Tire Sensor Problem
I just had a large nail removed from my C5's rear tire. The Goodyear service tech advised me that the tire sensor is not accurate; it's off a few pounds. Just wondering, does anyone know how to caliberate the sensors?
Thanks in advance.

The sensor cannot be calibrated! If everything was done right and the sensor still shows wrong ppressure it has to be changed by a new one. At front left I have the fourth sensor.
But, did he run the car? To show the right pressure the car has to run.
Hope this helps

I talked to my mechanic earlier today about a svc tire pressure monitoring system error code.
In the course of the conversation, he commented that the sensors were
supposed to be accurate +/- 2 pounds.
So I guess it depends on how far "off" the sensor is compared to what the guy at Goodyear says he put in it.
