Applies to: vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system
If the tyre pressure monitoring system is inoperative, the indicator lamp will appear on the driver information system display. In addition, the indicator lamp will flash for about one minute every time you switch on the ignition. It will not be possible to select the tyre pressure monitoring system on the infotainment system. This fault can have the following causes:
- If the display appears at the end of the initialisation process, this means that the system cannot identify the road wheels currently on the vehicle. This can happen if one or more of the tyres fitted does not have a sensor or the sensors are incompatible.
- One of the wheel sensors or another component may not be working.
- Snow chains interfere with the signals transmitted by the sensors and can prevent the system from functioning properly.
- The tyre pressure monitoring system may be inoperative due to radio interference.
- Radio systems operating on the same frequency, such as radio headphones or two-way radios inside the vehicle, produce strong electromagnetic fields which cause temporary interference.
The indicator lamp will go out as soon as the tyre pressure monitoring system is available again. If the fault persists and the indicator lamp stays on, you should drive to a qualified workshop and have the fault rectified.
