Kuga Tire Pressure Sensor Fault

I haven't checked the sensor dates, but I think they're original. I checked the tire pressures manually, and they're fine. Could a bad air valve cause these errors too?

A faulty valve could cause slow pressure loss, but it probably wouldn't directly trigger a sensor fault if the pressure is correct when checked. Given the age and mileage, a dead sensor battery is likely. I'd suggest a workshop visit for diagnosis and replacement.

Thanks for the advice. I took it to a workshop, and they confirmed the tire pressure sensor battery was dead. They replaced the sensor, and the error is gone. The repair cost 280€.

Sensor faults are common. How old are the sensors? The batteries sometimes die after a few years. Have you checked the pressures with a gauge to be sure it's not just a puncture or slow leak?
