Jumper Tire Pressure Sensor Issue

I'm having trouble with my 2000 Citroen Jumper with a gasoline engine. I keep getting a 'Tire pressure too low' error message on the speedometer. I've checked the tires multiple times, and the pressure seems fine. The error is also stored in the error memory. Could this be a faulty tire pressure sensor? Mileage is at 188505 km. Any ideas?

I had a similar issue on my Jumper recently. The sensors are known to fail, especially on older models. It could very well be the sensor battery is dead, as they don't last forever. Have you checked the air valve itself for any damage?

Thanks for the quick reply! No, I haven't checked the air valve specifically. Where exactly should I be looking for damage, and is there a way to test the sensor itself without special equipment?

The air valve can sometimes corrode or become slightly damaged, leading to incorrect readings, although it's less likely than sensor failure. Unfortunately, without specialized TPMS tools, properly testing the sensor is difficult. Given the symptoms and the vehicle's age, it's highly probable the sensor needs replacing. I'd advise consulting a workshop to confirm.

Okay, thanks for the advice! I took it to a local workshop, and you were right, it was a faulty tire pressure sensor. They replaced it, and the error is gone. Cost me about 280€ for the whole repair. Appreciate the help!
