think i might have disturbed one with the jet washer.

anyone know where they are so i can check?

are they easier to get to without the wheel on?

The TPMS on an E91 uses the ABS sensors to compare wheel revolutions. A soft tyre will have a smaller rolling diameter and hence more revs than other wheels.

Interestingly mine came up yesterday and having checked the tyre pressures are OK it won't reset so I assume I have an ABS sensor fault too. I think you'll have to get the wheels off to check each sensor. Could be dirt on the sensor ring I suppose.
