ATEQ TPMS Reset Procedure: Notes

NOTE: Whenever a wheel is changed or replaced, or whenever vehicle has been loaded, the TPMS needs to be reset.

NOTE: When the low tire pressure warning light comes on, check air pressure of all tires and adjust to the specified pressure. Reset TPMS. If light is still on, there is a malfunction in the TPMS. See appropriate manufacturer service information. Under the following conditions, the system may not function properly:

Insufficient tire pressure.
Structural damage on tires.
Load on vehicle on one side.
One axle is heavily loaded (i.e., when pulling a trailer).
When snow chains are used.
When spare wheel is installed.
One wheel is replaced.
Tire pressure sensor battery is depleted (7-10 year life span).

CAUTION: DO NOT reset TPMS until all problems are fixed and tire pressure in all tires has been adjusted. If reset procedure is done when tire pressures are incorrect, TPMS will not work properly and may not set an alert when a tire pressure is low or high.

Whenever a wheel is changed or replaced, see "Basic Setting".
If wheels are changed and replaced with manufacturer-approved wheel/tire combinations (i.e., from summer to winter tires) or if tire pressure deviates from pressures given on fuel filler flap, see "After Wheel Or Pressure Change".
If vehicle is equipped with unapproved tires or tires with pressures other than those listed on fuel filler flap (a 2nd wheel set), a Volkswagen VAS 5051B scan tool is required in order to register sensor IDs.
