Abstract
A tire air pressure monitoring apparatus includes a plurality of transmitters provided in respective tires on a vehicle and a receiver mounted on the body frame of the vehicle. Each transmitter radio-transmits data regarding the internal air pressure of the associated tire. The receiver receives radio-transmitted data from each transmitter. The receiver displays the received data on a display and stores the data in a non-volatile memory. When a request signal from a predetermined external communication apparatus is received, the receiver radio-transmits data stored in the non-volatile memory to the external communication apparatus. This allows various kinds of data such as air pressure data to be easily loaded from the receiver to the external communication apparatus.
