VW Arteon TPMS Sensor Failure Needs Replacement Fix

Had the same tire pressure sensor fault on my 2017 VW Passat. After proper tire inflation and multiple resets, the warning kept returning. A sensor diagnostic revealed two failed TPMS sensors, the batteries were completely drained. The tire pressure monitoring system uses individual sensors mounted inside each tire. When these sensor batteries die, they stop transmitting signals to the control unit. This creates persistent warnings even with correct tire pressure. The repair required removing all tires, testing each sensor, and replacing the faulty units. Since TPMS sensors typically last 5-7 years, having multiple failures at once is common. This wasnt a serious mechanical issue, but definitely needed professional attention since it affects the safety monitoring system. For proper fix: Full system diagnostic scan, Testing all tire pressure sensors, Replacing failed sensors, Programming new sensors to vehicle, Resetting tire pressure monitoring system Important: Continuing to drive with faulty sensors means losing active tire pressure monitoring, which is a safety concern. Best to have all sensors checked when one fails, as others may follow soon.

Thanks for the detailed reply on the tire pressure sensor issue. I followed your advice and had all sensors tested at a shop. They found three failed TPMS sensors in total. Good call on checking them all at once. The flat tire warnings have completely stopped after the replacement. Just wondering, what was your total cost for the sensor replacement and programming? In my case, it came to 480€ for three sensors plus labor. Also, have you experienced any other TPMS-related problems since your repair? My 2020 Arteon is running perfectly now but would appreciate hearing about your long-term experience with the new sensors.

Glad your tire pressure monitoring system is working properly now. After my sensor replacement back then, I paid 280€ total for the repair, including labor and programming. That was for two sensors, so your cost for three seems in line with current market rates. The good news is I have not experienced any TPMS issues since the repair. The system has been working flawlessly, providing accurate tire pressure readings and proper alerts when needed. The air pressure monitoring works exactly as intended now, and I have complete confidence in the system. What made a big difference was having a proper diagnostic scan done first, which pinpointed the exact sensors that needed replacement. The flat tire warnings completely stopped after the repair, just like in your case. The investment was worth it for the peace of mind of having working pressure monitoring. Just remember to have your tire pressure checked regularly with a pressure gauge, even with working sensors. This helps catch any potential issues early and extends the life of your new TPMS sensors.

Just got back from the repair shop and wanted to share my experience. The mechanic ran a full diagnostic scan which found three faulty TPMS sensors. No wonder the tire pressure warning kept coming back despite proper tire inflation. Total cost was 480€ for three new sensors, programming, and labor. The shop had to remove all tires to access and replace the sensors. They also did a complete tire pressure check and system reset after installation. The repair took about 2 hours total. Been driving for a week now and the TPMS system works perfectly, no more unusual warnings on the dash. Really glad I got this fixed since driving without proper tire pressure monitoring was making me nervous about safety. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction with the sensor diagnosis. The mechanic confirmed the TPMS batteries were dead, just as you described. Money well spent to have the system working correctly again.
