Fitted new battery a couple of days ago.. then the ABS , EPC, and low tire pressure warning lights came on can’t get them off … any ideas????

Hi, Have you taken it for a blast?

Plus how the hell do you get low tire pressure light off !!! I’ve pressed reset button on wiper stalk gone through menu it’s not on there …
Pressed button near gear stick won’t do a thing

Just drive it for a few miles (edit: ok, just seen reply)

Hoggy.

Been driving it for 3 days not long runs though..

 

[JayDav]

Do you think it needs a blast down motorway??

 

[Jezzie]

No, few miles is tons.
I don't think this is related to the new battery. It has the symptoms of a wheel speed sensor failing - that throws ABS, EPC and TPMS errors. You need a diagnostic scan...
Wheel speed sensor is inexpensive and easily replaced.

Hi, No a quick run around the block is usually enough.
Can you scan to check & reset the faults? as that is probably required.

cheers Jezzie … I’ve got it booked in morning for a scan…

Ive got my own scanner but it’s not showing any faults … frustrating as lol

 

[JayDav]

Plus how do you reset low tire pressure light… driving me nuts!!!!

 

[MarkTheShark]

What scanner? These need VAG specific.

 

[JayDav]

A cheap 30 quider from eBay lol…

Don’t know the model/year of your car but between certain dates tpms uses wheel speed sensor to identify a wheel with low pressure (reduced circumference)

I’ve got a 2007

Check the owners manual for tpms stuff.

Didn't know that jezzie i assumed they were all valve types.

 

[Hoggy]

Hi, Most MK2s use the ABS sensors, so should be easy enough to reset, even if tyres pressures incorrect
Wait until you get it scanned with a VAG specific scanner.

Havnt got an owners manual didn’t come with one ffs lol ….

 

[MarkTheShark]

Not end of the world i am sure it will be covered in the knowledge base here.

You don't need to blast anywhere, just a casual drive around the block for 5-10 minutes will provide enough time for the ECU to reset the faults.

However, to reset it the TMPS, you have to press and hold the TPMS button until the DIS beeps. Just make sure all your tires are at the correct pressure before you do.

FAQ - Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

There are two versions of TPMS for the Mk2; direct and indirect. North American TTs have direct with tire pressure sensors built into the valve stems. European are indirect using a sensor to detect change in wheel diameter based on rotation speed to determine if there's a loss of pressure. For...

You can find an owners manual here. It might not be for your location or year, but it should at least point you in the right direction.
