Disable TPMS on 08 = FAIL ?!

**minameismud** · 12-04-2008 07:16 AM

hi guys

last night i finally put on my winter rims & tires (finally mounted!). the rims don't have the tpms sensors, but i read on this board that tpms can be disabled. i used this thread. after i got everything set, i drove my car around the block last night - no beeping or tpms warnings. fifteen minutes into my drive to work today, the tpms light came on flashing and the top section of the DIS showed "TPMS" in orange. after a minute or so, the tpms light stopped flashing and remained on steady.

1. if i didn't disable tpms properly, how do i do that?
2. WHAT THE !$@#%! DID I CHANGE IF IT WASN'T TPMS?!

Select -> 17-Instruments -> Adaptation -> Channel 61.

Subtract 512 from whatever value you find there.

I just went yesterday to have it disabled. The tech did it with the procedure above and it worked great. I have an A4 08. I drove it 2 hours since and it did not come back.

right, i did exactly all that. the value at 61 was 3843 and i changed it to 3331, and i still go the tpms error on the drive in today.

My TPMS sensors took a little while to kick on after I removed my stock Ti rims also. I haven't gotten around to Vaging it yet..just kind of dealt with the light.
