To reset the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) on an Audi A4, follow these steps:
-
Audi A4 Tyre Pressure Reset: Check Tire Pressures:
- Before resetting the system, ensure all four tires are inflated to the recommended pressure. You can find this information in the owner’s manual or on a sticker inside the driver’s door frame.
-
Turn on the Ignition:
- Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "ON" position, but don't start the engine. In some models, you might need to press the "Start" button without pressing the brake pedal.
-
Navigate to the Tire Pressure Menu:
- On the dashboard, use the steering wheel buttons or MMI (Multi Media Interface) to navigate to the "Car" or "Vehicle" menu.
- From the "Car" menu, find the "TPMS" or "Tire Pressure" option.
-
Select the TPMS Reset Option:
- Once in the TPMS menu, select the option to reset or recalibrate the tire pressure monitoring system. This can sometimes be listed as "Reset," "Relearn," or "Set."
- Follow any on-screen prompts or instructions.
-
Confirm the Reset:
- After selecting the reset option, the system will begin to recalibrate. Wait a few moments until the process completes. The TPMS light on the dashboard should turn off once the reset is successful.
-
Drive the Car:
- After resetting, drive the car for a short distance (usually around 10-15 minutes) at speeds above 30 mph. This allows the system to learn the new tire pressures and properly reset itself.
Additional Notes:
- If the tire pressure light remains on after following these steps, there may be a sensor malfunction, low tire pressure, or an issue with the system that needs professional attention.
- Some models of the Audi A4 may require a specialized tool or a visit to a dealership to reset the TPMS if there’s a deeper issue with the sensors.
