Tyre Pressure Warning

[djt]

Just had my tyre pressure warning light come on, so I nipped to the garage and pumped all 4 tyres up but the warning is still showing.

Any ideas???

Reset the pressures and see what happens.

OK.... Erm... How?

In the dis menu - should be a 'set pressure' or similar

BTW for those who have been saying that the MOT test will start testing TPMS systems from 1st January 2012 see page 105 of the MOT Inspection Manual here http://www.dft.gov.uk/vosa/repository/M ... Manual.pdf

The inspection of the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning lamp only applies to passenger vehicles with:

- four or more wheels, and
- not more than 8 passenger seats excluding the driver’s seat, and
- first used on or after 1 January 2012

So the TPMS on a B7 RS4 will NOT be part of next years's MOT test - since they have been first used before 1 January 2012.

Also had tyre pressure warning light on when I picked my RS4 a few weeks ago, guy said it was because he'd had 20inch wheels on it while he had the originals in the Shop getting refurbed, said it would sort itself out after a while. Waited a week then tried setting the tyre pressures as per the chart on the door jam and then got red warning saying pressure too low. Tried putting pressures back up but red warning still on and won't let you go into the menu to set the pressures????

You will get into the dis menu if you do not start the engine but just turn on the ignition.

[Gazzaton]

Thanks sumdy, will try that when I get home, weather permitting

Is there a way to disable to TPMS completely? Via Vagcom maybe?

[adsgreen]

Yes - Vagcom can disable it.

That bloody worked, fantastic. Had been stuck with the annoying warning sign since tyres changed about a month ago!!!
