(Another) TPMS Thread

Does anyone know if TPMS can be "calibrated"? After reviewing these threads, I have been checking my TPMS readings against an accurate gauge. TPMS is consistently showing 5 plus/minus psi lower than the gauge. I spoke to the service advisor at the dealer - he said, "I know - that's the way it is". Anyone have any thoughts?

Mr. Berlin is infamous around these parts

make sure you have it set to partial and not full if its +5 over, vice versa for 5 under.

I understand that part - the problem I have is that the 4 corner pressure readings on the TPMS display are 5 psi lower that the actual measured (gauge) numbers.
