Some Volkswagen Touareg owners report experiencing persistent engine light and tire pressure light issues even after sensor replacement. These problems may arise from factors such as leaking tires, wheels that fail to hold air, or a malfunctioning tire pressure monitoring system. Additionally, the type of tire pressure monitoring technology in the Touareg is typically the "direct" version, which can complicate matters. A constantly illuminated check engine light may indicate ongoing issues with the engine or ignition system, ranging from minor problems like a loose gas cap to more serious concerns. In some cases, the issue may stem from a faulty pressure sensor that requires a significant drop in tire pressure for re-pressurization. Furthermore, problems with the vehicle's control module or antennas could also contribute to these warning lights remaining on. It is recommended that owners have their vehicles thoroughly inspected by a qualified service center to accurately diagnose and resolve these persistent issues.
