Gettin' colder outside...check your tire pressure

How accurate are the TPS sensors? I filled my tires to 39 this morning and the TPS read 32. I'm sure my digital gauge on the air compressor could be off, but it is usually within 2 or 3 psi of every other gauge I have ever used. 7 seems very extreme.
Mine are real accurate. I have a tire pressure gauge that I use when filling my tires that is readable to ½psi. I can set them at exactly 35 psi then go drive the Z and my TPMS will read 35 on all four wheels.
BTW, my gauge is a QuickCar racing gauge. It's about $35 bucks but is worth every $$$$. I've wasted more than that over the years on cheap pencil and dial gauges that don't read consistently, and are highly inaccurate.
7psi difference seems like a problem. I would suspect your compressor gauge is off.

Thanks for the info on the QuickCar.
Here's one additional note on the accuracy of the TPMS. The manufacturer claims ±2% up to 150psi. At 35psi it should be ±0.7, so in reality the pressure should be within 1 psi of the actual amount.
