Getting Tire Inflation and ABS icon popping up randomly

[atzialis]

Looking for some ideas on a fix. My wifes Polo is randomly coming up with both the Tire icon and ABS icon when driving every now and then. If I pull over and switch the car off and restart it it goes away again for some time. I'm guessing it's a random problem with a wheel speed sensor. Maybe needing to be removed or cleaned? This problem seems to have started right after getting a rear passenger side tire slow leak repaired. Could the sensor have been damaged when the car was jacked up???
If anyone can scan the ecu to point me in the right direction that would also be appreciated. Willing to pay for your time.

In my old Golf GTI, it was based on wheel speed, so, measured like you say on rotation via a speed sensor/ABS unit.

I'm yet to take delivery of my Polo so am unsure where the 'reset' button is. Golf was inside the glovebox.

Try;
Pump all tyres to 38psi (or your ideal pressure)
Press reset button (tells ECU to use new parameters )
See what errors you get after this time

Good luck!

Polo TPMS reset is also in the glove box.

Thanks. Have done the reset, but it is not a tire inflation issue.The tire is fine.
The problem is that I also get the ABS icon coming up at the same time which makes me think it may be a sensor issue.
