To reset the tire pressure sensor in a 2013 VW Passat, turn off the vehicle. Next, turn the key to the “on” position without starting the engine. Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times. Release the button, start the car, and wait for 20 minutes for the sensor to refresh.
Once the tires are properly inflated, the next step involves resetting the TPMS light. Consult your owner’s manual for specific instructions, as the procedure may vary by model year. Generally, you will need to turn on the ignition without starting the engine. Press the TPMS reset button, typically located beneath the steering wheel or in the central console. Hold this button until the indicator blinks three times, then release it.
If the TPMS light remains on after these steps, there may be an issue with the sensor itself. A faulty sensor or a dead battery inside the sensor may require replacement. Consider visiting a professional mechanic for further diagnosis.
