Atos tire pressure light stays on
Summary of the thread
The tire pressure light on a 2011 Hyundai Atos remains on despite the tires being properly inflated, indicating a potential issue with the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). A code reader shows a tire pressure sensor fault, suggesting a possible sensor issue. A likely cause is a dead battery in one of the sensors, especially given the vehicle's age and mileage. Consulting a mechanic confirmed the issue, and replacing the sensor battery resolved the problem.

That's interesting! A dead sensor battery... hmmm. How did you figure out it was the sensor battery and not something more serious with the system itself? Did you have to go through a lot of troubleshooting?

In my experience, the process of elimination proved to be the most effective approach. Given the age of your vehicle and the mileage, a depleted sensor battery is a plausible explanation. The lifespan of such batteries is finite, akin to that of a common watch battery. While a more comprehensive diagnostic evaluation could be performed, it may be more expedient to consult with a qualified mechanic. They possess specialized tools to ascertain the status of each sensor and offer tailored recommendations.

Thanks a lot for the advice! I took it to a local workshop and you were right! It was the sensor battery. Repair cost me 280€. I really appreciate your help!

Greetings. Your situation sounds familiar. I encountered a similar predicament with my 2014 Opel Corsa a while back. It exhibited comparable symptoms: a persistent low tire pressure warning despite the tires being properly inflated. The error was also stored in the memory. Have you considered the possibility of a faulty TPMS sensor? It might be something as simple as a dead battery in one of the sensors.
