Tire Pressure Monitor System Reset
CAUTION:
DO NOT reset TPM system until all problems are fixed and tire pressure in all tires has been adjusted. If reset procedure is done when tire pressures are incorrect, TPM system will not work properly and may not set an alert when a tire pressure is low or high.
NOTE:
Whenever a wheel is changed or replaced, the TPM system needs to be reset. See Basic Setting
. If wheels are changed and replaced with manufacturer-approved wheel/tire combinations (i.e., from summer to winter tires) or if tire pressure deviates from pressures given on fuel filler flap, see After Wheel Or Pressure Change
. If vehicle is equipped with unapproved tires or tires with pressures other than those listed on fuel filler flap (a 2nd wheel set), see Wheel Sets With Different Pressure Specifications
.
Basic Setting
- Set the tire pressure of all wheels to specified pressure.
- With vehicle stopped and parking brake applied, turn ignition switch to ON position.
- Press SET button (located near gear shift) until an audio signal is heard. See Fig 1. The signal confirms basic setting.
After Wheel Or Pressure Change
- Set the tire pressure of all wheels to specified pressure.
- With parking brake applied, allow vehicle to stand for 20 minutes (5 minutes after a recognized tire puncture) so that control module enters learning mode.
- Drive vehicle at 16 mph (25 km/h) or more. As soon as vehicle reaches this speed, tire pressure sensor IDs are automatically recognized and read by control module.NOTE: An acceleration data check also occurs with vehicle speed. This process takes about 7 minutes.
Wheel Sets With Different Pressure Specifications
NOTE:
If unapproved wheel/tire combinations are installed, a 2nd wheel set must be learned. To perform this procedure, Volkswagen VAS 5051B is required.
- Read out tire pressure sensor IDs before installation.
- Switch TPMS to wheel set 2.
- Enter needed specified tire pressures and sensor IDs into system.
