Question Runflat indicator keeps comming on.

My runflat indicator keeps comming on, it makes a beep noise and the the thing near my handbrake remains lit, all the tire pressures are ok when i check, any ideas, could it be the cold weather ?

Hi there DCM

Had the same problem. Took my Baby back to the dealer who reset the computer. As of 2 weeks now, no furrher false alarms. He did say that if it came on again I would have to book my Baby in... So, let the dealer reset the computer. Hope that helps...

Cheers

Hoffie

You did think to check the tire pressures, Right? (It could be telling you about a low air pressure situation in a tire). (This happened on my friends 2002 EB/B).

Did you reset the tire pressure monitoring system according to the directions in your Owner's Manual?

I've never really noticed the reset button being lit ...

Is the reset button illuminated all the time or just when your headlights are on?
