WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If the wheel electronics system fails, the following behavior is to be expected:
- Fault entry in the RDC control unit
- Check Control message
- The RDC indicator and warning light lights up:
NOTE:
Deactivating an activated wheel electronics system is not possible.
It is not possible to deactivate a wheel electronics system that has already been activated. However, it does not send a radio signal as long as it has not been activated (trigger signal from RDC transmitter) and the vehicle is at a standstill.
The state of charge as well as the residual runtime of the battery in the wheel electronics system can be shown in the BMW diagnosis system. The battery of the wheel electronics system cannot be renewed.
