Tire pressure DIC reading
I found that when I add air to the tires the tire pressure reading does not change. I added air Sat. night and the readings satyed at about 27 pds. I would turn the car off and on and this made no change.
I checked this morning when I left and found I was now at 32 pds.
Is there any trick to getting a more immediate change or is this normal

I don't think they send anything until the wheel speed gets to around 25 mph or somewhere around there. They don't send when the car is sitting still.

I gave up on trying to make my sensors work properly even when I had the OE wheels on the '97. I just reset the damn thing each time I drove the car. I always eyeball the tires before I drive anywhere anyway, so if one looks low I just take care of it. When I tank it up the tires get a pressure check, so I don't miss the sensors at all. When I put on the HRE wheels, I did install the sensors, go figure.

As for the readings being 2 psi off, I think most would say that that is an acceptable tolerance.
I personally use a professional racing guage (circular guage with a hose and pressure relief value). I don't use the pencil-type pressure guages. Mine is consistently 1 psi difference on all four wheels.

You have to be going about 15 mph for the sensors to read.
