         My cheap calibration protocol is to take a reading with three =
different gauges If the results are within a pound (+_) I figure it's =
close enough for a car tire. =20
        As an aside, my Nissan truck has a simple TPS waring light on =
the dash, but if I plug in my code scanner it gives me the tire pressure =
in as read from each of the tire sensors.
        Best,
        Bob.
