Super sensitive TPMS?

Hey all, I should have probably included this in my other thread, but a friend with a 507 is having an issue with the TPMS warning her about low tire pressures every couple weeks. When I check the car out, the pressures are down by at most 2 PSI, is the system really that sensitive? Is there any way to change that? It has been pretty hot here in Phoenix so I can see how the pressure probably changes a lot going from sitting in the cool garage all night and then driving in the 115 degree heat.

When she gives me the car to take a look at it, the tires are *mostly* hot, so I over-inflate them a little on purpose thinking that they will drop a little once they cool down, but what do you guys recommend?

You can reset the reference value to use current pressure as new reference
values.

This happens on my car as well and the outside temp doesn't exceed 85 degrees Fahrenheit on most days. I thought it was a bad sensor because similar to yours, it's never off by more than two PSI.
