Tpms r53

What is the most common problem with TPMS that causes the light to stay on; my R53 has the wheel sensor hubs ( hub or sensor wire) ?

What have you already tried? Is there any other lights that are on? Is there a change in how the car handles?

I would start with checking your tire pressure. Adjust as needed. The next time you put the key in, before you start the engine press the button just below the e-brake. Start the car and drive it a bit. The light should go out if its just the tire pressure that is off.

Checked all tire pressures, reset button next to e-brake and drove around for appx 20 minutes ,light still on .Going to isolate (unplug one @ a time or ohm out ) wheel sensors to determine which wheel. Thanks...

Are there any codes being thrown by the car? If you are going to check each sensor check your brakes as well as there are wear sensors on those as well.

No codes and brand new factory JCW brakes and rotors ; brakes sensors were cleaned up and re-installed...
