Passat (B6) :: TPMS Light Stuck On?
So I'm one of the lucky few that ended up in the middle of the arctic blast that nailed the US. My wonderful Passat though seemed largely unscathed as I never had any trouble starting it, no rough idle, and no transmission slips or stutters. I did however feel the issue of the TPMS light.
First day when it registered -14F on the dash the light was on (and MFD says "Tire Pressure Too Low"). I quickly hopped out and grabbed my gauge and checked the tires. Fronts were at 28lbs and backs were between 30 & 32lbs (exactly what I have them normally set at), so I figured that the sensors just got frozen and went on with my day.
Now the weather has warmed up (about 40F) and the damn light is still on... I've checked the pressure's again and everything's about the same (within 2lbs). Is this normal for these things to be this temperamental? I'd love to just do the TPMS delete.

Passat (B6) :: 2009 - TPMS Light Won't Go Off
09 Passat, 19xxx miles
Got in the car and the light came on along with "TIRE PRESSURE TOO LOW", so I went to the gas station and it's got a very NICE air machine. You dial in the PSI (in my case 33 according to door sticker) and it beeps when you've reached the specificed air pressure.
All 4 tires look good and I can't see any visible nails. I've drive about 60 miles on it after I aired them back up with no visible loss in pressure.
Running the OEM ContiSports and OEM "Fat 5" wheels. I haven't modified a thing on the car.
I looked in the manual and it was like "go to an authorized VW shop" and I'm like. What do I do to get the light to go off AND to know which tire was low.

Bought new tires for car. the original tires that came with the car were 16s. i bought her some 18s awhile back and got the tires installed. In the door jam the tires PSI are supposed to be 33psi, but then again tha'ts for 16" rims. well i was slowly bumping up the pressure in each tire and got all the way to 40psi and the light is still on in the dash. What am I doing wrong for this sensor not to turn off. I know 40psi is too much, I am going to let some out but I am getting frustrated with this light on the dash.

This is for 2012 Passat TDI SE
Month or so a go, my TPMS light came on. I checked the tires and they looked ok, and pressure was close to 32 psi which is recommended (pressure sticker on the door jamb). Tried resetting multiple times following the instructions provided in the user manual by pressing the TPMS reset button located in the glove compartment. Light still on. Tried clearing with VAG-COM and no success. Keeps saying check your tires and light is on.
I have read on various posts to pump the tires to 37-40psi. Tried that and no luck. Then I found someone saying on the forums that there is an issue where the TPMS gets some how recoded to 5.5 bar instead of 2.3 bar and that is why the light wont go away. How to recode TPMS to correct value

View 5 RepliesPassat (B6) :: 2008 - TPMS Warning Light Goes On
The manual doesn't have much in regards to the TPMS in our cars. I'm wondering what happens when the warning light goes on, meaning let's say I just need to add some air to a tire. Do I just add more air, and the warning light goes away? I'm coming from a Bimmer where I had to reset the warning and re calibrate the tires after filling it with adequate air. The way the manual make it sound, I have to go to the dealer? Is this right? Also, I'm looking at some aftermarket wheels that I know are compatible with out tpms sensors. Once the new wheels and tires are mounted with the OEM sensors, do I need to reset anything on the TPMS in the car?
View 1 RepliesPassat (B6) :: TPMS Light When Pressure Below 36 Psi After New Tires?
Last week I had new tires installed on my 18" Samarkands and the TPMS light has been on since. I've verified that all four corners have the metal TPMS sensors in place and the tires are at 40psi, spare is 38psi. I have driven over 100 miles since the tire change. In past the light would come on when pressure below 36psi, and would turn off when tires inflated.
Have this problem after a tire change? Are the sensors easily damaged? Discount Tire/America's Tire Store said to bring the car back so they could take a look, but first wanted to get Vortex input.
Passat (B7) :: TPMS Light Came On After 15 Minutes Of Freeway Driving
My tpms light came on tonight after 15 minutes of freeway driving. I checked the pressure in all 4 tires, and they were all right about 36 lbs. The door jamb tire info says 33 lbs cold, so this seems about right to me. why the tpms light might have come on? Is the spare tire hooked up to the tpms system? My Passat is only 1 month old, so I'm surprised the light came on.
View 8 RepliesPassat (B6) :: TPMS Light Comes On And Warning Of Low Tire Pressure
So tonight I'm driving on I-80 and all of a sudden I hear a thud, the TPMS light comes on and a warning of low tire pressure. I get out to take a lot and the rear left tire is practically flat. Changing the tire was pretty easy once I figured out where everything was in the tray.
So now I'm in the market for a replacement tire as there was a huge hole in tread. I have a about 3000 miles on the car. Would you get a replacement tire that is the same make/model as the rest of the tires, or would you simply get a cheaper replacement? Once I am ready to replace the rest of the tires, I'm not sure if I would replace them with the OEM make/model anyway. At the same time I'm not sure how long the OEM's will last.
Passat (B7) :: TPMS Light Came On But Tire Pressures Are Fine
I was driving doen the road and and all of a sudden I get a message to check the tires and the TPMS light was on. So I pulled over looked at the tires none looked flat. So I continued to a gas station to check the pressure. The pressures were fine, I had just installed my steel wheels and winter tires on Friday. What could have caused this and how do I reset it?
View 5 RepliesLexus GS 2006-11 :: TPMS Warning Light And Check System Light On?
Thursday driving home from work, the thing started dinging and all sorts of lights started flashing at me. I looked in the manual and (finally) found that it is the TPMS. The orange light on the left side blinks for 1 minute and then stays on steady. I also see "Check System" in the display under the speedometer and there is a red light with an explanation point (!) on the right side. Checked all tire pressure. All were at 30 PSI. Checked spare, it was good. Manual says if it blinks and stays steady, contact your dealer. Called...they can't look at it until Feb. 12. I drive 40 miles a day on average. Not a lot, but by 2/12 that is several hundred miles. what could be wrong and if i should still be driving this car?

I keep losing pressure in my left front tire. I've filled this tire about 5 times in the past 3 months compared to just once (the first time) in the other 4 tires (3 plus spare.) Dealer is trying to sell me on nitrogen and says that this is a common issue with air and TPMS but everything is normal, but I know it isn't. If it was then I'd have to refill the other tires too, but I only have to refill just this one.

View 6 RepliesPassat (B6) :: No TPMS But Still Got A Low Pressure Warning
So i got my new wheels in July, disabled all the TPMS stuff via vagcom and have had no issues or lights.
Well Saturday I start my car and i have a tire pressure low warning lit up in the MFD (no TMPS light lit up just the words in the MFD)
Due to laziness i didn't check anything till today, had the warning every time i started the car
We have just started having cold nights, so I figured i check the PS anyway today and im at 22 PSI all around. Odd that i was notified with no TPMS.
I added air to 32 PSI all around and the warning stayed on until i left the car for about 30 min then the warning was gone.
Passat (B7) :: TPMS Errors After 1000 Miles Of Driving
Got the TPMS light after ~1,000 miles of driving. Checked the pressure on all four and all read around 32psi. Pumped all up a few pounds, held the reset TPMS button in the glove box for 2 seconds with the ignition off. Now about a week later, I have the light on again and all 4 tires appear to be fine visually. What gives?

My gf calls me today to tell me her tire pressure light is on. She's only had it a month! Not even! Is this a common occurance? It has been bitterly cold here the past few days, could that be a factor? I don't see any reason for the light to come on less than a month into having the vehicle.
