What Causes False Alarms in Volkswagen Tire Pressure Monitoring?
1 Answers
Indirect tire pressure monitoring systems determine abnormal tire pressure by comparing the rotational speeds of tires using wheel speed sensors. If a monitoring malfunction is detected, it is likely due to a faulty wheel speed sensor, which requires prompt inspection, or possibly poor internal contact. Additional information: Sometimes the tire pressure warning light illuminates due to excessive tire pressure. According to international standards, the recommended inflation pressures for passenger car tires are: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5 bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9 bar; Maximum pressure: should not exceed 3.5 bar. Therefore, if any tire exceeds 3.0 bar, it can also trigger the tire pressure warning light.
