Volvo S80 Tire Pressure Sensor Fault

It seems to be happening intermittently, but the error message doesn't specify which tire. If it's the sensor battery, is it something I can replace myself, or does it require special equipment?

Given the intermittent nature and lack of specific tire identification, a failing sensor battery across multiple sensors is less likely, though still possible. Replacing TPMS sensors typically involves specialized tools for proper installation and calibration to your vehicle's system. It's advisable to consult a workshop to avoid damaging the wheel or TPMS system.

Okay, thanks for the advice. I took it to a local workshop, and they confirmed it was indeed a faulty tire pressure sensor. Had it replaced for 280€, and the error is now gone. Appreciate the help!

The symptoms you describe strongly suggest a problem with your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Given the age and mileage of your Volvo S80, it's quite possible that the tire pressure sensor battery is reaching the end of its lifespan. Are you experiencing this issue with all tires or only a specific one?
