Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen Tire Pressure Light

On the Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen, the tire pressure light means one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver’s door-jamb placard, or that the tire-pressure monitoring system has a fault. The symbol looks like a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. A steadily illuminated light calls for pressure to be checked and set at the next stop, while a light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then remains on points to a monitoring-system fault. Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Avondale in Avondale, AZ, checks the tires, sensors, valve stems, and system operation so the cause can be identified.

What the tire pressure light means on a Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen

The tire pressure warning is shown as a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. When it stays steadily illuminated, one or more tires is at least 25 percent below the pressure printed on the driver’s door-jamb placard. This can happen after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every 10 degrees, and an underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter. The pressure should be set at the next stop.

If the tires look fully inflated but the light remains on, the system still needs to be checked against the placard pressure and its sensor signals examined. A light that flashes for about a minute at startup and then stays on indicates a fault in the monitoring system, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down.

What the diagnosis covers at Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Avondale

Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Avondale checks the pressure of every monitored tire against the driver’s door-jamb placard. The inspection also includes a scan of each tire-pressure sensor’s signal and battery status, helping separate a tire that needs air or a repair from a sensor that needs replacing.

The service also includes checking for punctures and leaking valve stems. After sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the monitoring equipment can recognize the serviced tires. Drivers noticing a steady warning, a light that remains on despite full-looking tires, or a flashing warning can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Avondale.
