What are the reasons for false tire pressure warnings in Volkswagen vehicles?
1 Answers
Volkswagen tire pressure false warnings are caused by abnormal tire pressure, unreset tire pressure monitoring, or damaged tire pressure sensors. Abnormal tire pressure: Generally, the system will trigger an alert when pressure falls below 1.8 bar or exceeds 3.0 bar. In such cases, tire inspection and pressure adjustment are required. Unreset tire pressure monitoring: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure monitoring system isn't reset promptly, it continues to record the previous data, causing the tire pressure warning light to illuminate. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, installed inside the tire and connected to the inflation valve, monitors tire pressure. If the sensor is damaged during driving (e.g., by hitting a curb), it will trigger the tire pressure warning light. In case of sensor damage, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.
