The TPMS reset button is where?
Tire pressure monitoring system is referred to as TPMS. The TPMS reset button is often located below the steering wheel. Your car’s TPMS needs to be electronically reset after you replace the tires in order to erase the error message. Hold the TPMS reset button down until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then let go of the button to complete the process. Your car should be started, and the sensor will refresh after 20 minutes.
Why, after filling the tires, is my tire pressure light still on on my Audi?
If you’ve inflated your tires, but the air pressure warning light continues to flash, your tire pressure monitoring system is malfunctioning or you have a gradual leak. A bright TPMS warning light indicates a problem with a tire pressure sensor, assuming there isn’t a leak in your tire. One of them might be damaged, the lithium-ion battery might be dead, or the TPMS itself might have an internal problem. You’ll need to get your Tire Pressure Monitoring System repaired in any of these scenarios.
Quick Tip: Recheck the tire to ensure it is inflated to the correct air pressure if the TPMS warning light illuminates again after you have inflated it. Low tire pressure indicates an air leak, which requires repair or tire replacement.

What pressure should an Audi A6’s tires be at?
For the Audi A6, the recommended tire pressure for all four tires is 32 to 33 psi. It will be easier to retain superior control and fuel economy under this pressure.
Why are my tires in good condition but my tire pressure sign is on?
It’s likely that one or more of your tires have low air pressure if you see the tire pressure indicator turn on. However, even if your tires are in good condition, there are a number of things that could cause the sensors to go off, so you shouldn’t rely only on the data from the tire pressure monitoring system of your car.

Should the TPMS be reset after purchasing new tires?
After changing or rotating your tires, or after adding new sensors, you should always reset your TPMS. Even after you have inflated your tires, some sensor manufacturers advise restarting the device. By teaching the primary TPMS system to identify the sensors in their new locations, resetting the TPMS is frequently referred to as retraining the system. TPMS reset procedures vary from vehicle to vehicle and typically involve a specific sequence of ignition and pedal actions, a configuration change in your dashboard menu, or the use of a TPMS Reset Tool.
In what location is the TPMS sensor?
In the US, direct TPMS usage is more prevalent. The sensors are either housed in the tire pressure valve, which also serves as an antenna, or they are band-clamped to the wheel rim. These gadgets deliver the data to an on-board computer.
