Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Direct System
Additional information regarding the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) refer to Self Study Program No. 347, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
Wheel electronics are mounted on each wheel for tire pressure monitoring.
The wheel electronics regularly send data that is received by the central locking and anti-theft system antennas and directed to the tire pressure monitoring control module -J502-.
This control module is integrated with a diagnostic address in the comfort system central control module -J393-.
All specified tire pressure values (control pressures) are programmed in the control module at the factory.
The pressures apply to a set of wheels with approved tires recommended by Volkswagen and noted on the fuel filler flap.
The specified tire pressures for this wheel set are given for partial and complete vehicle load and must not be changed.
Using a button SET -2- in the center console, the driver can switch between full and partial load, check status and switch tire pressure monitoring on or off.
This button is not for the North American region (NAR). Therefore, the previously described function does not apply to this region.
Messages and warnings are shown via lights in instrument panel and texts in instrument panel display.
