Seat Toledo tire pressure ABS and steering issues

Yeah, I checked the tire pressure with a tire gauge and one of them was definitely lower than the others. Topped it up, but the warning light came back on after a short drive. When you had this issue, was it just one tire, or were multiple tire sensors acting up? And did you also have the shaking steering wheel?

Okay, topping it up and the light coming back on is a classic sign of an air leak. The vibrating steering wheel and hard steering? That's likely because the system is interconnected. The tire sensor could be faulty, but the low pressure itself is messing with the ABS and power steering. With all of that combined, I would say it is time to go to the workshop, they can check if it is the valve or the tire sensor.

You were spot on! Took it to the local garage, and it was a faulty valve in the tire. New valve, tire re-inflated, and the warning light is gone! Steering is back to normal too. 280€ lighter, but at least it's fixed. Thanks again for the help!

Whoa, sounds rough! I had something similar happen with my Toledo, though I can't remember the exact year. Low tire pressure warning, ABS light freaking out, and the steering felt like I was wrestling an alligator. Have you checked each tire with a tire gauge? Could be a slow air leak, but with all those symptoms, it might be more than just a simple flat tire.
