Why are the ABS, traction control and tyre pressure lights amber?

My 56-plated 114,000 mile 2.0 TDI 140 Leon has just started showing the amber ABS, traction control and tyre pressure lights. I see from other threads that this is likely to be linked to the ABS in some way because the tyre pressure sensors work off the same system as the ABS and the traction control.

Why does my traction control light come on when I accelerate?

What does it mean when your TPMS warning light is on?

So check your tires carefully. If your vehicle has a TPMS, it’s probably monitoring the pressure in your spare tire. Therefore, if you get a low tire pressure warning light, and if you’ve checked all four tires that are touching the ground, than you might need to put some air in the spare.

Why is my tire pressure sensor warning light on?

Disturbed or Tripped Sensor. If you’ve recently had your vehicle serviced and the tire warning light activated immediately or shortly after, it’s likely that something tripped one or more of the tire pressure sensors. Some models require the TPMS to be reset after adding pressure.

How does a low tire pressure light work?

The TPMS (or Tire Pressure Monitoring System) uses sensors on the vehicle to determine when a tire has low pressure and alerts the driver with a warning light so the tires can be checked out.

Can a spare tire have a tire pressure light?

Not all vehicles have TPMS in the spare tire, but those that do can sneakily throw a tire pressure light when this tire is inevitably forgotten. This is not a bad thing, though; it’s always a good idea to keep the spare inflated properly in case you need it.
