Changing Wheels With Tire Pressure Monitoring System: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Wheels, Changing

If wheels are changed (for example change from summer to winter tires), wheel electronics send data as soon as speed of new wheels exceeds 25 km/h. Wheel electronics identification numbers are automatically recognized and read by control module.

An acceleration data check also occurs with vehicle speed. This process takes about 7 minutes.

Tire pressure monitoring control module -J502- must first be in learning mode before it can automatically learn wheel electronics.

Vehicle must stand for 20 minutes for this. This takes 5 minutes after a recognized tire puncture.

If the standing time is not followed, control module is not in learning mode so system recognizes a malfunction and can only automatically learn wheel electronics after standing 20 minutes.

NOTE:

When changing wheels, be sure to install only Volkswagen approved wheel/tires combinations with tire pressures listed on the tank flap.

If unapproved wheel/tire combinations are installed, these must have a T U V certificate for the particular vehicle and a 2nd wheel set must be learned via the vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system VAS 5051B TIRES, WHEELS WITH TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM => Wheel sets with other specified tire pressures .

Learning is also needed if tire pressure deviates from pressures given on fuel filler flap.
