Frequently asked questions
2016 Volkswagen Eos Komfort shown

On a Volkswagen Eos, the tire pressure light means one or more monitored tires may be at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver's door-jamb placard, or the tire pressure monitoring system may have a fault. The symbol looks like a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. A steady light calls for tire pressure to be checked and set at the next stop, while a light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays on indicates a system issue that needs diagnosis. Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Avondale provides tire pressure light service for Volkswagen Eos models in Avondale, Arizona, helping separate a tire that needs air or repair from a sensor that may need attention.

Drivers can book this diagnostic service at Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Avondale in Avondale, AZ.

What the tire pressure light means on a Volkswagen Eos

The tire pressure warning is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When it stays steadily illuminated, one or more monitored tires are at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver's door-jamb placard. That can happen after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees. A steady warning means the pressure should be checked and set at the next stop; an underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter.

If the light flashes for about a minute after startup and then remains illuminated, the tire pressure monitoring system itself has a fault. A sensor with a run-down battery is usually involved, according to the service guidance for this warning. The light may also remain on even when the tires appear fully inflated, making a complete pressure and sensor check important.

What the diagnosis covers at Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Avondale

The tire pressure light service includes a pressure check of every monitored tire against the placard on the Volkswagen Eos driver's door jamb. Each tire pressure sensor's signal and battery status are scanned so the diagnosis can distinguish a tire-pressure concern from a monitoring-system fault.

The inspection also looks for punctures and leaking valve stems. After sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the vehicle can properly recognize the monitored tires. This visit checks every tire and every sensor, giving the service team the information needed to identify whether a tire needs air or repair, or whether a sensor needs replacing.
