Low6055 — Front Right Wheel TPMS Sensor Fault
Description
What the Code Means
Code 6055 points to a fault in the wheel electronics (TPMS sensor) at the front right wheel. The sensor has an internal battery that drains over time (usually 5–10 years) or can be damaged during tire replacement. A failed sensor doesn't transmit tire pressure data.
Symptoms
Symptoms
- Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) malfunction indicator
- No pressure data from the front right tire
- Low tire pressure warning
Causes and fixes
Diagnosis and Repair
Step 1
Check tire pressure manually with a gauge.
Step 2
Use a TPMS diagnostic tool (such as Autel or Bartec) to check for a signal from the front right wheel sensor.
Step 3
If there's no signal, replace the front right TPMS sensor (BMW part number 36106861748).
Step 4
After replacement, program the new sensor's ID with a diagnostic scanner.
Step 5
Reset the TPM system through the iDrive menu (Settings → Tire Pressure Control → Reset).
Possible secondary damage
Secondary Issues
Ignoring the fault can leave a slow air leak unnoticed. That can cause tire damage (wear, bulge) or, in the worst case, a blowout at high speed.
