Mini Roadster issues tire pressure ABS and steering

My 2014 Mini Roadster is showing a low tire pressure warning. Also, the ABS lamp lights up, the steering wheel vibrates, and it takes more effort to steer, like the power steering is failing. Could the tire pressure issue be the cause of all this?

Sounds like what happened to my Roadster. I also got a low tire pressure warning along with the ABS light. Have you checked all your tires with a tire gauge? Could be a punctured tire or even just a slow leak. See if any look flat.

Thanks, good idea. I'll check with a tire gauge. If it keeps happening, what was your solution? Was it just a flat tire?

Yes, similar symptoms. Mine turned out to be a dodgy valve. I'd recommend going to a workshop; they can check for leaks and the tire monitoring system. Don't ignore it, especially with the steering getting heavy.

Just wanted to close the loop on this. Turns out it was a defective valve in the tire. Replaced it, and the tire pressure warning is gone. Total cost was 280€. Thanks for the help!
