JimS8 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 The battery on one of the wheel sensors on my 2001 S8 (D2) ran down a while back and so I switched off the system via the DIS menu as it's not worth buying a replacement. Now the control unit has packed up too, and I have a permanent yellow warning displayed in the DIS which I can't get rid of using the menu. I have found some posts on other forums re other models which suggest that the TPMS can be disabled using VCDS (Vag-Com), but I haven't managed to find anything specific to this model . Can anyone offer any help on this please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsYcHe Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 It's likely to be in the coding for the central module (07). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimS8 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 In case it's of interest to anyone else, I tried the suggestion from the other forums and it worked. I.e.: "Address 17 - Instruments Adaptation Channel 61 Default: 3843 Subtract 512 to remove TPMS = 3331" The value for my car under channel 61 was 768, not 3843, so I subtracted 512 and reset it to 256, and Bob's your uncle, the TPMS is disabled and the yellow warning has gone!
