Peugeot 407 Tire Pressure ABS and Steering Issues
Summary of the thread
A 2006 Peugeot 407 owner reported issues with a tire pressure warning, ABS light activation, and steering wheel vibration, leading to increased steering effort. The problem was identified as a faulty valve in one of the tires, causing a slow leak that confused the vehicle's systems. The suggested solution was to have the valve checked and replaced at a workshop, which resolved the issues after a system reset.

Yeah, I've checked the tire pressures. They seem okay, maybe a slight loss in one, but nothing major. Could a slow leak cause all those other issues too?

That's exactly what happened to me. Turned out to be a faulty valve in the tire, causing a slow leak. The system gets confused, triggers the ABS light, and affects the power steering due to the pressure difference. I'd suggest getting it checked at a workshop.

Thanks for the insight. I took it to a local shop, and you were spot on. Defective valve in the tire was the culprit. New valve, system reset, and I'm back on the road. Total cost was 280€. Appreciate the help!

Sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with my 407. The tire pressure warning was the first sign. Did you check if one of your tires is losing pressure?
