Seat Altea Tire Pressure Sensor Issue

I'm experiencing a strange error with my 2014 Seat Altea with a gasoline engine. It has 168185 km on it. The tire pressure seems too low, and there's a constant error message in the speedometer. I checked the error memory and it shows a sensor fault. I suspect the sensor battery might be empty. Any ideas?

A 2014 Seat Altea owner is experiencing a persistent low tire pressure warning on the speedometer, suspected to be due to a sensor fault. The issue is likely caused by a dead sensor battery, given the vehicle's age and mileage. The recommended solution is to replace the faulty sensor, which was confirmed and resolved at a workshop.

Sounds like a TPMS issue. I had something similar with my Altea. Do you get a 'flat tire' warning, or just a general 'low tire' message?

It's a general low tire message. Was your sensor fault also showing constantly?

Yes, the warning was there all the time. A faulty or dead sensor triggers it constantly. It's likely the battery, especially given the age. You'll probably need a new sensor. Best get it checked professionally at a workshop to confirm.

The pressure gauge sensor was indeed the issue. I had it replaced at the workshop, cost around 280€. Thanks for the advice!
