A tire pressure monitoring sensor comprises an environmental pressure sensor, a non-volatile memory for storing a first program and a second program, a processing unit for executing the first program, a communication module including a wireless transmitter for transmitting at least one parameter indicative of conditions within a tire and a wireless or wired receiver for loading the second program into the non-volatile memory and a battery for powering the sensor. The second program contains a sensor operation description which is used by the first program.

Cross-platform universal tire pressure monitoring sensor

A programming unit for TPMS sensors includes at least a microcontroller and memory storing at least a vehicle group database comprising multiple vehicle groups, each vehicle group comprising at least one vehicle, a version pair database comprising multiple version pair groups, each version pair group representing one vehicle group and comprising at least one version pair wherein each version pair includes an associated application version and an associated sub-application version, an application database comprising multiple application versions, each application version includes an associated binary file, and a sub-application database comprising multiple sub-application versions, each sub-application version includes an associated binary file.

Tire pressure monitoring sensor

A wheel unit including an environmental pressure sensor, a non-volatile memory for storing a first program and a second program and configuration code, a processing unit for executing the programs, a communication module comprising a wireless transmitter for transmitting at least one parameter indicative of conditions within a tire and a wireless or wired receiver for loading the second program into the non-volatile memory and a battery for powering the wheel unit. The second program may be loaded to the memory by the first program and configured by the configuration code to operate within a specific TPM system.
