Q7 Multiple Alerts: ABS, Steering & Tire Issues Combined

I experienced similar symptoms in my 2015 Audi S6 with the 4.0L engine. The tire monitoring system showed pressure loss warnings, and like your case, the ABS light came on with heavy steering. Initially thought it was just a low tire or air leak issue, but diagnostic testing revealed a faulty tire pressure monitoring sensor valve in one wheel. These faulty valves can cause inconsistent pressure readings, triggering multiple warning systems. The inflated tires would lose pressure unevenly, causing the steering shake you described. The ABS warning is often connected because the system relies on accurate wheel speed readings, which get compromised when tire pressure fluctuates abnormally. If left unfixed, this can develop into a serious safety concern affecting vehicle stability and braking performance. The repair required replacing the defective valve stem and recalibrating the tire pressure monitoring system. The symptoms completely resolved after proper repair. Based on your description, recommend having the TPMS valves checked specifically, as general shops sometimes miss this connection between tire pressure issues and other warning systems. Important to address this promptly as it affects multiple safety systems in your vehicle.

Thanks for the detailed response. Having the same symptoms fixed in my 2019 Q7 a few months ago. It started with inconsistent tire pressure readings that kept triggering warnings. Used a tire gauge several times but readings were all over the place. Turned out 2 TPMS sensors needed replacement, plus they found a slow leak in one tire that was causing uneven pressure loss. Would you mind sharing what the repair cost in your case? Mine took about 380 Euro for parts and labor. Just curious if I paid a fair price and wondering if youve had any recurring issues since the fix?

Had my Q7 serviced last week for the faulty tire sensor issue and can confirm the repair fully resolved the tire pressure warning lights. Like your case, the inconsistent readings were caused by a defective valve that was triggering multiple system warnings. The total cost came to 280 Euro which covered replacing the faulty valve and recalibrating the tire pressure monitoring system. Based on your repair cost of 380 Euro, mine seems reasonable since you had two sensors replaced plus a punctured tire repair. No recurring issues since the fix, all tire pressure readings have been stable and the ABS warnings completely disappeared. The steering returned to normal too. Worth every cent for the peace of mind knowing the safety systems are functioning correctly. The mechanic mentioned these valve issues are fairly common in our model range when they reach higher mileage. Regular tire pressure checks can help catch problems early before they affect other vehicle systems.

After getting multiple opinions, I went ahead with the repair at a certified shop that specializes in these issues. The diagnostic revealed exactly what was mentioned, faulty tire sensors causing erratic pressure readings and triggering multiple system warnings. They replaced both front tire pressure sensors and fixed a slow leak in the rear tire. Total repair cost was 410 Euro, slightly higher than expected but included a full system calibration. The tire monitoring system now works perfectly, no more ABS warnings, and the steering feels normal again. The mechanic showed me the old sensors which were badly corroded. Apparently its common in these models once they get high mileage. Really glad I got it sorted as the inconsistent tire pressure was starting to affect handling and safety systems. Thanks for helping point me in the right direction with the diagnosis. Going to do regular tire pressure checks from now on to catch any issues early.
