6 Tyre monitor display
General notes:
The tyre pressure monitor system is part of the software in the
ABS control unit -J104- . The system is used to detect slow tyre
pressure loss from a wheel. Fault memory entries for the tyre
monitor display are stored in the ABS control unit -J104- . The tyre
pressure display compares the wheel speeds and consequently
the rolling circumference of the individual wheels via the ABS
sensors.
After the following work or modifications, the tyre pressure mon‐
itor display button -E492- must be pressed and held until a
confirmation is sounded.
♦ Change in tyre pressure
♦ Changing one or more wheels
♦ Interchanging wheels, e.g. from front to rear
A change in the wheel's rolling circumference will be indicated by
the TPM warning lamp -K220- lighting up in the instrument cluster.
A tyre's rolling circumference may change as a result of:
♦ Insufficient tyre inflation pressure.
♦ Structural tyre damage.
♦ One-sided loading of vehicle.
♦ Increased load on one axle, e.g. due to towing a trailer.
♦ Use of snow chains.
♦ Spare wheel installed.
♦ Wheel renewal.
System fault in the ABS system.
If a fault in the ABS is displayed by the ESP and TCS warning
lamp -K155- or the traction control system warning lamp -K86- ,
then the tyre pressure monitor warning lamp -K220- -arrow- will
also light up. However, no fault will be stored in the system for the
tyre monitor display.
The warning lamp cannot be extinguished by pressing the TPM
button -E492- . In this case, please carry out the following steps:
– Connect vehicle diagnosis, testing and information system -
VAS 5051- and select “Guided fault finding” ⇒ Vehicle diag‐
nosis, testing and information system VAS 5051.
