TPMS

[cursor-delta0g]

Hi

 

TPMS seems to have got itself stuck with the front tyres, inflated to 2.6 bar but the TPMS is registering 2.7 O/S AND 3.8 N/S. It does change so it’s not "stuck" but the baseline seems to have gone awry.   it’s a recent problem since the hot weather (coincidence?) Initialising the system doesn’t seem to correct it. The rear tyres register fine at 2.4 bar.  It’s just an annoyance with the ‘beep’. Is there a sensor in each wheel that needs replacing ? Thinking just wait and see until normal weather returns. 
 

anyone experienced this before with their TPMS?

Somewhere in one of the menus there should be an option to reset the standard or baseline setting. Don't ask me where as I don't know the A8.

Hi cliff

 

yes i know how to reset the tpms. What’s failing is that it seems to register inconsistent pressure on the front tyres, both set at 2.6 bar but TPMS is reading way above this.

Definitely could be a sensor (or the battery in the sensor at least). A diagnostic check would tell you.

Interesting, does each wheel have a sensor and battery?

I believe so.
