Volkswagen Tiguan Service and Repair Manual: Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with Autolocation
General Information
Note
- The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) specified within this section
refers to the optional TPMS, which employs individual pressure sensors to
determine individual tire pressures.
- The base TPMS does not employ individual pressure sensors to determine
individual tire pressures, but instead is an integral part of the Antilock
Brake System (ABS). For more information on the ABS.
- The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) has running changes that
replace the current tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
- The system currently uses sensors in the tires to report the air
pressure on the Tire Pressure Monitoring Control Module -J502-.
- With the function "Autolocation", the system can display the tire
pressures and warnings in the correct positions in the instrument cluster
after a shorter distance.
- The "intelligent antenna" is a combination of the tire pressure
monitoring control module and a central reception antenna.
- It is not necessary to perform a manual adapting after replacing the
wheel electronics or after changing tires. The tire pressure monitoring
system automatically recognized the tire pressure sensors and adapts them as
soon as the vehicle drives off.
Additional information concerning the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
with Auto-location may be found in Self Study Program.

See Which Version Is Installed Before Starting Any Work.
I - Service Version
The tire pressure monitoring sensor is attached to the valve with an inner
TORX screw -1- on the
Service version.
If the service version is installed, the following repair procedure must be
used.
II - Production Version
The tire pressure monitoring sensor is attached to the valve with a square
screw with a flat head -2- on vehicles before

while doing so.
Installing
Caution
Clean the valve opening before installing the Tire Pressure Monitoring
Sensor.
- Press the tire pressure monitoring sensor -1-
onto the disc wheel (rim) and tighten -arrow-.
- Counterhold metal valve using retainer (for example 2 mm spiral bore)
while doing so.
Note
- Visually check the valve after installing it and make sure it is tight.
The tire pressure monitoring sensor -1- must
not have any play when it is installed and it must touch the supports in the
rim bed.
- Do not tighten the valve again to the tightening specification after it
