Abstract
A pulse count part acquires the minimum value among the numbers of pulse signals outputted by respective wheel-speed sensors during a wheel speed is within a minute low speed range. The pulse count part sets said minimum value as the numbers of the pulse signals of respective wheel-speed sensors during the wheel speed is within the minute low speed range, when the wheel speed increases out of said minute low speed range. Thereby, even when a vehicle stops in the middle of a wheel location discrimination treatment, a wheel location discrimination treatment can be continued using a proper pulse count value.
