Touareg :: TPMS And Flat Tyre Warning Message

Recently replaced the front tire pressure monitor sensors from my '04 T V8. Since then the readings are fine with the only exception that I do get the "FLAT TYRE" warning a few minutes after I start my trip and for about 2-3 minutes until it goes off again. Shall I take it back to the dealer for reprogramming, is it something else I should look for...

Touareg :: 2004 - Flat Tyre Warning On MFD While Accelerating At 50 Mph?

My 2004 V-8 Touareg has 19000 miles. The other day I started receiving "Flat Tyre" warnings on the MFD. The warning only appears when I accellerate to about 50 mph. It disappears when I come to a stop. The air pressure in all tires remains consistent (no leaks) and resetting the TPMS system hasn't corrected the problem. What's causing this.

Touareg :: Defective Wheel On Board And Flat Tyre Messages

I've got an '04 Touareg V8, and i am getting "Defective Wheel on Board" and "Flat Tyre" messages in the MF1 display (with associated annoying-beeping). I am assuming that it's time to replace one or more of the TPMS sensors.

- My understanding is that one cannot simply replace the batteries, the entire sensor needs replacing.

- I assume all 4 need to be replaced as a sat.

Touareg :: TPMS Started Alarming Check Tyre Pressure - All Tires Are At 44 Psi

On Friday (outside temperature 2 degrees), my TPMS started alarming the usual (CHECK TYRE PRESSURE). So I looked at the display and all four "tyres" had an exclamation point. So I took out my $1 tire pressure gauge and all four tires were 44 psi. After re-setting the TPMS, all is back to normal.

I wonder what happened there?

Phaeton :: Flat Tyre Warning Came On

I'm getting an erroneous intermittent "Flat Tyre" warning on one of the 4 corners. Usually only happens after about 10-15 minutes of highway driving. I haven't had the problem on city driving. Pressure is good on the "faulty" corner. After resetting the tire pressures and the TPMS relearning, everything is then fine again . . . only to return the next time I'm on the highway.

Prius V :: Intermittent Vibration / Shuddering Like A Flat Tyre

In the past month I have had 4 instances (approx. once per week) of vehicle vibration/shuddering. The first time I thought for sure I had a flat tire and pulled over immediately and had a look at my tires. All was fine and I continued to drive with no further vibration.

My Prius v ( lowercase v for the Prius v wagon ) has 50,000 kilometers. Has had all required service at our local Toyota dealer. It has always been a pleasure to drive, smooth and quiet. Has only been on paved roads and the tires are in excellent condition.

Touareg :: 2004 V6 Will Not Start - Pressure Sensor Low Or Flat

Noticed the fan running a lot louder then normal. Tire pressure sensor keeps saying it is low or that it is flat. checked air in all put air in all and still get that tires are low. Got a check engine light the other day then it went off. Went to start it today and wouldn't start. all lights come on on the dash gauges move except the battery gauge. Jump started it and she started got to the house and it wouldn't start. So i am thinking it is the battery or could it be the ecu? or the alternator? The lights on the dash weren't dimming when trying to start now i get nothing. Never had computers problems with it since i bought it. Been the same battery since it was purchased.

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Does TPMS Flat Tire Warning Go Away On Its Own When Fixed?

Had the first flat, and after it was fixed, screen warning and yellow TPMS light don't go away. Does it reset itself automatically after 'x' ignition cycles, or do we need one of those TPMS tools to reset it? No mention of this in the manual. Need to know before I blame Discount Tire for damaging the sensor. But since they don't charge to fix flats, don't know if I'd be able to get anything from them.

It's a 2011 Sonata Limited.

Phaeton :: TPMS Sensor - Flat Tire Warning Comes At Virtually The Same Time When Drive

I have one TPMS sensor that incorrectly tells me I have a flat when I do not. I presume the sensor is faulty because the wheel was moved to the rear as part of a recent service and the problem moved with the wheel.

What I find peculiar is that the flat tire warning comes at virtually the same time when I drive, about ten or so minutes into the journey, and leaves about five minutes later, usually not to return. Indeed, when I occasionally drive the car to work, I know when the signal will come on, within about .25 mile.

