Puma ABS and Steering Issues
Summary of the thread
A 2020 Ford Puma diesel is experiencing multiple issues: a persistent low tire pressure warning, an ABS light, steering wheel vibrations, and difficulty steering, suggesting potential power steering failure. Initially suspected to be a bad tire valve, further discussion points to a faulty tire pressure sensor affecting the ABS and power steering systems. The recommended solution is to have the vehicle checked at a workshop to diagnose and address the sensor or related system issues.

Thanks, I checked all the tires and inflated them to the right pressure. The warning is still there, and the other problems too. It doesn't seem to be just one tire; the whole system seems off. What happened with yours? Was it just a puncture, or something else?

Okay, if you checked the pressures and it's still happening, it's probably not just a simple puncture. Mine was a faulty tire pressure sensor, which messed with the ABS and power steering. Based on what you're saying, I'd take it to a workshop; sounds like a sensor or something is bad.

Thanks, that makes sense. I thought it was more than a puncture. I'll book it in with a workshop for a check. I was thinking valve issue, but the sensor idea fits better with the other systems. The repair cost 280€.

I had something similar happen with my Puma. The low tire pressure light came on, and the steering felt really heavy. Did you check the pressure in all your tires? It sounds obvious, but it could just be a slow leak. Is it always the same tire that triggers the warning?
