Peugeot 307 tire pressure ABS and steering issues

My 2007 Peugeot 307 with a gasoline engine has 58084 km. The tire pressure warning light is on. Also, the ABS lamp lights up, the steering wheel vibrates, and steering requires more effort, maybe power steering failure. Tire pressures are normal. Could this be a faulty tire sensor?

I had a similar experience with my 307. The multiple warning lights and steering issues alongside the tire pressure warning suggest it's not just a puncture. The systems on these cars can be sensitive. Have you thought about a defective valve in one of the tires?

A defective valve? I hadn't considered that. If the tire pressure is correct, how would a valve issue trigger these symptoms? Are you suggesting the system is falsely interpreting a pressure loss due to a valve malfunction?

Precisely. A faulty valve can cause the system to misinterpret the pressure and trigger those warnings. Given the interconnected nature of the ABS, power steering, and tire pressure monitoring systems, the error can manifest in multiple ways. It could be other issues, but I'd recommend a diagnostic check at a reputable workshop to be certain.

Thank you for the insight. I took your advice and brought it to a workshop. It was indeed a defective valve in the tire. Repair cost me 280€. Problem solved.
