Tire Pressure Sensor and svc tire monitor
Test drove a 2009 HHR LS at a lot. Yellow tire warning light was on and message in green read LOW TIRE PRESSURE. I liked the car and said fix it and I'll buy it. Tire pressure was fine, the sensor had been removed from one wheel (front left, I believe). They replaced the sensor and I bought it. Within 10 miles the tire warning light was back on this time with the message SVC TIRE MONITOR. Waddaya think? Something simple, or was the sensor removed to mask a bigger problem. Please weigh in if you have seen something like this before. Thanks.

Go Back and have them re program it again. Just takes a couple minutes. Manually check the air pressure in that tire to make sure it is inflated to the correct pressure first. Check the drivers door jam for the correct air pressure. Probably 30lbs. cold.
I have had the same issue several times at different dealers.

Aaaaaaak! Well, they reprogrammed it to do something. Warning light is off, tire pressure is displayed, but no odometer reading now. (I suspect they don't have the correct software installed.) Try again tomorrow. Oh...and they broke the electronic door lock while they were at it. Wish me luck.

Somebody had a computer and no training. Then decided to make a low tech problem a high tech screwup.
I take it that this is not a GM dealership? I fear that they will need to take it to a dealership now, I think they may have corrupted the firmware (only available for a price).
The TPMS is the same module as the remote door locks. Don't know how they screwed the odometer, the DMV might be involved now.
