Tyre Pressure Fault?

mark2912

Last week, while out driving, I had the tyre pressure light come on the dashboard. I brought my car (a 2010 Golf) to the local garage, who checked the pressure in each tyre and advised me that each tyre had different pressure, before inflating them all to the right recommended pressure. After inflating tyres, they reset the tyre pressure light in the car, and all seemed fine.

However, I had my NCT yesterday, and while it passed no problem, the end of the report where they list any OBD faults found, the following code in relation to tyre pressure was found:

What does this mean? And could it be in relation to what happened with the tyres last week?

All should be good then, if the TPMS light hadn't come on since perhaps the NCT were just reading the historic fault?

This time of the year a lot of pressure activations are caused by the outside temperature while the tyre is heating up.A reset usually works unless there is a sensor fault.

When I got the tyres inflated to the right pressure, the light went out after pressing the reset button in the glove box...

No lights are on now, so would it of been an old stored fault that was read at the NCT?

Could be, I know on my basic fault reader I have 2 options, I can clear current faults which will clear existing faults that are causing the check engine light to come on and additionally I have an option to clear historic faults, both clear seperate logs. The NCT may be reading the historic faults.

Ah I see, so how would I get this cleared?
