VW Passat 2012 TPMS light on

[plugsandsparks]

Only come across 2 types of TPMS, rolling diameter using wheel sensors through ABS module and individual tyre pressure sensors on the wheels (rather inside the wheel rims), you have ruled out pressure sensors via the tyre shop so it only leaves the former. If your car actually can display the actual tyre pressure, i.e. 34psi etc, then its certainly the latter. You could try calling the VW dealer, get through to parts and give them your VIN and ask them .

Alternatively, go onto the website of a parts supplier, such as Autodoc, where you enter your reg to identify your vehicle. If they offer in tyre pressure sensors for it, then that's what you have.

IT never displayed me the actual tyre pressure, which is a good indication that there are no individual sensors in wheel.

In this scenario what options do I have simply consult with an auto electrician?
