Default Tire pressure sensor recalibration

My DIC says 27 lbs. when my manual gauge says 31 lbs.
What can be done about this?

Mine have always been spot on to one pound off maximum. What kind of gauge(s) are you using?

If all 4 are off by the same amount, your gauge is wrong. If only one is off, that wheel's sensor will have to be replaced. They cannot be calibrated.

I am going to get a new gauge.
What's a good one.
Looks like the pencil type is a P.O.S.
