Frequently asked questions
2018 BMW M6 Gran Coupe shown

On the BMW M6 Gran Coupe, the tire pressure light—a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point—means one or more monitored tires may be at least 25 percent below the placard pressure, or the monitoring system may have a fault.

Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford in Medford, MA, helps drivers understand and address this warning with a complete tire pressure light diagnosis. The visit covers pressure readings for every monitored tire, sensor signal and battery checks, inspection for punctures and leaking valve stems, and system relearn after tire or sensor work. This separates a tire needing air or repair from a sensor needing replacement, giving the driver a clear next step for the BMW M6 Gran Coupe.

What the tire pressure light means on a BMW M6 Gran Coupe

The warning appears as a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When the light stays steadily illuminated, one or more tires are at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the placard inside the driver’s door jamb. This can happen after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees. A tire may look fully inflated while still needing attention. If the light flashes for about a minute at startup and then remains illuminated, the tire pressure monitoring system itself has a fault, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down. An underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter, so pressure should be set at the next stop.

What the diagnosis covers at Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford

The tire pressure light service begins with a pressure check of every monitored tire against the placard on the driver’s door jamb. The service team also scans each tire pressure sensor for its signal and battery status, helping distinguish a tire that needs air or a repair from a sensor that needs replacement. Each tire is inspected for punctures, and valve stems are checked for leaks. After any sensor or tire work, the monitoring system is relearned so its readings can be checked correctly. Drivers can schedule service at Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford for a complete evaluation.
