Tire pressure monitoring

Thanks. I think I may give a call to the dealership where I purchased my BS this week and talk the the service department. Won't hurt any.

Is there a way to adjust the tire pressure reading on the dash to correlate with an actual tire pressure reading with a handheld gauge?

How much are you off? And how confident are you in this gauge?

The other day when I was airing down, I aired down to 25psi using my stick gauge. I left my BS running while doing this and I left it on the tire pressure screen. After I aired down, I looked around then got back in.

I was surprised to see the display show all tires at 25psi. I thought I would have to drive a little on them but that wasn't necessary.

When I aired them back up, I went to 34psi on the gauge and it seems to be holding around 33/34. But it's been hot down in Texas and I've been driving a lot so I get there may be some fluctuations.

I have been using 3 different gauges with the best being a Jaco digital. All are right together. Compared to the dash reading a couple of tire readings are 1-2 psi off from the gauges. My 2018 F150 I traded in on the 2024 Bronco Sport was always right on the money with the gauges. I am somewhat of a stickler for exactness.

Does the off reading move when you rotate the tires? I gotta say 1-2 psi is not significant. That can be the difference between a tire in the sun vs one in the shade.

I have only had the Bronco Sport about a month so no tire rotation yet.

Maybe a tool similar to this would do what you want (i do not know if it would or would not)

Thanks. I am not sure either. I think I will just hold off until my first rotation.
