System fault in the ABS system > < Tyre pressure monitor display
General
General
The tyre pressure monitor system is part of the software in the ABS control unit -J104-. The system is used to detect slow tyre pressure loss from a wheel. Event memory entries for the tyre monitor display are stored in the ABS control unit -J104-. The tyre pressure display compares the wheel speeds and consequently the rolling circumference of the individual wheels via the ABS sensors.
After the following work or modifications, the tyre pressure monitor display button -E492- must be pressed and held until a confirmation is sounded.
t  Change in tyre pressure
t  Changing one or more wheels
t  Interchanging wheels, e.g. from front to rear
A change in the wheel's rolling circumference will be indicated by the TPM warning lamp -K220- lighting up in the instrument cluster. A tyre's rolling circumference may change as a result of:
t  Insufficient tyre inflation pressure.
t  Structural tyre damage.
t  One-sided loading of vehicle
t  Increased load on one axle, e.g. due to towing a trailer
t  Use of snow chains.
t  Spare wheel installed.
t  Wheel renewal.
