Matrix Tire Pressure Sensor Malfunction

Thanks! I did check the pressure manually, and it's fine. It's just one tire triggering the error. Could a bad sensor cause that, even if the pressure is correct?

Okay, if the manual gauge is good and it's just one tire, it's probably a sensor. A weak battery is likely, given the car's age. It could be wiring, but that's less likely. You could try resetting the TPMS, but with a 22-year-old sensor, it's probably failing. I'd take it to a shop; they can diagnose it and replace the sensor. It'll probably be around 280€ to fix.

Thanks for confirming my thoughts and the cost estimate! I appreciate the help. I'll take it to a shop for diagnosis and sensor replacement.

That sounds annoying! I had something similar on my old car. Before you replace the sensors, did you check the tire pressure with a manual gauge? Seems obvious, but sometimes it's overlooked. And are all four tires showing low pressure, or just one?
