The TPMS in the Jazz only tells you that 'a' tyre has lost pressure, not which, and certainly not by how much.
As is the case with these kind of situations, seeing as my wife is driving down to Solihull (from N. E. Scotland) this coming Sunday with her mother to see her sister, i discovered yesterday that there was a slow leak on one of the rear tyres!. Having checked them all and topped them all up last Thursday (after the warning started showing), the warning came on again yesteday. After checking all 4 tyres again i found that 3 were fine, but the n/s rear had lost 7psi. And being a motability car, it isn't as straightforward as simply going to a local tyre fitter. I mean i could have, and if they had managed to repair the tyre, all well and good. But if they had to replace it i'd have to pay for it, then claim the money back from motability, and that of course, would be assuming the local tyre fitter had a 185/55 R16 in stock!. The nearest Motability approved place is Kwik Fit, and there are 4 of them in Aberdeen (just over 30 miles away), so i phoned the one most convenient for me. "No problem, just take it in", but after explaining about the odd size of tyre, "Oh, we don't have any in stock, let me check other branches". So i ended up having to go to one right in the city centre, and, of course, they managed to fix it!.
