Warning light

[Hugh Mally]

We’re in deepest rural France in quite high temperatures (34 degrees today) tootling along a sub-50mph taking it very easy after a 90 minute run on the motorway at a steady 65-70. The tyre pressure earring light came on to “check all tyre pressures and adjust” followed a few minutes later by the engine management light. Stopped to check under the bonnet - plenty of coolant and no oil dripping (on max before we left home 2 weeks ago), no loss of power, no suspicious noises so completed the last few km with a degree of caution. Tyres all appear to be equally inflated. Not sure if lights are related to a glitch but will be calling Green Flag out to check. Van still under main VW dealer warranty with 43000 miles on the clock. Is this a ‘thing’ with T6’s or a major concern? 68 plate T32 Kombi

Tyre pressure light could be lit due to a faulty wheel sensor

I wondered if the high temperatures had increased the tyre pressures and the system thought that something was wrong…..

This is why you need a OBD reader in your door pocket so you can read , clear , dismiss ( delete as necessary) .
If you turn the ignition off and back on again does the CEL stay off ?

CEL? No, both stay on……

Any that you would recommend? I’m not after anything fancy - if I can read a code then that would be adequate…. (But as we’re in France it would be a purchase on our return).

Amazon worldwide ship to a local collection point.
I've had a few , all are abit out of date now but still work . Someone on here will advise .
You don't need to pay for a subscription with all of them depending on how much depth you wanna dig in to faults .

Quick update: tyre pressures all fine……so I suspect a glitch rather than anything crucial. Will await opinion of Green Flag technician if that is within their skill set!!!

We’re currently on the Ille de Oleron. Drove up from Lisbon a couple of days ago, across Spain in 40C+ heat. Half way, got the ACC/ABS/ESC/Tyre pressure lights on. I have my VCDS dongle with me but not my Laptop, so I can only read codes “Offline” with VCDS mobile (phone signal is also rubbish). My conclusion is that it’s a wheel sensor & I’ll deal with it when I get home.
