Sentra Tire Pressure ABS and Steering Issues

I have a 2001 Nissan Sentra with a gasoline engine. The tire pressure warning light is on, and the steering wheel is shaking. The ABS lamp lights up, and it is more difficult to steer. Mileage is 155941 km. Defective valve?

A 2001 Nissan Sentra experienced issues with the tire pressure warning light, ABS lamp, and steering difficulties, accompanied by a shaking steering wheel. The suspected cause was a defective valve leading to air loss in the tire. A similar issue was resolved by replacing the valve, which was confirmed by a workshop diagnosis, successfully solving the problem.

Dude, I had the exact same thing happen on my Sentra! Except I didn't see the ABS light. Was the shaking constant, or just at certain speeds? The vibrations felt like something was seriously wrong, right? It could just be a flat tire, but I would check the tire pressure sensor and if the tires are correctly inflated.

It happens all the time. What was the problem on your car?

For me, it was a defective valve, like you said! The tire was losing air constantly, which is why I felt the increased effort required when steering. I didn't catch it until the tire pressure monitoring went off. I'd get it checked at a workshop to be safe. Don't keep driving it!

Thanks for the input. Shop diagnosed a valve defect, as suspected. Repair cost 280€. Problem solved.
