What is the reason why the tire pressure light of the old Lavida cannot be turned off after the annual inspection?

If it cannot be turned off, you need to go to the Volkswagen after-sales service center and ask the staff to check the tire pressure and related systems such as sensors. After confirming that there is no fault, use a special decoder to clear the tire pressure warning light on the car. The following is a specific introduction to a punctured tire: 1. The tire pressure monitoring light is on due to a punctured tire: This situation is usually caused by a very slow leak, and it is difficult to determine which tire is the problem immediately. You can use a tire pressure gauge to measure, with the front tires at 2.3 and the rear tires at 2.5. If there is a lack of air, replenish it and then observe the tire pressure warning light. If it lights up again after a few days, you need to remove the tire for inspection. 2. Tire pressure: Sometimes the tire pressure monitoring light is on because the tire pressure is too high.
I've been driving my old Lavida for over ten years and have encountered the issue where the tire pressure light stays on after the annual inspection, which is quite annoying. There could be several reasons: the inspector might have adjusted the tire pressure during the inspection, causing the system to mistakenly think the pressure is unstable; or the system itself might need a manual reset—Lavida usually has a reset button under the steering wheel, and holding it for a few seconds should do the trick. If that doesn’t work, then it might be a sensor malfunction or wiring issue, such as aging or loose wires causing false alarms. I recommend first checking if the tire pressure is consistent across all tires. If everything looks normal, try restarting the vehicle. If that doesn’t help, it’s best to visit a professional workshop—safety first. Regular maintenance of the tire pressure system can prevent such issues.
