Abstract
A tire pressure and location monitoring system includes N tire pressure sensors associated with N tires of a vehicle, where N is an integer greater than one. A tire pressure and location monitoring system is configured to communicate with the N tire pressure sensors, store a tire rotation map, and determine whether new locations of the N tires, including the N tire pressure sensors, on the vehicle are correct after a tire rotation is performed based on the tire rotation map.
Claims20
A tire pressure and location monitoring system comprising:
- N tire pressure sensors associated with N tires of a vehicle, where N is an integer greater than one;
- and
- a tire pressure and location monitoring system configured to:
- communicate with the N tire pressure sensors;
- store a tire rotation map;
- and
- determine whether new locations of the N tires, including the N tire pressure sensors, on the vehicle are correct after a tire rotation is performed based on the tire rotation map.
A method for monitoring tire pressure and location on a vehicle, comprising:
- providing N tire pressure sensors for N tires of a vehicle, where N is an integer greater than one;
- using a tire pressure monitoring and location system:
- receiving data from the N tire pressure sensors;
- storing a tire rotation map for the N tire pressure sensors;
- and
- determining whether new locations of the N tires, including the N tire pressure sensors, on the vehicle are correct after a tire rotation is performed based on the tire rotation map.
