Default TPMS question...

2006 Avant, changed the TPMS sensors last winter. Lately the chime and symbol for a failure in the system (flat tire icon) shows up every time I use the car. The 'change wheels' menu option only removes the trouble light while the system is recalibrating, then it returns.

It could be that just one sensor needs to be re-booted by letting the air out and re-inflating, but I would like to know whats up...will the VAG-Com identify which sensor(s) not working ?

I suspect VCDS will tell you which corner of the car is having a problem.


Can the shop that installed the sensors help you out? They typically have their "black box" that checks each sender to verify its operation...
