Seat Ateca Tire Pressure Sensor Issue

My 2017 Seat Ateca with a diesel engine is exhibiting a tire pressure sensor fault. The speedometer displays a low tire warning despite correct tire inflation. Error memory also stores the fault. Suspect sensor battery depletion.

Sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with my Ateca. Kept getting a low tire warning, even though my pressure gauge showed everything was fine. It's like having a phantom flat tire! Have you tried resetting the TPMS? Sometimes that clears it. Also, are all your tires inflated to the correct pressure, according to the sticker on the door jamb?

I have tried resetting the TPMS via the infotainment system, but the error reappears after a short drive. All tires are inflated according to the manufacturer's specifications. Is there anything else I can try before replacing the sensors?

Yeah, resetting didn't work for me either. If the pressure is correct and the reset doesn't hold, it's likely the sensor. They're supposed to last for years, but batteries fail. I'd get it checked at a workshop; they can confirm which sensor is faulty. Could save you some money instead of replacing all of them right away. But honestly, at that age, they may all be on their way out. Think of it like light bulbs; when one goes, the others aren't far behind.

Replaced all four tire pressure sensors. It cost 280€. Problem solved.
