Method and system for resetting tire pressure monitoring system for an automotive vehicle

A system comprising:

• a vehicle speed sensor generating a vehicle speed signal;
• a receiver operating using a first protocol when the vehicle speed signal is below a speed threshold and operating using a second protocol when the vehicle speed signal is above the speed threshold;
• a remote keyless entry system coupled to the receiver operating when the speed signal is below a speed threshold, said remote keyless entry system receiving signals from a keyless entry transmitter using the first protocol;
• and
• a tire pressure monitoring system coupled to the receiver, said tire pressure monitoring system having a pressure transmitter generating a signal using a first protocol and a second protocol when the speed signal is below the speed threshold and generating the signal using only the second protocol when the speed is above the speed threshold.

A method comprising:

• determining a vehicle speed;
• when the vehicle speed is below a speed threshold, operating a remote keyless entry system using the first protocol;
• when the vehicle speed is below a speed threshold, generating a first preamble signal and a first data signal using a first protocol, a second preamble signal and a second data signal using a second protocol from a tire pressure sensor;
• when the vehicle is below the speed threshold, operating a receiver using the first protocol;
• when the vehicle is above the speed threshold, disabling the remote keyless entry system;
• and
• when the vehicle is above the speed threshold, operating the receiver using the second protocol.
