Twingo Tire Pressure Sensor Fault

Hi, I have a 2014 Renault Twingo diesel. Lately, the tire pressure warning light has been on. The display says the tire pressure is too low, and there's an error message in the speedometer. I checked the tires, but they seem fine. Could it be a faulty sensor?

A 2014 Renault Twingo diesel owner experienced a persistent tire pressure warning light, despite the tires appearing fine. The issue was traced to a faulty tire pressure sensor, confirmed by an error code from an OBD-II scanner. The likely cause was a depleted sensor battery due to the vehicle's age. The recommended solution was to replace the sensor, which resolved the issue after professional servicing.

It is plausible that the tire pressure sensor is malfunctioning. Have you checked the error memory using an OBD-II scanner? A stored error code could provide more clarity.

Yes, there is an error stored. The code indicates a tire pressure sensor fault. Is it possible the sensor battery is simply empty after all these years?

Indeed, a depleted sensor battery is a common cause, especially given the vehicle's age. The sensor replacement is recommended. Considering the diagnostic information, proceeding to a qualified workshop for sensor replacement is advisable. Expect a cost around 280€.

Thanks for the confirmation. Took it to the shop, and you were spot on – sensor battery was dead. New sensor fitted, error cleared. Appreciate the help!
