My TPS is reading between 4 and 6 lbs low on all 4 tires compared to multiple tire guages reading the pressure directly. Finally took her into Discount Tire today and they verified all 4 tires at 30. My TPS still says between 24 and 25 depending on the tire.

Is the TPS normally this far off in rainy weather?

Your profile says you have a 2005 which is a C6. I would think it should still be under warranty and you might want to have your dealer look at it. Too, the folks over in C6 General may be a better source of info on the C6 TPS rather than C5 General.

Good luck.

They prolly need resetting, Go to your dealer they can do it in about 2 minutes.

Thanks. I did to until today. 5 different guages (including the ones at discount) show my TPS is off.

Thought it just might be a rain thing.
