General information

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 17 other vehicles, including the 2009 Audi S4, 2009 Audi A4, 2008 Audi S4, 2008 Audi RS 4, and 2008 Audi A4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Observe notes about usage in your Owners Manual.

Damaged wheel electronics or valves should be replaced for safety reasons.

Do not clean wheel electronics with steam blasting or strong compressed air.

Replace wheel electronics after using tire sealant as the accumulation of sealant on the pressure sensor can cause false readings.

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System monitors the pressure of the 4 tires while driving.

If wheel positions on vehicle are changed or wheels or wheel sensors replaced, this must be confirmed using the steering column or the control module in the center console. Finally, the system has to relearn the wheel sensors.

NOTE:
  • When changing wheels with wheel electronics (summer/winter tires), pressure must be checked and control module must relearn wheel electronics.

A fault may be saved in the DTC memory if: 

Less than three wheels with wheel electronics are installed.

Winter tires without wheel electronics are installed. (If this is the case, the yellow warning lamp in instrument cluster is set and cannot be deactivated by the system.)
