Stubborn Audi RS5 TPMS Warning Won't Reset After Repair

I had a similar persistent TPMS issue with my 2011 Audi S5 last month. After checking the air pressure multiple times with a pressure gauge and confirming proper inflation, the warning light remained active. The root cause turned out to be failing TPMS sensor batteries. These sensors communicate wirelessly with the car computer, and when their batteries deplete, they stop transmitting accurate tire pressure readings. Each wheel has its own sensor mounted on the air valve assembly. The solution required replacing all four TPMS sensors since they were all nearing end of life. This is a common maintenance item around 100000km mark. While not a critical safety issue if you regularly check tire pressure manually, functioning TPMS provides important real-time pressure monitoring during driving. The repair process involves dismounting each tire, replacing the sensor units, and then reprogramming the new sensors to communicate with the car computer. After replacement, the warning cleared immediately and the system has worked flawlessly since. Consider having a complete TPMS sensor replacement if manual resets and recalibration attempts have failed. The symptoms match classic sensor battery failure, which is expected at your mileage.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the TPMS sensors. I had the exact same issue on my RS5 and also ended up replacing all sensors. The tire pressure warning was extremely annoying, especially since manual pressure checks showed everything was fine. Did you remember how much you paid for the full sensor replacement? My repair ended up being slightly costly due to the programming requirements, but at least the flat tire warnings finally stopped showing up on my dash. Also curious if youve had any other TPMS or tire pressure monitoring problems since getting it fixed? Just want to make sure I didnt overpay and that this is truly a long-term solution before recommending it to others with similar issues.

Great news, since replacing all TPMS sensors, the tire pressure monitoring system has worked perfectly with no sensor faults or false warnings. The total repair cost was 280 Euro which covered new sensors, labor for dismounting tires, and programming. This seems to be the standard fix when sensor batteries die around the 100000km mark. The flat tire warnings completely disappeared after the repair and regular tire pressure readings now display correctly on the dashboard. Based on the service interval for these sensors, this should resolve any TPMS issues for another 8-10 years of normal driving. For reference, the pressure gauge now shows consistent readings matching what the car computer displays, confirming the new sensors are communicating accurately. No more phantom low tire warnings or system malfunctions since the replacement. Given how critical proper tire pressure monitoring is for safety and performance, the repair cost was worthwhile for restoring full system functionality. Anyone experiencing similar persistent TPMS faults should definitely consider sensor replacement as a permanent solution.

Thanks everyone for the helpful advice! I finally got this sorted at my mechanic last week. The total repair came to 310 Euro for replacing all four TPMS sensors. Initially thought it was steep, but the constant tire pressure warnings were driving me crazy. The repair process was straightforward, they dismounted all tires, installed new sensor units, and reprogrammed the system. The pressure gauge readings now match perfectly with the dashboard display. Best of all, no more annoying sensor fault messages popping up during drives. My mechanic mentioned these TPMS issues are pretty common around 100000km when the sensor batteries start failing. He showed me the old sensors and you could clearly see they were original equipment. The new ones should last another 8-10 years. Really glad to have this fixed properly. The tire pressure monitoring system works flawlessly now, and I can finally trust the readings again. Money well spent considering the safety aspect of having working TPMS sensors.
