Skoda Rapid Tire Pressure Sensor Fault

I have a Skoda Rapid with a gasoline engine. I'm getting a tire pressure sensor fault. The speedometer shows a low tire, even though the air pressure is fine. Plus, there's an error stored in the error memory. Is it likely that the sensor battery is empty?

A Skoda Rapid owner reported a tire pressure sensor fault, with the speedometer indicating a low tire despite correct air pressure. The issue was traced to a likely failure of the sensor battery, confirmed by an error stored in the vehicle's memory. The suggested solution was to have the sensor checked and replaced at a workshop, which resolved the problem.

Interesting issue. I own a Skoda Rapid and experienced something similar not too long ago. The low tire warning kept appearing, even after a tire check and the air pressure seemed fine according to my pressure gauge. Did you check the pressure manually or just rely on the car's display?

I did a tire check with a pressure gauge, and the air pressure was fine. Did you also have an error stored in the error memory?

Yes, the same error was stored for me too. After some digging, I found out it was likely the sensor battery failing. I'd suggest taking it to a workshop to get it checked out. They can confirm the sensor is faulty and replace it. Is it worth risking driving around with a faulty sensor, potentially causing further issues?

Thanks for the help. It was the sensor battery. Replacement cost 280€, and the error is gone.
