Frequently asked questions
2016 Volkswagen Eos Komfort shown

The tire pressure light on a Volkswagen Eos means one or more monitored tires is at least 25 percent below the pressure shown on the driver's door-jamb placard, or that the tire-pressure monitoring system has a fault. The symbol is a horseshoe-shaped tire outline with an exclamation point inside. Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Tucson in Tucson, AZ, provides tire pressure light diagnosis for Volkswagen Eos models across all model years. The service checks each tire's pressure, verifies every sensor's signal and battery status, and looks for punctures or leaking valve stems so the cause can be identified and addressed.

What the tire pressure light means on a Volkswagen Eos

A steadily illuminated tire pressure light means one or more tires is at least 25 percent below the placard pressure. This can happen after a cold night because tire pressure drops about one psi for every ten degrees. A tire may look fully inflated while still needing attention, so the pressure should be set at the next stop. If the light flashes for about a minute at start-up and then stays on, the tire-pressure monitoring system itself has a fault, usually involving a sensor whose battery has run down. An underinflated tire wears faster and runs hotter. The tire pressure light should not be dismissed, especially when the warning remains on after checking the tires.

What the diagnosis covers at Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Tucson

The diagnosis begins with a pressure check of every monitored tire against the placard on the driver's door jamb. Each tire-pressure sensor is scanned for its signal and battery status. The inspection also looks for punctures and leaking valve stems, helping separate a tire that needs air or a repair from a sensor that needs replacing. After sensor or tire work, the system is relearned so the vehicle can recognize the serviced components. Drivers noticing a steady or flashing warning can schedule service at Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Tucson.
