Yellow Tyre Pressure Warning Light

Post by RSCosworth » Thu Aug 18, 2016 8:47 pm

Sure this has been asked before but I couldn't find the answer after a quick search, got the yellow tyre pressure warning light come up on my dash despite the fact my tyres are all perfectly inflated but my question is, how do I reset the light?? Can't find my manual since moving house a few months ago :cry:

Don't have the manual to hand, but from memory it is something like turn the ignition on, but don't start. Go to the menu and there should be a wheels option, set tyre pressure and that should fix it.

I've just gone thru this myself.

First pass was to do the "Tyre Change" in the menu in the instrument cluster. That worked for a few minutes, then the pesky light returned.

VCDS said low signal (or similar nonsense), so I bought four TPMS wheel sensors on eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/261992884324) and had them swapped and tires re-balanced. Problem solved.

Seems like our cars are getting to the age where the batteries in the wheel TPMS sensors are dying of old age, and need to be replaced. HTH.

This ---> "Tyre Change" in the menu in the instrument cluster

I am not looking forward to batteries dying!

My TPMS batteries went flat, I turned the TPMS off using VCDS until I'm ready for a set of tyres :bigblink:
