Default Tpms

My rear TPMS reads 9 psi high compared to a direct reading (with multiple different tire gauges). Is there a way to adjust this or is it the same accuracy as the fuel gauges?

Could be faulty, I've never had a problem. Also it takes some tune to read if you're not riding. Take it for a spin and see what you get.

Mine is pretty right on at cold temp. Never check my tire pressure after the tires are warmed up.

If you suspect a faulty sensor, a dealer can use their TPMS activation tool to force a data update once the pressure has been properly adjusted using a verified accurate tire pressure gauge.
