Debbie's is the same.
Do others see 36.8 and 42.6 PSI on the Tire Pressure screen?
On this video the Tire Pressure screen also shows 36.8 and 42.6 for Spec.

At the end of this morning's 90-mile jaunt up to Smithville Lake, I did some more fiddling and have pretty much established that there's been a fair amount of smoke-blowing (or myth perpetuating) going on about how quickly the TPMS/TFT system can update a tire pressure and display it.
During the ride, the back was about 43.7 (just making sure!) but the front was reading about 35.4 (which was odd, because I'd topped it off yesterday afternoon).
Anyway, both readings held solid throughout today's 90 miles, so when I got home and situated, I topped off the front to 37.5 or so (by my Ryobi pump's gauge), then "hit the button" and (within a few minutes of ending the ride) scrolled through the "Status Line" TWICE and ended up seeing the reading below (36.5!).
So, it doesn't appear to be some sort of "rolling average" and it doesn't typically read out 2-3 lbs MORE than a hand-held gauge, but more like about a pound LESS. Now that I've got everything set up at or above the "spec" (I suppose), I'm just going to monitor it.
