TPMS Tire pressure monitoring system
malfunction
A malfunction can have various causes.

[I]
warning light in the instrument cluster
flashes for approximately one minute and then
remains continuously illuminated and additional-
ly
the m
symbol appears in the display, the tire
pressure monitoring system is not available. The
198
text
Tire pressure! System malfunction
appears
in the display. This can have various causes.
- A wheel sensor or other component may have
failed.
- During initialization the system has detected
more than 4 wheels on the vehicle, for example
while driving next to another car with a tire
pressure monitoring system.
- Audi replacement parts were not used.
- If snow cha ins are being used, system function
can be compromised due to the shielding prop-
erties of the chains .
- The tire pressure monitoring system may not
be available because of a rad io malfunction.
- Transmitters with the same frequency, such as
radio headphones in the vehicle or radio equip-
ment, can cause a temporary disruption of the
system through excessive electromagnetic
fields .
- Eliminate the interference if you can and then
proceed as follows: Turn off the engine for 20
minutes. Then drive another 10 minutes.
If
the
warning light comes on again, you should con-
tact your authorized Audi dealer immediately
to have the problem corrected.
- Do not use commercially available tire sealants.
Otherwise, the electrical components of the
tire pressure monitoring system will no longer
work properly and the sensor for the tire pres-
sure monitoring system will have to be replaced
by a qualified workshop.
