I had to calibrate my TPMS a few times over the past two weeks, after receiving warning for low pressure (finally it was a nail). Each time I run the calibration as described in the manual, but never got the dots turn green even after driving for more than half an hour during the same engine run cycle, as described in the manual. At restart the dots turn green, but the manual says they will, even if calibration is not complete..So my question is, to anyone who has done the calibration before, how long does it take to complete the calibration? Have you seen the dots turn green before switching off the engine?
TPMS Calibration

FWIW: last week I took my 2017 S90 to the local dealership for its 30K maintenance service. They also did a Service 2.0 software upgrade. Prior to that, the TPMS worked just fine: I had had to recalibrate it only twice, each time after new tires had been installed. But this time, while driving out of the dealership, TMPS requested a recalibration. The dealership had only topped up the inflation pressure slightly, which does not usually trigger a TPMS recalibration. So I figured I would humor the car and recalibrate. After five miles at highway speed, the Sensus icon showed the four green dots indicating the calibration was successful. Unfortunately, that wasn't the end of the matter. In the past week, the TPMS has continually prompted me to recalibrate, I do so, it appears to do so, but then the cycle starts all over again. I can only assume that the current Service 2.0 upgrade screwed up the TPMS. A second visit to the dealership got me just the time-honored mechanic's shrug. I guess I will be living with the issue until the next software upgrade.
Funny you are saying that...the audi community has different opinion...

NO COMMENT :
this is from AUDI GERMANY, if you don't understand something, contact them directly ?
here all about TPMS

Just because it is not showing what is happening on the background doesn't mean it doesn't need calibration. Fundamentally for the system to operate, the wheels are required to rotate so as to trigger the self-learning process.
Another fun fact is that Audi, Volvo and most other manufacturers using the exact same system provided by Nira Dynamics AB (swedish company by the way)..better ask them :bow:

After a resetting, it takes 2-3 minutes to drive, the system returns to the default settings. I write from my own experience
Swedish company, what does this have to do with Volvo ????
Audi uses European, American and Japanese suppliers for its cars, as opposed to Volvo using Chinese parts suppliers :bow:

Well maybe after a couple more posts you ll agree that it takes 10 minutes...fact of the matter is that Audi and Volvo are using the same system, either you like it or not!
Bmw still uses direct TPMS in many of their models, therefore is a different story.
All manufacturers are using components from suppliers based near their manufacturing plants...it's logistics...Since most Volvos are built in Sweden and Belgium most of their suppliers are from european countries. And it is not difficult to check this out either. Most components on the XC60 have stamps with 'made in' various european countries apart from sweden...:bow:
On the contrary, I love my Volvo, dream it every night, love it so much :bow:
To you and to the individuals in the forum, I want this to happen to you. Of course with your family members in the car

In February 2020, I will be the happiest man in the world when I sell this car, known as the Volvo XC60 :rave:
Well, I was wrong about having to live with the TPMS problem in my 2017 S90. My long-time salesman made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I just traded the car in for a 2020 V60. Problem solved!

The TPMS calibration clearly is a joke. I didn't expect any satisfaction when I complained at my 10K
service and I don't expect any love at my 20K.

I'm jealous! That's probably my favorite Volvo model right now.Well, I was wrong about having to live with the TPMS problem in my 2017 S90. My long-time salesman made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I just traded the car in for a 2020 V60. Problem solved!
