.

Many thanks for your advice. Yes, I told the tyre Guy before he took the F-Tyre off the rim. ( He didn't know ).So he was "gentle" I told him as well watch the new tyre direction. Unfortunaly I had to go back; wrong way. He is just 4 Km away, no problem. Just done a test-run and the front TPMS is working. Don't know for how long. In a few month I will do the rear tyre and as some YouTube-Videos show; try to change the Battery.
Thanks again.

TPMS for C600: I typically use the cheap Chinese TPMS: https://www.ebay.com/itm/3149596792...2l5vlC2K930ImLgw+NNbZ/Vjkt|tkp:Bk9SR-T11678Yg You would need the GS911 to program the new TPMS and the wake up tool: https://www.ebay.com/itm/3949868247...h3H9Lhl8uFLMJsYEql8sBacC0Iim|tkp:BFBMjubqrvxi Steps: I typically pull the rubber off the wheel, install new TPMS, hook up GS911 to plug located under the front part of the C600 seat. Turn on scooter ignition switch, use GS911 software to find your make and model, go to the TPMS GS911 function, use wake up tool to "wake-up" your new TPMS. The GS911 with automatically find the new TPMS Serial Number automatically, You then click to replace your old TPMS sensor and the new one replaces it. I use to just dig out the old battery from the old TOMS but found that it was unreliable over bumpy roads and high speed travel. The Chinese TPMS are ok. Sometimes they sit on a shelf at some warehouse for years so the battery will only last a couple years at best. Good Luck. I an pretty sure this process works for ALL BMW makes and models.

Thanks for the info.
I just get stumped at the "pull the rubber off the wheel" phase of your how-to!

Sorry. I meant pull the rubber tire off the wheel. If you do not own a gs911 you can find used ones for about 30% less than new if you search the forums and Craigslist. It will pay for itself after a couple of trouble light resets

Many thanks, for all the effort to explain things to me. I will look into it. You are right with install a new battery. Sometimes it works but most of the time not.

I have found it too difficult (=impossible) to pry the battery from a dead old TPM sensor, the long one.
Ended up buying the current new (small) model that still fits the old wheel. New wheels only fit new sensors.
There was no need in any programming, however. Once I went to SETUP - RDS CAL. the new sensor was auto discovered and is working perfectly.
Part was $230 AUD.
