Question
How accurate are TPMS sensors in measuring tire pressure?
Answer
Most sensors have an accuracy of ±1 to ±2 PSI, which meets global safety standards.
Explain
Lab-grade gauges are more precise (±0.1 PSI), but TPMS accuracy is sufficient for real-world use—±2 PSI won’t affect tire safety or fuel efficiency. CHEPQ sensors undergo 3-point calibration (10/30/50 PSI) to ensure accuracy across common tire pressure ranges.
