Default Tire Pressure Sensors

It appears that my tpms sensors read higher than the actual tire pressure. I have checked them with two quality gauges and they seem to be off on all of them compared to my dash display readings. Has any other owners experienced this?

See, all five of mine, which are brand new, read 2 PSI low, and I have three different Accugage dial gauges by which to measure them against.

Hmm, the RV6 is pretty cool but seems like a ton of extra gear for a passenger car that already has (admittedly sub-par at times) TPMS. I think back to my old Jeep I had in my late teens - I had old-fashioned TPMS called ears and road feel :-) Shucks, I just never had a need for something that fancy. Then again, with as often as Mr. Murphy and his law come knocking at my door, who knows if this might actually be something that would come in handy for me. Thankfully here in FL, our roads are pretty darned nice compared to where I grew up (Detroit) so tires seem to last quite a while down here.

If you have a tire pressure monitor that is failing, is there a way to identify exactly which one it is so I don't have to replace all 5?
