I never thought about my TPMS in those terms, but what I think you're saying is that if the ssensor reads decreasing pressure, it "reports that to the monitor which displays the information"... But if the sensor "disappears" the monitor just keeps on waiting for a signal.... Hmmmmm

I'm going to have to do some "experimenting this summer" to see if I can figure this out
