If you are unsure which Generation is installed, check the Control Module Identification.
EPB3 stands for Generation III and EPB4 for Generation IV. Dealer parts departments may no longer carry the EPB3 modules because they have been superseded with the newer EPB4 modules. The Coding of the replacement modules will likely not be the same as the Coding in the old module but the Coding charts in VCDS should be applicable.

Notes:

  • The 2012+ NAR (North American Region) Tiguan is equipped with the Indirect TPMS which is a function of the ABS Brake Electronics system. Address [65] - Tire Pressure Monitoring is NOT used.
    • When ABS based TPMS is installed the vehicle is equipped with a reset button or MFA (dash) reset. The Owner's manual and Labels on the chassis will include vehicle specific instructions for the learning drive and reset.
