0:13
Car Justify whether you're driving an A4
0:16
Q5 or even an older A3 I'll show you the
0:20
fastest way to reset the tire pressure
0:21
monitoring system the right way no tools
0:24
just what's already in your car start by
0:27
checking all four tires with a reliable
0:29
gauge audi typically recommends around
0:31
32 to 36 PSI but you should go by the
0:34
sticker inside the driver's door set
0:36
each tire to the correct pressure and
0:38
don't forget the spare if your model
0:40
monitors that too once that's done get
0:43
in the car and turn on the ignition but
0:45
don't start the engine now depending on
0:47
your model year and system there are two
0:49
common ways to reset TPMS through the
0:51
MMI screen or using a physical button if
0:54
your Audi has an MMI system that's the
0:56
screen in the center dash press the car
0:58
button then select servicing and checks
1:01
then go to tire pressure monitoring from
1:03
there choose store tire pressures or
1:05
reset and confirm the system will save
1:08
your current tire pressures as the new
1:10
baseline if you don't have an MMI screen
1:12
look for a TPMS reset button it's
1:15
usually located near the gear shifter
1:17
glove box or under the steering wheel
1:19
press and hold that button until the
1:20
TPMS light blinks or goes off that tells
1:23
you the system is relearning after the
1:25
reset drive the car for a few miles so
1:27
the system can verify everything's
1:29
normal the light should stay off if it
1:31
comes back on double check for a slow
1:32
leak or a damaged tire quick recap check
1:36
and inflate all tires to the recommended
1:38
seaside use the MMI or the reset button
1:41
to store the new pressures drive a few
1:43
miles to complete the relearn light
1:46
stays off if everything's working right
1:48
one note Audi's TPMS doesn't use sensors
1:50
inside the wheels in most models it
1:52
tracks tire pressure indirectly by
1:54
measuring wheel speed so when tire
1:56
pressure changes it sees that as a
1:59
rolling diameter issue resetting tells
2:01
it what's normal now that's it fast
2:04
simple and no scan tool needed if this
