Peugeot 2008 Tire Pressure Sensor Issue

I'm having trouble with my Peugeot 2008 (2020, electric). The tire pressure sensor keeps giving me a 'Tire pressure too low' warning, and there's an error in the speedometer. I've checked the pressure, and it's fine. Could the sensor be faulty even with proper inflation?

Ugh, those pesky sensors! Sounds like a TPMS issue. I had almost the exact same thing happen in my old Volvo. The low tire light kept popping up, even though the pressure was fine. I bet the sensor battery is dead. How old are they?

My car is a 2020 model, so I assume the sensors are original. Do sensor batteries often fail this early? Were your symptoms identical – the error message and the consistent low-pressure warning?

Yeah, the Volvo was doing the same thing, constantly flashing that warning at me. 2020? Could still be the battery. They aren't made to last forever. I would take it to a workshop to get it checked out. It's a pain, but better safe than sorry.

Thanks for sharing your experience! It's reassuring to know someone else faced a similar problem. I followed your advice and took it to a workshop. The sensor battery was indeed empty. Replacing the sensor cost me 280€, but the error is finally gone!
