Ive been around C5 for a LONG time.. A TPS is a TPS.. It reads tire pressure and there are ZERO adjustments. Have you taken the car for a drive so the RFA and sensors up date?????
That is the ONLY thing that I can think is causing the difference. Give it a few daya and some drives and compare it to a known good gage.

The painted rims have there original sensors they came with.I checked the pressures with 2 different gauges.They were set at 30lbs.
I drove the car about 40 miles since I put them on.
The dash and the gauge did not match.
I did not train them.I have no idea what that is.
I just have had the car a short time.This is my first C5 .I have had 3 C4s

Mine got closer to guage pressure the longer they were there
Have had the C5 almost 10 years. The TPMS readings were always off on 2 or more wheels. Guage pressure did not match TPMS DIC readings.
Over the years have replaced 3 of the 4 sensors. NOW they almost always read very close to the readings taken with a tire guage.
Don't know if new sensors are more accurate or what but last 2 or 3 years they seem more accurate.
