Tire pressure monitor, one is way off
So the light went on, and said left rear was 15 psi. I wanted to check all of them anyway, and did. I have a fancy one in the work truck, with a short hose and a gauge. LR was actually around 28 psi, not far off the recommended 33, which the other 3 were right on. May have a nail in it, I did add air on Sunday. I guess I need to understand where the sensor is, how it works, and if it can be replaced.
The sensor is in the wheel. It is battery powered. It can be replaced by any normal tire shop.

UPDATE: On the dash, it'* saying left rear, but it'* actually the right rear that was low! Down to 3psi, and I took it on the highway!
So, I filled it when I got home, but why is it saying it'* the wrong wheel? Is there a sequence for rotating tires?

UPDATE: I aired it up last night, and back to 10psi this morning, so I took it to Mr. Tire, it was leaking at the bead! Not too common. The rim isn't dented or cracked, so they put some bead sealer on, and reprogrammed the monitors. Back in business!
