2015 Clio tyre pressure warning

Dandytf

2015 Clio check your tyre pressure dashboard warning.
Averaging once per week.
Got a valve drivers side wheel last week.
Warning returns yesterday.
Couldn't pump up past 27psi passenger wheel petrol station air machine failed to error.
Other three wheels went upto 32psi fine.
Second trip to quickfit today though couldn't find any fault.
Is this worth returning for recent deailership to check.
Quickfit thought it could be possible electric fault.
Not sure as dash says checking tyre pressure all the time before going to warning at least once per week.
Cannot find or select set TPW as YouTube video suggests to reset this feature.

Follow the steps in the handbook to reset it. This works fine for my Ford Cmax.
If still a problem go to any dealer and ask.

I and quickfit followed the instructions.
The TPWoption doesn't appear when cycling through bottons3/4
I can for example select service and oil change status with similar process.
It seems stuck on monitoring tyre pressure ongoing.
So I don't think it's updating and eventually reverts to check your tyre pressure warning.

E.g.
Resetting procedure
- repeatedly press one of the buttons 3 or 4 to select the “TIRES SET TPW” function on the display 2;
- press and hold (around 3 seconds) button 3 or 4 to start initialisation. ...
The display 2 on the instrument panel informs you of any tyre pressure faults (flat tyre, punctured tyre, etc.).

I don't get tires set tpw function on dash display.

Sounds like a trip to a dealer then. Are you sure you are only pressing one of the buttons, it says either of them.

One of either two buttons to cycle through on screen options.
Then press and hold top or bottom button I.e. 3or4.
I since found a similar fault in Renault capture forum though didn't seem fully resolved.

You have a leak on at least one valve. 3 of mine have gone on my 15 clio in the last 4 years. Once a week was about the rate i got to drop 6 psi. Order the valve from Renault (making sure you dont order the pressure sensor too), and get your local tyre garage to install it for you.

Thanks no pressure warning since last Fri'
Though I did up pressure to 32psi all tyres
It was previously 32 front 29 back or vice Verrca as door label suggestsn.
Excellent tip as I got drivers valve replaced approx two weeks ago.
Though kwikfit were adamant that no further valve fault faults found last week.
I'll run until,weekend and return to dealership if t.p.w.s.message re Appears.
.if not I'll request the error to be checked in June service.

Warning returned yesterday, since cleared it temporarily.
I'll call dealership and ask them if they could re check the valves one of which was replaced recently.

And have you checked the tyre pressures to confirm it is a genuine warning?
If one or more actual pressures are too low then the system is working as it should.
Remember too, that these things are an aid and not a substitute for regular checks of tyre condition and pressure.
My youngest daughter's Focus was forever warning of low tyre pressure(s). She, too just kept resetting the system which would be fine for a short time, then show a warning again. "Have you checked the actual pressures?" I asked. "No." The system was correct - two valves were leaking and it's been fine since.

Multiple times hence drivers side valve has been replaced as I had 1st booked it into kwikfit fit as I thought it was possibly slow puncture.
Most recent kwikfit fit visit didn't find any pressure or valve fault yet the warning continues averaging at least once per week.
Since booked into dealership next Sat.
