New or changed wheel/sensor not stored in the control unit after wheel change or pressure adjustment
Tire pressure loss detected on one or more wheels
Control unit unable to start up within 10 minutes after storing pressures
What to check (live data)
Tire pressure values (nominal vs. actual, stored via 'Store tyre pressures' function in MMI)
Tire air temperature (used by system to determine corrected tire pressure)
Sensor ID recognition status (control unit learns sensor IDs independently)
Tire Pressure Monitoring Display Indicator Lamp K220 state (lit without flashing = low pressure detected)
Vehicle speed (adaptation takes a few minutes above 30 kph after storing pressures)
Parts often involved in C102DF5
Tire pressure sensor (individual sensor replacement possible if tyre valve is undamaged)
Tyre valve/sensor unit
Tire Pressure Monitoring Control Module (J502 / diagnostic address 65/0065)
