Abstract

See full text

A system and method for monitoring the location of each of a plurality of tires that are selectively and rotatably attached to a vehicle. A plurality of monitors are placed on the vehicle either within the air compartment of tire or proximate to the tire, monitoring either the air pressure or rotation of one of the plurality of tires, and transmitting the monitoring data to a receiving module in the vehicle. The receiving module determines if a tire attachment location-changing event has occurred on the vehicle based upon a change in tire pressure or a predetermined sequence of tire rotation, and preferably requests input of new tire locations on the vehicle.
