Abstract
A disclosed system for monitoring and locating a position of a tire pressure monitoring device within a tire includes a controller configured to detect a first transmission from a first sensor installed within a first wheel and a second transmission from a second sensor installed within a second wheel coupled to the first wheel. The controller and system utilizes a relative angular position corresponding to receipt of the transmissions to identify a lead and trailing tire pressure monitoring device. The controller is then enabled to correlate the signals with a known sequence of sensors to determine within which of the coupled tire assembly includes which tire pressure monitoring device.
