I am having the same issue… I purchased the V checker 202 and found that it does not fit my Data link connector port either. Any suggestions anyone? Mine is a UK supplied GT. I attach images of the Car and V Checker connections.. Help please!

 

Looks like the right number of pins and the right number of holes for the pins, it should fit. Mine doesn't fit well, I really have to press it on there. It usually takes me a minute or two to fit correctly and get it to light up the vchecker. This is not a stick your hand under the dash and it slips on easily connection, this is a getting on the ground, head under the dash with a light kind of bad connection. My guess is the plastic surround on your v202 isn't exactly the right shape, perhaps some careful trimming of the plastic will help it fit on. Also make sure your pins are straight and not at an angle (which can happen since it doesn't fit well and you press on them).
Don't give up.

Agreed, the port can be VERY tight. Please let us know how it goes.

 

Yeah, I am had the same issue using My equipment. I got it to work my managing to wedge a finger from behind the purple port pushing it securely on the connector to the scanner. The way it is mounted is very flimsy and difficult to connect to.

 

For those who cares how this happens:

1. First you remove fuse #11. Which will disable the TPMS module (VAG Channel 65).

2. VAG Channel 19 is the CAN Gateway itself . The code 0000006 tells the gateway to discover what modules are available and because you pulled out the TPMS fuse, it will not see this module and think it is not installed.

If you read the value on channel 19, you may find the 0000006 value is already there, just re-apply it.

Mine is a UK car too.how it going now?

 

anyone know about this?

Thx ccwboy, great link!


When we changed sensors we just cloned the old ones. New TPS units can be programmed to clone the old ones so saved a boatload of $$$ by not needing to take it to the dealer

;
;NOTES CONCERNING TPMS ADAPTATION:
;Measured Value , 6, 9, 12 and 15 are stored only when the system is relearned.
;Therefore this information is not always an accurate representation of current wheel location and status.
;In addition, one faulty wheel sensor has the potential to create faults at multiple wheel locations.
;
;How to identify current tire pressure monitoring sensor locations:
; – Vehicle must be parked 4 meters (12 feet) AWAY from other vehicles with same or similar tire pressure monitoring system.
;If vehicles with same or similar systems (e.g. other Phaetons or Touaregs) are parked too close to one another there is a
;high probability of the systems interfering with each other.
;
;Battery life shown in MVB 2,5,8 and 11 is only usable if the system has learned all wheel
;locations. If this is the case it can be determined in MVB 19, where 00025 is the standard value for
;a system that is active and set. If the system is not active (showing any other number in MVB 19), it
;will still show the last values that were stored the last time it was operating correctly. During the
;learning drive MVB 19 will start with 00265 and will add numbers to this field, until it reaches a
;maximum of 63545. This can be observed during the learning drive with the VAG-COM. If the setting
;value not reached within 30 minutes, an error message is generated. The duration of the test or
;learn drive depends on how fast the tires warm up. Highway will be faster than within the city, stop
;and go traffic might not set at all.

I have a 2005 Bentley GT and I had some new wheels placed on them with new sensors. The sensors are good. The Bentley Dealership states that I have to get the computer module that controls the TPMS updated so that they can install the latest calibration which is expensive. Can anyone help with any alternatives or a less expensive route or any information?

 

Not sure if it is mandatory updating the software to calibrate TPMS, unless the new sensors are different in some way than the older ones. If you are looking for a less expensive option, you could invest in Ross-Tech VAG-CAN and try yourself using the info above.




Channel 65 will tell your sensors are registering properly or not. More advanced calibration/adaption parameters should be accessible using code: 10896


(I have not verified the code since I simply turned off my TPMS disabling the module)


Cheers,

 

rjosiah, if you still have the old TPMS for the old rims just clone them. Even the 'lowly' Tire Warehouse can do this... and this is what we did when I replaced the Pirelli P Zero with Mich PSS as the old TMPS sensors were getting on in the years and needed replacing.


By cloning them the car's computer 'sees' the exact some sensors and thus no reprogramming of the car is needed.

 

''The Bentley Dealership states that I have to get the computer module that controls the TPMS updated so that they can install the latest calibration''.

rjosiah,
I have had my sensors replaced last week and after following the standard recognition procedure( I had to drive for about 40' before the sensors where ''seen'') my module ''found'' them and everything is working fine.
no need to do any expensive ''updating''....

so either you have to replace your computer module (800€ in France !) because it's ''dead'', either your Bentley dealer just want to make some easy money on your account.

 

Hi, i installed new sensors due to missing them in wheels at all. I think previous owner just removed them. They picked up just fine and showing pressures correctly, but sometimes when i do high speed driving for a while let's say about 100mph i get error that there is fault in tpms.
Anyone else has or has this issue?

Cheers

 

The TPMS is useless and unnecessary complication. Checking tire pressure visually and using a gauge is very easy/
