Abstract
An electronic control unit, ECU, for monitoring at least two tire sensors in at least two tires in a vehicle is provided. The ECU is arranged to obtain a tire sensor location of each of the at least two tire sensors relative to a tire sensor reader location on-board the vehicle. The ECU is also arranged to adapt a tire sensor interrogation time instant of each of the at least two tire sensors based on the obtained relative tire sensor location of each of the at least two tire sensors.
