Method and system for transmitting an identifier of a valve of a wheel of a vehicle to a receiver on board this vehicle

A method of communicating data from a valve of a wheel to a receiver on board a vehicle, the receiver including a buffer and an identifier code memory, the method comprising:

• transmitting a data frame comprising data including at least a valve identifier code from the valve and event data excitation of the valve;
• replacing data stored in the buffer of the receiver with the data of the data frame;
• reading and processing the data stored in the buffer with the diagnostic instrument including verification of the data based upon a predefined format;
• validating the data read from the buffer;
• and
• writing the valve identifier code from the data validated to the identifier code memory without matching the valve identifier code to a wheel identifier code.

A system for transmitting data identifying a valve of a wheel to a receiver on board a vehicle, the system comprising:

• a transmitter instrument to perform a valve excitation event;
• a valve transmitter associated with the valve, to transmit a data frame from the valve to the receiver in response to a valve excitation event, the data frame comprising data including at least a valve identifier code and event data indicating a type of valve excitation event that caused excitation of the valve;
• a buffer in the receiver to replace data stored therein with the data contained in the data frame received;
• a identifier code memory in the receiver;
• and
• a diagnostic instrument to read the data stored in the buffer including verification of the data based upon a predefined format, and write the valve identifier code without matching of the valve identifier code to a wheel identifier code, to the identifier code memory in the receiver based upon validation of the data read from the buffer.
