TPMS - can you help please? (VCDS)
 
Can someone give me a steer on this please?

TPMS keeps coming up with fault on the dashboard - not related to a particular tyre, just a TPMS yellow fault in the dash

I go to TPMS and can see all tyres including spare are green but not registering any Temp or Pressure values.

Reinitialising doesn't do the job.

How can I diagnose this with VCDS and anything specific I can do that kicks it back in to life?

Any help or pointers to thread, stickies etc., I've missed would be gratefully received

Thanks

D.

I can't help with the VCDS side of things, but the sensors do have a battery life of about 7 years. After which you will need new ones. Once fitted the new sensors work after re-initialising in the MMI

Yes thinking they may be out.

Checked on VCDS yesterday and seems to only report one TPMS being an issue but then I think I need to go in to each TPMS sensor somehow so I can check voltage and the like - also seems VCDS can check each car sensor (the one one the car that speaks to the TPMS sensor in the wheel) so could potentially do that too but I need to know how ti all works to know what I'm looking at.

Another option for me may just be to find out how to use VCDS to just turn the damn thing off.
