TPMS – is this a discrimination?
Discussion
Hello to All,
I have DBS 2011 with the BF1Systems (Beru). During winterizing the car I took off all wheels. I noticed the tpms system did not report any fault when wheels are off, i.e. the are no sensors visible, however the system shows bars instead of pressure readouts. The same behavior has been described in the SA-19-0230 as malfunction with a clear recommendation to re-flash the tpms ecu. I contacted my local dealer describing my case, unfortunately they were not able to proceed SA-19-0230 since the action is limited to North American dealers only. It seems to me, the North American regulator describe precisely how the tpms warning system should work, since (if I am not mistaken) EU Parliament limited its activity to the latest issued directive saying that from 2012 onward all new cars have to be equipped with a tmps system (read: any system).
To me, the tpms system should report a fault immediately after it does not see tpms sensor as this can directly impact safety of a driver/passenger. So I wonder why AML limits the SA-19-0230 only to the region where this is required by law? What do you think?
