At least yours are consistently out - mine vary on the same axle.

Yes agreed annoying, but without seeing the specs 2 PSI is probably about right.

I don't know the system, so this might not be relevant but are they internal or external sensors? If they are external, does the higher value one swap when you swap them over?

Is there any way of calibrating them?

I have had TPMS on a number of vehicles and the Suzuki Jimny seems unique in the discrepancies shown on screen between the four tyres in contact with the road. I'm not aware of any way of calibrating the system on the Jimny - but setting tyre pressures should be and is a relatively simple task. I have used a variety of pressure gauges including mechanical and electronic to ensure all 4 tyres are set to the recommended spec but it appears rather a challenge to get the TPMS to show them all at 26 psig .I don't seem to have any other issues with tyre pressures, as once set, pressure remains the same for several months. It's my understanding that the sensors are external.
