Default TPMS...kinda causing issue

I just got my TPMS vag'ed the other day and I'm not all too sure how it works. I try holding down the button and supposedly the TPMS light in the instrument cluster should come on and go out..along w/a beep. None of that. So I was driving last night and the TPMS light comes on. I checked my tires and one was super low. I filled the tires to proper pressure and after 25 miles of driving, the light is still on.

Any clue? Does the light have to be reset via VAG-COM?

Default Once the warning light is triggered and you've filled the problem tire, you have to "SET" it again.

That'll turn the indicator off and put the system back into "learning" mode.

Default I've tried holding "set" while the car was on, while driving, etc...none reset the light.

Can you give me a step by step on what I should do?

Thanks.

Default Then you've got a bad connection somewhere.

For whatever reason, +12VDC isn't arriving at the ABS controller.

That'd suck. Guess I gotta go through my wiring again.

I'd agree about a short/open issue.
