I forgot to mention, if it says SVC tire monitor, it means there is a problem with the monitoring system (battery dead in tire unit, receiver bad, etc). If a tire is low a different message is displayed, "check tire pressure" (I think).
In any case, scroll through the DIC displays until you see the tire pressures for the 4 tires. If there are any dashes instead of a reading, that sending unit is not working. If all are dashes, that could mean a bad receiver or all 4 sending units are bad( dead battery usually).

I saw a battery in the back one time when I was looking around in the HHR. It looks like a typical car battery and thought it got recharged automatically along with the battery under the hood. Is that true or do I have to recharge that with a recharger? Why would it be dead?

That receipt does not say anything about failing. Go to your local big box auto parts store and ask them to read your OBD2, then tell us what the codes are, we don't care what is "says". The codes will tell what is wrong and be sure to ask for I/M Readiness (that will tell what test is not run).
Why do I care if the Beltsville Self serve kiosk is not working?
Now we know you are in Maryland .
Once again a link in my sig leads to a free Owner Manual.

Each tire has a small pressure sensor inside the tire attached to the tire valve stem. This sensor has a built-in small battery (like a watch battery size) that usually lasts around 8-10 years. This battery itself cannot be replaced, the whole sensor must be replaced.
