Flat tire( low tire)--01/02/03/05/05/06/07/08

on an Airbus Aircraft and most modern a/c and inluding high end vehicals down the road and some now on the road with built in air,(my Infinity has it,a low tire indicator on the dash)will know when a tire is flat.
Technology from Aircraft,Space vehicals, war vehicals eventualy filters down to the auto industry, they(auto ind) have a stake in military and aviation for just this reason -Technology-Ford builds the Abrams (or has a stake in it)
Saab, Gm, all involved in the technology.

I fix heavy jets for a living and the technology is unbelievable,
i can troubleshoot and flush a toilet from the cockpit using onbard maintenance computers,the aircraft puts out a post flt report of all snags encountered during flt, granted some are spurious but most are valid.
give it time, your car will do the same, you look for codes now, eventualy it will print out on paper or your onboard maintenance screen and give you the most likely area or part to change first.
its all here already.

Last word---never give up on hands on 'old skool' diagnostic experience you still have to think and troubleshoot using your brain.
