A system ( ) for monitoring an operating parameter of a tire ( ) on a vehicle ( ) includes an identification ( ) connected to a vehicle rim ( ) that conveys a rim identification code. A tire-based unit ( ) senses an operating parameter of the tire ( ) and provides a radio frequency signal ( ) indicative of a sensed operating parameter of the tire and an identification code of the tire-based unit. A rim identification sensor ( ) detects the identification ( ) and provides a rim identification signal ( ) indicative of the rim identification code and the position of the rim ( ) on the vehicle ( ). The system also includes electronics ( ) for receiving the radio frequency signal ( ) and the rim identification signal ( ). The electronics ( ) correlate the radio frequency signal ( ) with the rim identification signal ( ) to associate the radio frequency signal with the position on the vehicle ( ) where the tire ( ) is mounted.
