You are kidding me with this question?
Have you even checked the air pressures in each tyre yet?

have checked tyre pressure and there is nothing wrong with them. they are all 29psi. so now genius that s not the problem.
Having checked the pressures are all good (although typically front and rear should nopt be same). It would be wise to relearn those stored values - button presses in MMI. All being 29 means nothing, unless you are absolutely confident they were all at that exact pressure when the sytstem was calibrated to reference.
- So start by checking what correct pressure should be - sticker on drivers door edge.
- Pump the tyres to the required pressures.
- Reset TPMS to that validated referfence point via MMI.

Be aware that depending on your car the tyre pressures may be incorrect. The 19" wheels on mine (as fitted standard on the Dynamik) are not catered for on the sticker. Doh! I had my light come on and it just needed a check of pressures and a re set.
As per Spr0cket
1.Read Owners Manual
2.Ensure correct pressure is in all tyres.29 is not correct for starters.
3.Reset TMPS in MMI.
4.If TMPS light comes on after a drive, check pressures.If pressures are what you put in, THEN you have a problem.Basics first.
5.Genius status not required for above steps.
LMAO, now now, I think the replies were a little expected given the original post.
Ok so it actually states malfunction in the dis, not warning of tyre pressures, in this circumstance it needs to be scanned & if its under warranty, just take it to audi, obviously after checking tpms in mmi

have had car in and out of audi 3 times to sort this problem. with them ending up changing the handbrake module to solve this problem.

Can i respectfully request that when people put up an issue they state ALL the facts. Otherwise you can come across as a little 'un-informed'. THe slight hints of sarcasm earlier on were down to insufficient details on the problem you was experiencing.
Sorry to resurrect this thread but I’ve been getting a similar “TPMS Malfunction” (not pressure low/lost message) error message. Only happens once in a while, but goes away after being reset.
Was this similar to your issue @audia4kev? Do you remember how much and how difficult it wa to replace the handbrake module? Thanks.
