Seat Ibiza tire pressure error message after summer tires have been fitted to the car
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
A 2012 Seat Ibiza owner experienced a tire pressure error message after fitting summer tires, suspecting an issue with the tire pressure monitoring system. A similar case with a 2015 Seat Leon involved a defect in the antenna unit responsible for sensor communication, which required replacement. The suggested solutions include manually checking and adjusting tire pressure, and if the issue persists, seeking professional diagnosis for potential sensor or system faults.

Hey, thanks for your answer! Sounds similar to my problem, so that helps. Do you remember how much it cost to replace the antenna and the module? And have there been any other problems with the system since then? Best regards

Hey, I'm glad I could help you! Since I've been to my mechanic, the problem with the tire pressure monitoring system has actually been fixed and the error messages have disappeared from the cockpit. The replacement of the defective antenna unit and the associated module cost me a total of €255. Fortunately, there were no further problems with the system after that. I hope you get the problem solved soon too! Best regards!

Hey, thanks for the info! 255 euros is quite a lot, but if the problem is fixed afterwards, it would be worth it. I probably won't be able to avoid a visit to the workshop. Your story has reassured me a little. Hopefully the mechanics will be just as competent. I will make an appointment soon and hope that everything goes well. Thanks again and best wishes!

Hi, I recently switched to summer tires on my 2013 Seat Leon (petrol) with 90,120 km, I received a tire pressure error message. Can you advise on what might be causing this issue and how to resolve it? Thanks!

Before you consider a sensor or system issue, make sure to manually check your tire pressure with a tire pressure gauge. Sometimes, the change in temperature when switching from winter to summer tires can cause a slight change in tire pressure. If the pressure is indeed low, inflate the tires to the recommended PSI (usually found on a sticker inside the driver's door jamb or in the owner's manual). If the pressure is correct and you're still getting the error, it could be a faulty sensor or a problem with the tire pressure monitoring system, which would need professional diagnosis.

Hey, I drive a 2015 Seat Leon and had a similar problem with the tire pressure monitoring system some time ago. I was diagnosed with a defect in the antenna unit, which is responsible for the communication between the sensors. In the workshop, the antenna and a corresponding module had to be replaced, which was actually not very complicated. The mechanic explained to me that this problem occasionally occurs in Seat vehicles and that it is important to fix it soon to prevent long-term damage. So, no need to panic, but you should definitely get it checked. Good luck! Regards
