T6.1 Tyre Pressure Monitoring System Activation (Indirect TPMS)

[Robco]

Not sure what you mean - tyre size selection? For passive TPMS there is no selections - just the below (SET).

This is the screen I do not have even after rechecking all the coding and adaptions ?

Just to double(triple)check please post
A) VCDS Auto-Scan and adaptation map from 5F - before any changes were made
B) Current VCDS Auto-Scan and adaptation map from 5F

Ok will do later today see how work goes

 

[Robco]

All don't know what I did differently but rechecked all changes all good saved everything, closed bonnet cycled ignition and now I have the TPMS screen.
Thankyou all for your help and hard work.
What else can changed ?
Once again THANKYOU

Just got a VCDS and would like to have TPMS on my 2022 T6.1. Is there a chance of someone doing a quick video of the steps to enable indirect TPMS?

Is anybody or place in London or nearby able to help me with this? I failed a mot today as can't get rid of tyre pressure warning light. Local vw garage don't wanna help. Happy to pay for your service. Matthew.baker@me.com

To activate TPMS we are going to start with module 03 ABS

Enter module 3 and then go into coding/long coding helper
In here we need to change the five values below, its important that all five are changed at the same time, changing them one at a time does not work and will generate an error
Byte 0 Bit 5 - 0
Byte 6 Bit 3 - 0
Byte 8 Bit 2 - 0
Byte 14 Bit 4 - 0
Byte 17 Bit 4 - 1

save the changes and exit
dont worry if faults appear they will sort them selves out when the rest of the programming is done

--------------------------------------------------------------

Now we are going to move on to module 17 instruments

Enter module 17 and then go into coding/long coding helper
Find Byte 4 Bit 0 and turn on (put a tick in the box)

save the changes and exit

--------------------------------------------------------------

Lastly is module 5F infotainment

Enter module 5F and then go into adaptions
All should show 'not active' so need to be changed to the below values (its quite a long list so use the search box to shortcut to 'rdk' and '0x07' channels)

ENG122227-ENG117541-Car_Function_Adaptions_Gen2-menu_display_rdk = activated
ENG122227-ENG117543-Car_Function_Adaptions_Gen2-menu_display_rdk_over_threshold_high = activated
ENG122229-ENG117704-Car_Function_List_BAP_Gen2-tire_pressure_system_0x07 = activated
ENG122229-ENG117705-Car_Function_List_BAP_Gen2-tire_pressure_system_0x07_msg_bus = Extended data bus

Thats it, everything can be saved and exited, after all changes are made reset any fault codes that are showing

Just activated indirect TPMS this morning using the settings detailed in this post and it works. Thanks Pauly

Hi

Now have same issue. 6.1 Kombi with tyre warning light after fitting 20s with std valves

Did you find someone in London/Essex area that can help?

Thanks

Ok but why do I not have the extra slot in the vehical menus for the TPMS

Hi, did you resolve the tire warning light not going off. I have the same problem on my 2021 T6.1.

Tire pressures are fine. I followed the steps above to get the TPMS screen, click ‘set’ but the light won’t go off.

Been told by garage that did its first service that this will fail the MOT.

Thanks

Hi Mate, can you help me with the chances I need to make in the ABS for the coding for TPMS on T6.1.

Here is my ABS coding. Thanks

 

[Pauly]

Just follow the steps in post 1, coding changes are just tick boxes

I'm not using VCDS, van is too new and VCDS doesn't support it yet. Using Autel to do it so the tick box option isn't available on there

More likely your VCDS dongle is too old

Hi there, I tried this as we have the tpms direct system but no change, is this only for those who did not have it as all??

 

[Pauly]

Dont see why you would want both active !
I think you would need to disable/remove direct to activate indirect, its likely there would be some coding/adaption conflicts

 

[4x4rob]

Thanks Pauly, would you know that procedure, I have 3 vans with direct tpms faults , sensors missing and one Brocken

 

[Pauly]

Sorry mate, no
It should be relatively easy to disable it by coding out the direct tpms module from the gateway but there will be several adaption channels in the headunit and the cluster that would need to be changed to fully remove it

This is the details for activating indirect TPMS on any T6.1 vehicle that didnt get it from the factory (huge credit to @mmi for his assistance on this)

Firstly we need to understand what TPMS is, there are two types :

Indirect TPMS - This uses the ABS sensors to measure wheel rotation speed and will give you a dash warning light if any one of the wheels starts to lose pressure (causing that wheel to rotate faster relative to the other wheels) no pressure measurement is taken from the tyres

Direct TPMS - This uses a sensor inside each wheel to directly measure the current tyre pressure and temperature and displays these values inside the vehicle, a drop in pressure in any wheel/s will trigger an alert on the instrument cluster and the infotainment screen


Secondly we need to take backups of the vehicle configuration before we begin, always always take a full scan of the vehicle and save somewhere safe so you have a baseline of settings and things can be reverted if needs be
T6.1s use adaptions channels more than ever as well as basic coding so its important to do a full auto scan AND admaps so you have all the info to fall back on, it does take a little while to complete these scans but it will be a well spent half hour if you run into problems in the future doing this or any other mod !

Hi there. I have a 2022 T6.1 California Ocean with direct TPMS. I have bought a new genuine spare wheel. Should / can I put a TPMS valve in it? If so, do you know the part number please?
