You've probably done this but have you reset the tyre pressue system on the i-drive?

Everytime the tyre pressure has been checked or a tyre change is done the system needs to be reset in the i-drive.

My ftm warning came on and it turns out one of my tires has a slow leak.

So it does work!

Did you check all the air in the tires first?
