Solution

1. Preparation

Gather tools: tire pressure gauge, OBD-II scanner, and basic hand tools.
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.

2. Check and Adjust Tire Pressure

Sub-steps:
1. Remove the valve caps from each tire.
2. Measure the tire pressure using the tire pressure gauge.
3. Inflate or deflate tires to match the recommended pressure (found on the driver’s door jamb).
4. Replace the valve caps securely.

3. Inspect and Replace TPM Sensors (if necessary)

Sub-steps:
1. Remove the tire from the wheel using a tire changer.
2. Locate the TPM sensor inside the tire.
3. Inspect the sensor for any visible damage or corrosion.
4. If damaged, replace the sensor with a new one, ensuring it is compatible with the BMW X5 G05.
5. Reinstall the tire and ensure it is properly balanced.

4. Reset TPMS

Sub-steps:
1. Turn on the ignition without starting the engine.
2. Navigate to the "Vehicle Info" section on the infotainment display.
3. Select "Tire Pressure Monitor" and choose the option to reset.
4. Confirm the reset and ensure the system acknowledges the new tire pressures.
