Mini One tire warning light and steering issues

Okay, so my 2022 Mini One is acting super weird. The low tire warning light is on, but the ABS lamp is also lit up, the steering wheel is shaking like crazy, and it takes way more effort to turn the wheel. Feels like the power steering is gone. Could a defective valve in the tire really be causing all of this?

That sounds similar to an issue I had with my Mini One. The low tire warning light came on, and I noticed the steering felt heavy. Have you checked your tire pressure with a tire gauge to confirm the pressure is actually low? Sometimes the tire monitoring system can be a bit sensitive.

In my case, the faulty valve was causing a slow air leak, leading to low tire pressure. The low pressure probably affected the power steering and ABS. Given all the symptoms you're describing, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop. They can properly diagnose the issue and replace the valve if needed.

Yeah, I checked the tires with a tire gauge after the low tire light came on and they were all definitely low. Could a bad tire valve really cause all those problems at once?

Just wanted to update, it WAS the tire valve! Got it replaced for 280€ and the steering is back to normal. Thanks for the advice!
