How do you reset the service indicator? I could RTFM, but I'm feeling lazy. Thanks!

I bought a set of winter wheels (OEM RS4s in gun metal) from the dealer, but didn't pay for the sensor valve stems... so the air pressure warning light is on all winter. Can that be turned off?

(I didn't take the tires off the summer rims so takeing out the sensor valve stem wasn't possible)

i forget how to do it, but it's somewhere in the archives.

sigh!

sigh

The main issue is I don't want to buy them, take the tires off install them, remount the tires... PITA that I don't have time for. Disabling the light is a wee bit easier.

button, turn key to the "on" position (before starting) and press the 0,0 button (while still holding down the wrench button). That should reset the service indicator.

first hand accounts seem to suggest the TPMS system has some problems. when I put on my new wheels (w/o TPMS sensors) I didn't get a warning indicator. so that tells me that either 1) my OEM wheels don't have TPMS sensors, or 2) the system malfunctioned. I don't miss having it.

then one day it decided to come on. maybe becasue the old rims were sitting next to the car in the garage for the month, then I moved them to my warehouse... hmmm.

While holding down the wrench button, turn key to the "on" position (before starting) and press the 0,0 button (while still holding down the wrench button).
