What the tire pressure light means on a Volkswagen Tiguan

The tire pressure warning is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When it stays lit steadily, one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the placard inside the driver's door jamb. Tire pressure can drop about one psi for every ten degrees, so a cold night may bring on the warning. If the light flashes for about a minute when the Volkswagen Tiguan starts and then remains illuminated, the tire-pressure monitoring system has a fault, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down. Underinflation causes a tire to wear faster and run hotter, so pressure should be set at the next stop. A diagnosis identifies whether the concern is tire pressure, a leak, or the monitoring system.

What the diagnosis covers at Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood

The inspection begins with a pressure check of every monitored tire against the placard on the driver's door jamb. Each tire-pressure sensor is scanned for its signal and battery status. The inspection also looks for punctures and leaking valve stems, helping separate a tire that needs air or repair from a sensor that needs replacing. After sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the monitoring system can recognize the serviced components. This process addresses a light that appeared after a temperature drop, a warning that remains on despite tires looking full, or a light that flashes at start-up.
