Why would my air compressor's tire gauge shoot up and fluctuate wildly?

My air compressor works on 3 of my 4 tires, showing the tire pressure accurately. On the "issue" tire, it shoots up and down wildly, up near the top range of the gauge. The tire is low, but not flat. I think it may have something to do with the valve stem, but am not sure. Please help!

    I think you nailed it. Replace the valve stem.

    The tire sensor valve on the tire that is low, it is sending bad info to the compressor. Dealership repair.
