209 Drive Control Systems
Picture no: 17713j.tif
Control indicator w in yellow
as fault message
If control indicator
w
illuminates yellow
while driving, there is a fault in the tyre
pressure monitoring system. Fitting a wheel
without pressure sensor (e.g. spare wheel)
will also generate a fault in the system.
Have the cause of the fault remedied. We
recommend that you consult your Vauxhall
Authorised Repairer. The system’s
integrated self-diagnostics allows faults to
be quickly remedied.
General information
The spare tyre or temporary spare wheel is
not equipped with a pressure sensor. If the
spare tyre or temporary spare wheel is
used the tyre pressure monitoring system
will not work for this wheel, and the control
indicator w will illuminate yellow. The
system remains operational for the other
three wheels.
If a complete set of wheels that do not have
tyre pressure monitoring system sensors is
used, (e.g. four winter tyres or retrofitting
of a different size tyre) no warning
message is displayed. The system is not
operational.
Sensors for the tyre pressure monitoring
system can be retrofitted. We recommend
that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer.
When manually checking tyre pressure with
a pressure gauge, screw the adapter onto
the valve. Tyre pressure – see page 215.
The tyre pressure monitoring system valve
cores and sealing rings must be replaced
each time the tyres are changed. We
recommend that you contact your
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
The use of commercially available liquid
filled run-flat systems or repair kits can
impair the function of the system.
Vauxhall-approved systems can be used.
Radio transmitters (e.g. radio headphones,
walkie-talkies) operated in the area could
cause interference in the tyre pressure
monitoring system.
