Master tire pressure sensor fault

Hi, I've got a 2005 Renault Master with a diesel engine. The tire pressure seems low. I'm getting an error message, and the error memory confirms a sensor fault. Could it be an empty sensor battery after 86887 km?

Hey, I had a similar issue with my Master. It's likely the tire pressure sensor. These sensors have batteries, and they tend to die. Have you checked the tire pressure manually to rule out a flat?

Thanks! I did check the tire pressure manually, and it's within range, so it's the sensor. Did you have to replace the whole sensor, or can you replace just the battery? Can I do it myself, or do I need special tools?

Yeah, it was the whole sensor for me. Replacing the battery alone isn't really an option. I wouldn't recommend trying it yourself unless you really know your stuff. You'll probably need to get it done at a workshop to ensure it's properly programmed. It cost me around 280€ including the sensor and fitting.

Thanks, that's helpful! I'll get it checked out at a workshop then. Replacing the sensor seems best. I appreciate the advice!
