If those are original sensors than their batteries are dead for sure. You need new sensors. You can buy them here way cheaper than OEM and they work for many of us.

There is a measuring block but I can't remember which one.
Scroll through module [65] and you will see it in the plain text description window.

The number of months is remaining per Seb @ Ross-Tech: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho....php?t=2810739

EDIT: Also check the frequency matches per the Ross-Tech Wiki http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index...itoring#Coding

Valve caps - Are they specific to TMPS?

Can one use any valve cap or does one need to use caps specific to TPMS?

thanks

Just colored plastic...

The "official" cap itself is just a gray colored version of a simple plastic cap. The gray is actually a color code tied to the valve stem's length. The stem design is specific to the TPMS sensors, but not that cap.
