Bipper tire pressure ABS and steering issues

I've got a 2012 Peugeot Bipper with a gasoline engine and about 225k km on the clock. Recently, the tire pressure low warning light has come on. Alongside this, the ABS lamp lights up, and the steering wheel vibrates, particularly at higher speeds. It also feels like I need to put more effort in when steering, as if the power steering is failing. I've checked the tire pressures and they seem okay, though I did notice what sounds like a very slight air leak from one of the tires. I inflated them all to the recommended pressure, but the warning light is still on. Could this be a punctured tire, or something else?

Sounds familiar. I had a similar issue on my Bipper. The low tire pressure warning coupled with the ABS light is a pain. Does the steering issue persist even after inflating the tires?

Yes, the steering issue remains even after inflating the tires. The warning light is still on too. Did you ever find the cause of the issues?

Yep, I did. For me, it turned out to be a defective valve in one of the tires. The tire monitoring system was going nuts, triggering the ABS light and affecting the power steering. You probably need to go to the workshop.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to a local workshop, and you were spot on. It was indeed a faulty valve in the tire. They replaced it, recalibrated the tire monitoring system, and everything is back to normal. Total cost was 280€ Appreciate the help!