Touareg :: 2004 - Intermittent TPMS Failure Only In Cold Weather

Our late '04 touarg has been experiencing an intermittent tpms failure. Seems to occur only during sub-20 degree farenhiet whether and only when the 'egg is cold (i.e. parked outdoors or in an unheated garage) and generally occurrs shortly after starting/driving the car. Message we receive states that the system has failed (not flat tire/defective wheel/etc). The fault will then clear itself after around 10 minutes. Any solutions?

Prius (2004-09) :: 2008 - While Sitting On Flat Surface Error Come To Park On Flat Surface

I have a 2008 toyora prius with 75423mi on it, was purchased with 70000mi two or three months ago. I have had no problems with this vehicle until recently. Being a prius newbie, I decided to ask here. When sitting parked on a slight slope earlier with the car running, radio running, and phone plugged in for an extended amount of time, I received an error on my display stating smething along the lines of "there is an abnormality with the p transmission mechanism, please part the car on a flat surface and engage the parking break completely" paired with a red triangle on the dash. I immediately moved the car to flat ground and engaged the parking break. The car turns one, shifts fine, and acts just as normal as prior. Is there anything I should be worried about? The car is still under toyota warrenty and is due an oil change now. Any clue what the cause of this was and if it will be reoccuring?

Touareg :: MFI Flashes Warning - Flat Tire?

Last Sunday, my wife and I are driving down the highway. MFI flashes a warning something like "You have a Flat Tire!", then changes to "Faulty Tire" indicator.

Treg seems to be driving fine, I said to wife - probably electrical problem assuming the tire pressure sensor isn't working. Pull over, get out, look at tires, they don't look flat. Get back in, look at tire pressure monitor, which shows left rear tire is flat. Get back out, look at tire closer - hear hissing noise. Sure enough, We've got a nail in the tire.

Put suspension in jack mode, jack it up, put on spare tire, pump it up from air compressor, take tire to get fixed. (Manual talks about removing air compressor and hooking it to battery under hood? which is wrong).

Touareg :: No Running Lights - Boat Trailer Uses 5 Pin Flat Plug

I have a VW Touareg hitch installed by the dealer. I tested the plug this weekend and found that I do not have running lights. Turn signals and brakes work fine. I discovered that my boat trailer uses a 5 pin flat plug to the round 7 pin that fits into the Touareg hitch receptacle. I believe most trailers use a 4 pin. Is there a fix?

Touareg :: TMPS On After About 5 Minutes Of Driving - Flat Tire Fault

My TMPS as recently randomly tells me after about 5 minutes of driving that there is a flat tire. Stopping and checking the Inflation (warm type) shows the typical ~ +2 psi and no faults (or warnings) like long term -3psi or when I physically let the air out of the tire to test it. Physical test of the tire pressures confirms that they are all about ~+2psi after driving for 5-10 minutes.

No, there are no nail in the tires.
Yes, they pass the soap bubble test.
Yes, they hold the inflated pressures for weeks (both on TPMS cold and warm types) AND physical checks with TWO types of pressure gauges.
Yes, I have retrained several times after complete overnight cool down (~55F) and verification of physical pressure.

I though it my be RF interference with the TMPS (almost the same area after getting on the highway from 10 blocks of stop and go city streets) but it also randomly does it on city streets and sometimes after only 1 minute. No internal changes to the car electronics. No changes to mobile phone or location in car. Do these valve stems have batteries ? If the battery is low, is there an indicator of such ?

Touareg :: Transmission Surging When Driving On Flat Ground At A Constant Pace

This weekend I was driving home from my parents and noticed that on flat ground at a constant pace there seemed to be surging of some sort...Although I am not sure that surging is exactly what it was, but it is the best word to describe it.

Basically, if I kept my foot at an even speed (not accelerating or decelerating) I would get very subtle movement in what seemed to be either the differential or the transmission. No error codes were thrown and the battery gauge was spiked at 14 solid.
