On Board Tire Pressure gauge and spare

[Gestalt]

Had to pop on the spare recently, and I'm noticing the tire pressure gauge for that tire is way off showing 14 psi (see screenshot attached from app).


I confirmed the tire has about 33 psi in it currently. Any ideas why it is reading so low?

I'd say because you are up in Minnesota, but then you said it read correctly I assume by checking it with a guage. Did it clear up after driving?

I'd drive it a bit and see if it corrects itself. It may be the battery on the sensor is going, going, gone.

could be a bad sensor in that tire..... maybe drive it for a bit and see what happens.

The sensor is (i think) attached to the bottom of the tire inflation valve... maybe it dropped of and is just rattling around inside the tire, or it just went bad.... the other option (and more favorable) is a brainfart and it'll come around for you.

Hey guys. After looking around, It sounds like the sensor is still attached to the old tire on the old rim in my trunk. I guess it will be fixed when I get new tires this weekend.
