Abstract
Data transmitted from a newly installed tire sensor is integrated into monitoring apparatus having data from previously integrated tire sensors stored therein. Each of the newly installed and previously integrated tire sensors periodically transmits a unique identification code. The method comprises placing the monitoring apparatus into a programming mode, entering the tire location of the newly installed tire sensor in the monitoring apparatus, entering a fraction of the identification code for the newly installed tire sensor in the monitoring apparatus, placing the monitoring apparatus in a comparing mode, transmitting the identification codes from the newly installed and previously integrated tire sensors to the monitoring apparatus, comparing the transmitted identification codes with the identification codes and fraction of the identification code previously stored and entered in the monitoring apparatus, storing in the monitoring apparatus the full identification code transmitted from the newly installed tire sensor if a sequential portion of the full identification code matches the previously entered fraction thereof, and switching the monitoring apparatus to an operational mode.
