dash tire presure read out

[woof359]

just got a used 2018 JK, noticed it had a read out for the tire presures, how acurate is it ? checked my tires with 2 different gauges and the dash seems to read 4 PSI higher ?

Mine is spot on.

My JL is spot on too

Maybe your TPMS sensors are flaking out… if that’s a thing.

If you're checking after the JK has sat for several hours, the dash readout is saved from the last reading the TPMS took while the JK was rolling.

So yes, the dash will be higher than the actual tire reading.

Now, if you're getting the 4 psi difference after driving for a while and then stopping and checking, you may have TPMS batteries starting to fail.

Mine seem to run about 3psi off. I had one shit out this weekend after wheeling so I just turned off the system. It's more annoying than helpful to me anyway.

Mine was normally 2PSI higher.

TPMS sensors never read your air pressure 100% accurately. Your air is never consistently one pressure either. Lastly, different gauges do in fact give different readings. My guess is there is no real issue.

Mine range from 2-4 psi off. Ditto just turning off.
