Hello all, i bought a used 2012 Mini Cooper S Countryman All4 a few weeks ago and the tpms light will flash when i start it for a while, then goes solid and on my tach, i get an alert that says its inactive. The tpms won't reset, so what should i do? I don't want to buy a new sensor if the one in it is already good. Any help is aappreciated.

Sensors do pack up (moisture in air in tyre, etc), National tyres and some other places do have repair kits so you might not have to buy a full sensor.
As you bought the car used have you had it back to the selling dealer to get them to fix it under warranty (you have at least 3 months warranty on a used car by law)?
It might be the case the previous owner changed wheels and swapped the sensors over, then put the standard ones back on when trading it in without swapping sensors back?
