6.1 General Information
The tire pressure monitoring system is included in the software in
the ABS Control Module - J104- . The system will recognize a
slow and gradual decrease in tire pressure on a wheel. The DTC
memory entries for tire pressure monitoring system are stored in
the ABS Control Module - J104- . With the help of the ABS speed
sensor, the TPMS compares the speed and rolling circumference
of the individuals tires.
After the following work and/or changes and with the ignition
switched on, the Tire Pressure Monitoring Display Button - E492-
must be pressed until the confirmation chime sounds:
♦ Tire pressure change
♦ A change in one or more tires
♦ Changing a tire, for example, from front to rear
If a tire has changed in circumference, the Tire Pressure Moni‐
toring Display Indicator Lamp - K220- in the instrument cluster will
come on. Rolling circumference of a tire may change due to:
♦ Insufficient tire pressure
♦ Structural damage on tires
♦ Vehicle is loaded heavily on one side
♦ High load on one axle, when towing trailer for example
♦ When snow chains are used
♦ Spare wheel is mounted
♦ One wheel is replaced
