Seat Alhambra Tire Pressure Sensor Issue
Summary of the thread
The Seat Alhambra's tire pressure light was persistently on, indicating a 'Tire Pressure Too Low' message, with an error memory pointing to a sensor fault. The likely cause was suspected to be a dead sensor battery, given the vehicle's age. The solution involved replacing all four tire pressure sensors, which resolved the issue.

Thanks. When you say 'seated right', what do you mean? Is there a way to check without taking the tire off? They're original, so from 2000. Could that be why it's faulty?

By 'seated right,' I mean the sensor is positioned against the wheel and the valve stem is tight. You'd usually hear a hiss if it wasn't. Given their age, the battery being dead is likely. I took my Corsa to a shop, and they said the same thing. They have tools to read the sensor data. Maybe do that.

Just to let you know, it's sorted. The sensor battery was the problem, like we thought. Replaced all four, and the error's gone. Cost about 280€ all in. Thanks for the help!

I had a similar TPMS thing with my old Opel Corsa. The gauge was off, and the light was always on. Have you checked they're all seated right? Sometimes just checking the tires and inflating them can fix it. Might be worth a shot before you go deeper. Could be the sensor. How old are they?
