Skoda Enyaq Forum

Do we know if the standard system is just the usual ABS sensor way or do we have sensors in the wheels seeing as it's now 2021 ?

So can no one with a car to hand answer my question ?

Ok I’m aware it has tyre pressure monitor, but don’t how it works - any idea how we’d check?

Would be under the "car" menu then "tyre pressire" or it is in my Karoq. If its proper monitoring you should have the current tyre pressures displayed if no info it's just reading from ABS sensors.

I’ll take a look tomorrow when its not lashing down!

It's the same system as in other skodas. It's measured by the abs sensors. when it detects a large enough difference in rolling resistance in one wheel, it sets off the alarm.
It is just a monitor, rather than accurate sensors in the wheel.

... odd. My Nissan Leaf tells me the tyre pressures on each wheel. Are we saying that the Enyaq can't do that?

EU law requires a warning of low tyre pressure. That means they can choose to fit pressure sensors to the wheels, or use valves with integrated sensors, or they can use indirect methods like comparing wheel speeds from the ABS sensors. There's no requirement to display the tyre pressures to the driver, even on cars that have pressure sensors - for example, my Outlander has pressure sensors, but just a single 'low tyre pressure' warning light. It doesn't even tell you which one is low. Having sensors in the wheels means additional radio equipment in each wheelarch to receive the data from the sensors, plus the complication of the sensors themselves. So a lot of manufacturers (to be fair, mainly VW Group) choose not to bother.

For most people just knowing that you've got one or more tyres that are low is enough, as it'll let you know you need to check them.

Cheers for answering this. Disappointing in this day and age they don't do it properly

I had a complete flat a couple of days ago and my sensors didn’t warn me, I noticed by the juddering of the car.

It also stated all tyres were completely fine as I was sitting on the side of the road with an obvious flat.
