T6.1 Tyre Pressure Monitoring System Activation (Indirect TPMS)
- Thread starter Pauly
- Start date
Hey Pauly, do you know if this can be done via OBDeleven?
I got around to trying this today as I was updating my wheel size after installing 18” ROC on my van. Wheel size update went fine. Speedo now reads slightly under, which it should be 
Now onto TPMS. Had issues with setting the Bit values for under 03 ABS.
First off I’m running the latest version of VCDS (updated this morning) and HEX V2.
In the long coding window it shows no Bits when selecting the Byte.
Where the Bits should be there is a message in red that reads “Only Limited Coding Information is available for this Control Module
If you happen to need additional Details please email [email protected]
Coding is normally done using the Factory Tool and Software-Version-Management (SVM)”
Changing from Byte 0 to any other clears that message but does not show the Bits until you click on the highlighted Byte in the long code.
So was able to change 6, 8, 14, 17 but not 0.
Looking at how the Byte code is built I was able to work out what I believe is the correct code for Byte 0. It was 30, so I worked out what combo would create 30 and then worked out what the code would be if I set Bit 5 to 0. This gave me a Byte code of 10.
Submitted the updated long code and it was accepted.
Was then able to update all the other bits as per the instructions.
Now the TPMS shows up on my head unit (Composition Colour) but it’s not active. Test on that screen says “Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator currently not available”. If I press the set button I get an error saying it’s not activated.
My only guess is that the long code in 03 ABS must be wrong. Any thought or things I could try?

If you click the lcode2 tab it will give you access to all bytes and boxes, double check your coding
Go back to the start of page 2 of this thread and details are there
Just click OK and you'll get a blank coding template - tickboxes prefilled with your coding.
Well, if the tickboxes are missing, select LCode2 from menu line (allows to change any bit, not just the documented ones).

Yes. It's because indeed there is no documented coding information available for this specific controller.

Reset it all back to default and then redid each step. Had a few errors. Once cleared I was able to activate all the adaptions.
On resetting the ignition all was working
Thanks @Pauly and @mmi for sharing this.
Now I’ve run the battery down and it won’t turn over to start
Will jump start it after watching F1.

Hi, for those of you who want to use OBD Eleven to activate this function I've done an edit of Pauly's VCDS instructions.
OBD Eleven (This Needs - PRO Subscription)
Indirect TPMS – VW T6.1
To activate TPMS we are going to start with module ‘03 Brakes’
Enter module 3 and then go into ‘Long coding’ then click the icon top right, it’s the one with ones and zeros illustrated on it.
In here you need to change the five values below, it’s important that all five are changed at the same time, changing them one at a time does not work and will generate an error.
To do this click into the area labelled ‘Byte Index’ and type in the corresponding ‘Byte Index Numbers’ below, and click ‘Done’ to go directly to that ‘Byte’:
Note – when a Byte is changed it will be highlighted in green, this is normal. They will stay green until the entire code is saved using the bottom slider. Remember to only do this after all five changes have been made.
Byte Index 0 Remove the tick from the box next to ‘Bit 5’
Byte Index 6 Remove the tick from the box next to ‘Bit 3’
Byte Index 8 Remove the tick from the box next to ‘Bit 2’
Byte Index 14 Remove the tick from the box next to ‘Bit 4’
Byte Index 17 Place a tick in the box next to ‘Bit 4’
Slide the ‘Save slider’ to the right to save the changes and exit.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Now go to module ‘17 Dashboard’
Enter module 17 and then go into ‘Long coding’ and as above click the icon top right, click into the area labelled ‘Byte Index’ again, and type in the corresponding ‘Byte Index Numbers’ below:
Byte Index 4 Place a tick in the box next to ‘Bit 0’
Slide the ‘Save slider’ to the right to save the changes and exit.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The final module that needs changing is ‘5F Multimedia’
This time enter module 5F and then go into ‘Adaptions’ and NOT Long coding.
All should show 'not active' so need to be changed to the below values (it’s quite a long list so use the search box to shortcut to search for Car Function Adaptions Gen2 and Car Function List BAP Gen2 to speed things up)
Once found tap on ‘Car Function Adaptions Gen2’.
On the next page, search for:
Menu display rdk
In the drop down menu select ‘Activated’
Once found tap on ‘Car Function Adaptions Gen2’.
On the next page, search for:
‘Menu display rdk over threshold high’
In the drop down menu select ‘Activated’
Once found tap on ‘Car Function List BAP Gen2’.
On the next page, search for:
‘Tire pressure system 0x07’
In the drop down menu select ‘Activated’
Once found tap on ‘Car Function List BAP Gen2’.
On the next page, search for:
‘Tire pressure system 0x07 msg bus’
In the drop down menu select ‘Databus Extended’
Slide the ‘Save slider’ to the right to save the changes and exit.
That's it, after all changes are made reset any fault codes that are showing.
All (cold) tyre pressures should be checked and adjusted as necessary. Then click on the ‘SET’ option on the on screen display, see below for reference.
A huge thank you to all who contribute to this forum, especially @mmi, @Pauly and @dnoermann for all their work on this little gem.
