Tire pressure monitor
Woke up Sunday morning to find the PS rear tire flat. Upon taking it off and looking it over, I found a nail in it.
Tire can't be repaired as nail is in the sidewall area. Replacement is on order.
Meanwhile, she's sporting the spare tire.
TPMS light is not on?!? It does light during starting the HHR, so I know the bulb is good.
What gives??? I really don't know to much about the system and how it works, not getting much from reading the good book.

Ok, I can see how the monitor can still "see" the wheel with it being in the back.
But, I was under the impression that the warning light should be "on", seeing as how the tire is flat. Isn't the whole point of the system to warn you of a low tire?
Guess I need to do some reading on it, see if I can gain any knowledge about how it all is supose to work.
