Self Study Program 861603 – Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems

VAG SSP 861603. Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) monitor the inflation pressure of the tires. They can warn the driver about dangerous changes in pressure and send a signal when the actual tire pressure deviates from the specified tire pressure.

Tire pressure affects:

  • Road safety
  • Comfort
  • Service life of the tires
  • Fuel consumption

In Volkswagen vehicles, the tire pressure is monitored using two different systems:

  • The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with wheel position recognition in the Touareg and Phaeton
  • The TPMS without wheel position recognition in the Passat, Jetta, GTI, Rabbit, and Eos
