DS3 low tire pressure ABS and steering issues
Summary of the thread
A 2017 Citroen DS3 was experiencing a low tire pressure warning, ABS light activation, and erratic steering, all occurring simultaneously. The core issue was identified as a defective valve causing a persistent air leak in one tire. Replacing the faulty valve resolved the problem, leading to a stable tire pressure and eliminating the associated ABS and steering issues.

Good shout! I didn't think about the valve, I was too focused on checking for punctures in the tire itself. Is there anything specific I should be looking for with the valve? I've never actually had to deal with one going bad before.

Well, my issue ended up being a faulty valve stem – tiny air leak! I’m no mechanic, but my local shop confirmed it pretty quick. It might be worth having someone take a look. If it's the valve, it's usually a quick and cheap fix.

Spot on! Took it to the shop, defective valve was the culprit indeed. New valve, balancing, and fitting came out to 280€. Thanks for the help!

Whoa, sounds rough! I've got a DS3, too, and vaguely remember something similar. Did you check the valve itself? I remember having to reinflate my tires almost every day back then. Are you experiencing the same pressure loss?
