TPMS Readings

My TPMS is showing tire pressures that are out of sync and not uniform with actual measured pressures (with quality gauge). I am not sure if the system was not calibrated before I took delivery, but it appears you cannot go through a reset and relearning without a special tool. Its not that big a deal, but it would be nice if it reflected true pressure uniformly on all 4 tires. Has anyone else encountered this?

Subscribed. I notice the same with my TPMS and pressures since day 1.

How many psi is it off by? Every measurements has error. If your quality gauge is class B

ANSI Grade B40.1, the first third of the scale will measure 3% of true pressure, while the second third of the scale will register 2% of true pressure, and the final third will read 3% of true pressure.

Thats +/- 2% so max error of 4%

Its an Intercomp gauge. The problem I see is that all tires can be set per my guage at the same pressure, but the TPMS readout reflects 2-3 lbs lower, yet varies by tire. It seems to me, you should be able to set tire pressure and then calibrate the TPMS to measure all tires uniformly.

FWIW my readings are usually a few PSI off (compared to an air pressure gauge) most of the time. I try not to worry about it.

Someone in the tire and wheel section (I think) posted about a relearn tool on Amazon. Might want to do a search. I think it was only like $40-$50 and you can reset them yourself.

Thanks, I'll try the dealer first. Don't want to spend the money and then be right back where I am now. Perhaps this is just how it is and nothing can be done about it.
