How to reset the tire pressure warning light on Golf 7?
2 Answers
The method to reset the tire pressure light on Golf 7 is to locate the CAR button on the original car CD, click to enter, then go to the settings in the lower right corner of the display screen, where you can find the tire pressure option to reset it. Below is some relevant information: 1. Some models' tire pressure monitoring systems require a self-learning process. After repairing or inflating the tires, it is necessary to reset and clear the tire pressure data. Otherwise, even if the tire pressure is normal, the monitoring system will retain the original fault code, so the tire pressure light will still be on. 2. Based on the installation position of the sensors, tire pressure monitoring can be divided into external and internal types. The external type installs the sensor on the tire's valve stem, while the internal type installs the sensor inside the tire.
Hey, old driver here sharing some tips. If you encounter a tire pressure warning on your Golf 7 and want to reset it, I've done this several times. First, don't start the engine—just turn the key to the ON position until the dashboard lights up. Then, use the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to navigate to the menu, enter the vehicle settings, find the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) option, select it, and press the SET button to confirm the reset. After that, drive a short distance to let the system relearn the baseline tire pressure values. Why reset? Because it relies on ABS sensors to detect differences in wheel speed—when there's a leak, uneven rotation triggers the alarm. Before resetting, it's best to manually check all tires with a pressure gauge to ensure they're inflated to the standard value, which I recommend around 2.3-2.5 bar. Make it a habit to check tire pressure monthly or when washing your car to reduce false alarms. Safe driving is key—the system helps avoid blowout risks, but resetting is just the first step; don't rely on it to cut corners.
