About 50% of the time when I start my car and shift into Drive or Reverse I get these warnings. It’s really annoying and quite embarrassing when others are in the car.
Once I start driving it goes away and all systems appear to work normally. Sometimes however I’ll get these inoperative warnings while I’m driving.
I’ve taken my car to the dealer 3 times for this and they always just do a “software update”, it clears up the issue for about a week but then it all comes back.
Has anyone experienced this and did they find a fix? Appreciate any help thank you.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. My tire pressure is within normal range but it’s been really cold where I live in Canada. I’ll try topping them up a little bit and see what happens.

You're welcome : )
Hopefully that fixes it, might explain why after driving the issue fix itself but after sitting overnight, the first drive, the error messages comes back up as you know, driving increases the tire pressure as air heats up.
Use the cold tire pressures listed on the fuel cap, if you have winter tires, use the M+S values.
Once done press ok on the tire pressure screen and select accept as new reference values.

Are you sure that's the recommended tire pressure? My 450e is higher. Have you checked the tire placard located on the driver's side door jamb?
I get it once in awhile surely not as frequently as you. I'd say maybe 3-5 times in 8 months.
do you notice any correlation between the error and tire pressure? Because it’s an intermittent issue it’s tough replicating at the dealer so I don’t think they really do much when they tell me they’ve “updated the software”. Not sure how they can update the software 3 times.
Just sharing an update, I’ve topped up my tire pressure and reset values on the system and haven’t had the error message pop up again. Hopefully this was the fix, thanks for all the help!

That is good to hear, might indeed have to do with the software glitch that was discussed.
