Abstract
A tire pressure monitoring system includes a tire pressure detecting device attached to each of tires of a vehicle and detecting a tire pressure, a transmitting device that transmits radio signals indicative of a detected tire pressure of each tire and each corresponding ID code provided to each tire separately, a receiving device attached to a vehicle body side and receiving the radio signals from the transmitting device, and a controller that controls a tire deflation warning. The controller includes an ID code registration section that registers the ID code of each tire by updating data stored in a memory, and a jack-up determination section that determines whether the vehicle has been jacked up. The ID code registration section performs registration of the ID code of each tire when the jack-up determination section determines that the vehicle has been jacked up. A tire pressure monitoring method is also provided.
