Title: Tyre pressure sensors issue
Post by: Mileymk6 on 12 July 2022, 11:20
Hi

My mk6 has a tyre pressure sensor warning light on the dash, tried to reset via button in glovebox but to no avail, it’s a 2010 with factory 18” monzas.
Any suggestions?

Not really helpful but I seem to have the opposite problem. The tyre pressure warning light doesn't come on at all for me. I had tyres below 16 psi and the computer didn't pick it up 😵‍💫

Held the button down until it beeps then gone for a drive?

The problem is it doesn’t beep no matter what you do

So with ignition on, not driving, holding down the button for a few seconds doesn't cause a reset beep?

Nothing, no beep, light stays on engine running or not.

If its not resetting by holding down for ages then there maybe a fault. It can also be reset using VCDS if you can find someone local with a cable.

How would I get a diagnosis?
Could it be a sensor in one of the wheels or do they not work like that?

No sensors in the wheels. It works by rolling diameter by looking at the signals from the ABS sensors and seeing what difference there is.

Right, no abs lights on though.

Could it be the reset switch? Worth checking the wiring to the switch.

Reset switch seems to be all ok, will it have to be plugged in?
