So, i disabled the TPMS error message!

[plac]

just to update, i dont think any of the above fixes worked for my LCD message.

but when i pumped all tires up to 44psi, the light and LCD message was off the second i started the car.

previous pressures were 40/40/40/38

I'm pretty sure this post refers to disabling the error light when you DON'T have the sensors. BUT 44psi? That's a bit too much. You don't need to put more than 34psi in to make the light go away if you have working sensors. 44 is too much psi.

all personal preference. i like hard tires.

hmmm...just tried this and the system off test would not finish :/

I noticed under central convenience, in the second to last bit, there was some TPMS box that was checked. Has anyone tried unchecking this box?

yup...

so just pump all 4 corners to 40-42 like i did and i bet the light goes off immediately. i have found a 2 psi difference in 1 tire can make the light go off.

The light is off, I'm trying to get rid of the message. I don't have TPMS, but thanks for the response tho. :wink:

the light is the easy piece to get off.. the message is the hard one.

Does it matter what Vag Com software you have on the computer. Would that play a difference? As I have the old software. Needed it to do hatch pop a long time ago and still have the old stuff. Anyone?

always important to have the latest. my version on my laptop currently is 908

So I can't get the message to turn off. Can anyone help?

 

[siliconcenturion]

what exactly is the message? Do you have access to a VAGCOM?

 

[bacardicj151]

Yeah I got a cable. It's just the standard tpms error message on the mfd

Hrmm...
You mean the blinking/solid TPMS light on the gauges, or an actual error popping up on the MFD? On my '09, I dont get an error in the MFD, just the warning light in the gauge cluster.

Updated with the new version of software and still wouldn't change the message. I run the prompt to toggle the system off and it just stays there and doesn't change. Am i not waiting long enough. I mean I waited a couple of minutes and nothing happened. ??
