I have removed any items that found no faults.... The reason I am checking is that I keep getting a flat tire warning on my TPMS system.

You will find the part# expansion/explanation imbedded in your VAG printout. (Peter)

 

Thank you Peter, any thoughts on any of these effecting the TPMS system? Causing the Flat Tyre warning?

 

There are three basic components to the TPMS system. Obviously, there are the sensors in the wheels which are battery-based. Second, there is the control module which receives and interprets the data from the sensors and finally, the subset within the Infotainment display which "talks" to the control module. I suspect the visual error you are referring to is in the small center pane within the driver's display (between the tach and the speedo). If I am correct, this error is usually due to the sensor batteries expiring (although it could be the control module). Many of us end up disarming the TPMS system (because it is a PITA) by removing fuse #11 in the left hand trunk fuse panel and then resetting the system to make the car believe there is no TPMS. This gets rid of the error. Note: if you disarm the TPMS and then run a scan, you will always get an error code for the infotainment head as it is registering that no TPMS system exists. There is an excellent post on this forum on how to do this reset. Your VAG can effect the programming. Please post a pic of the error you are getting in order to confirm my suspicions.

 

Quick question on your comment on the sensors... can the batteries be replaced or is the only option to replace them?

 

The sensors are a complete unit (i.e. the batteries cannot be replaced). They generally last about five years. Also note that the sensors are year-specific so make sure you acquire sensors for your vehicle. A word of caution: if the control module is defective, replacing the sensors won't fix anything. Most garages can quickly test whether your sensors are working. The VAS 5054A can poll the control unit to see if it is defective.

 

Is this the same VAS 5054A you are referring too?

Does this tool also allow for making changes? I am still trying to figure out how to use the VAG COM I have and don't want to make any changes until I know what I am doing.

 

I purchased my VAS5054A as a complete military-grade computer system from Rugged Computing in the UK. I bought it three years ago for about $900.00 Cdn. What you have identified appears to be the "dongle" (i.e. connector) and the supporting software. In my experience, forget about the BT interface as it has intermittent failures. I ONLY use the USB interface. If you pursue this product, ensure it will run on your operating system.

The VAS5054A is designed for Bentley techs and is somewhat confusing to those of us not familiar with British nomenclature or deep-level diags. However, once mastered, you can in fact change just about everything. There are certain capabilities that require a dealer code and direct access to the Bentley factory (e.g. key coding).
