i10 Tire Pressure Warning Light
Summary of the thread
The tire pressure warning light on a 2013 Hyundai i10 diesel remained on despite correct tire inflation, indicating a potential issue with the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). The problem was likely due to dead sensor batteries, as the sensors were original and had not been replaced since the car was purchased. It was suggested to replace the sensors, as they typically last 5-7 years. After replacing all four sensors, the warning light issue was resolved.

Good point about the TPMS! I haven't replaced them since I bought the car, so they're probably original. The error code didn't specify a particular sensor, just a general TPMS malfunction. Is there any way to test them individually without replacing them? Or should I just get them replaced?

At that age, it's likely the sensor batteries are done. There are tools to read individual sensor data, but for the cost of diagnostics, you're probably better off just replacing them, especially if they're original. Get it checked at a garage. It is possible that the receiver unit is faulty, but let's assume the sensors are at fault first. That is most likely anyway.

I took it to the garage. You were spot on - all four sensor batteries were flat. 280€ later, all sensors replaced and the warning light is finally gone! Appreciate the help!

Sounds like a TPMS issue. If the pressure is correct and the light's still on, the sensors are the prime suspect. How old are the sensors? They usually last 5-7 years. Did the error code specify which sensor is faulty?
