Mercedes V Klasse Tire Pressure Sensor Issue

My Mercedes V Klasse, build year 2011, gasoline engine, is showing a sensor fault at 47052 km. The display shows low tire pressure and an error in the speedometer. An error is also stored. I checked the tire inflation and it seems fine. Has anyone seen this?

I had something similar with my V Klasse. It was frustrating. I kept getting the low tire warning even after inflating. If your gauge confirms the pressure is okay, it's likely the sensor failing. They have batteries that die. Do all tires show as low or just one?

Thanks for the quick response. Only one tire indicates the low pressure. If it is the sensor, is replacement the only option, or can I test or reset it?

If it's just one tire, it's likely a dead sensor battery. You could run diagnostics, but at that mileage, just replace it. It will save you trouble. I went to a workshop; they diagnosed it and swapped the sensor. It cost 280€ including labor and parts. Pricey, but worth it.

Understood. I appreciate the confirmation. I will replace the sensor soon. Thank you for the assistance.
