Your dealer is the safe bet. Not too many issues with the newer sensors.

Now, the C4, that is a totally different story!

BTW, do you have any pics?

Did you check all the tires? Is one of the other tires low on pressure?

Could be that the sensors need 'retraining'. Did you have tire/wheel work done recently?

I have not had any issues with the sensors on my C6 or my previous C5s - the C4, now that was a different story.

i have been to the tire shop and dealer twice to tell them i need air in the right. each time (3x in one day) they told me that i had 33# in the front right. all other tires are at 33# and no issue on them. i assume the sensor is bad. i am going to make arrangements to take it in to dealer next week. (need oil change ayway)
i was just not expecting to have silly issues like this. they are a nuesence.
thank you, Nina

I would try this first before going to a dealer the procedure should be posted somewhere here.

HI there,
It is possible you have a pressure sensor issue.
They are normally within a pound or 2 of the actual pressure.
Retraining requires a special tool, and the procedure isnt easy.
So, as long as your car has 30 psi in all tires, you are fine and the sensors need to be diagnosed.
Allthebest, c4c5
