Corvette Tire Pressure ABS and Steering Issues

I've got a 2012 Chevrolet Corvette with a gasoline engine. Lately, the tire pressure low warning keeps popping up. Alongside that, the ABS lamp lights up, the steering wheel vibrates, and it takes more effort to steer, almost like the power steering is failing. The car has 241542 km. I checked the tires, and they seem properly inflated. Any ideas?

A 2012 Chevrolet Corvette was experiencing issues with a persistent tire pressure warning, ABS light activation, steering wheel vibration, and increased steering effort. Despite the tires appearing properly inflated, the problem persisted. The suggested cause was a defective valve stem in one of the tires, leading to slow pressure loss. After taking the car to a shop, the valve was confirmed to be faulty and replaced, resolving all the warning issues.

I had similar symptoms on my Corvette! Have you checked the tire pressure sensors? Sometimes a faulty valve in the tire can cause pressure loss and trigger those warnings. I'm assuming you've visually confirmed no flat tire?

Thanks for the quick reply! I did check for obvious flats, but didn't specifically look at the tire pressure sensors or valves. Where exactly should I be looking for the valve issue?

On my car, it turned out to be a defective valve stem on one of the tires. It was leaking very slowly. I'd recommend getting a shop to check each valve stem. It's better to have them do it properly than to keep chasing the issue yourself. Could save you a lot of trouble!

Thanks for the advice. Took it to the shop, and you were spot on - defective valve in one tire. Repair cost was 280€. Replaced, and all the warnings are gone.
