Method for adjusting a TPMS sensor module, and TPMS sensor module

A method for adjusting a tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor module, the method comprising:

• arranging a number of TPMS sensor modules within an environment);
• applying, to the number of TPMS sensor modules, a signal containing information associated with a change from a first operating mode to a second operating mode,
• wherein the first operating mode includes an inactive standby state, and
• wherein the second operating mode includes measuring a physical parameter using one or more of a pressure sensor or an additional sensor of the TPMS sensor module and reading the one or more of the pressure sensor or the additional sensor;
• and
• applying a physical parameter to a TPMS sensor module, of the number of TPMS sensor modules, wherein the TPMS sensor module detects a measurement event and changes over from the second operating mode to a third operating mode based on detecting the measurement event.

A tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor module, comprising:

• a sensor configured to:
• measure a physical parameter of a tire associated with the TPMS sensor module, and
• generate measurement data based on measuring the physical parameter;
• and
• a microcontroller unit configured to:
• cause the TPMS sensor module to operate in a first operating mode associated with an inactive standby state;
• cause the TPMS sensor module to operate in a second operating mode,
• wherein the sensor, based on the TPMS sensor module operating in the second operating mode, measures the physical parameter and generates the measurement data based on measuring the physical parameter;
• receive the measurement data;
• determine an occurrence of a measurement event based on the measurement data;
• and
• initiate a changeover from the second operating mode to a third operating mode based on the occurrence of the measurement event,
• wherein a test procedure associated with the sensor is performed based on the changeover from the second operating mode to the third operating mode.
