A method for identifying tire location including the steps of transmitting a low frequency signal at different power levels and receiving radio frequency identification signals. Tire identification and location based on low frequency power level for two tire transmitters is determined. Radio frequency signals from two different tire transmitters are received and tire identification and location are determined based on radio frequency signal strength.

Method and apparatus for determining identifiable tire position location in a tire pressure monitoring system

A system () is provided for monitoring a remote tire monitoring sensor. The system includes a tire-based unit () having a sensor () and transmitter () that receives power from a power supply () located within the tire-based unit (). The transmitter () transmits a signal () relating to a parameter measured by the sensor (). The system () further includes a controller () that evaluates the life of the power supply () by monitoring energy usage of the power supply () by counting the number of occurrences in which the energy usage is above a prescribed amount () and comparing the number of occurrences to an energy threshold ().
