Another tire sensor question
Just changed my tires to michelin pilotsport zeropressure. All the sensors are reading but the front left tire was reading about 4 psi lower than the others. I checked it with a normal tire pressure reader and actually, they all had the same pressure. My question is:
(1) Do you think my tire sensor needs calibration
(2) How do you calibrate the sensor
(3) Is the new tire causing the problem and if so why are the other 3 tires fine?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'd replace the sensor. I don't know of any way to calibrate them. I'm assuming you either kept the sensors in the same locations when you switched tires or re-programmed them after the install?

You can not calibrate them but sometimes letting all the air out of the tire and refilling it makes it work normally again!
You can try relearning the sensors too. That may help.
