Funny, just went through this on my 2008 S this past week.

Yes, all four of your sensors are dying, or near end-of-life.

I priced the Porsche OEM replacements and discovered they cost $150 apiece. That's $600 for all four.

Purchased these 3rd party sensors at half that cost, installed, reset the system, and now everything is happy.

Good luck!

Wow, remarkable timing. My left front sensor went out ths morning, and according to this thread, the others will follow soon. I'm due for tires soon, so I'll just live with the warning until then. Great tip on the aftermarket sensors - thank you!

Durametric or PIWIS will do it.
