Method and system for monitoring the wheels of a motor vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring the wheels of a motor vehicle having an antilock brake system, for fault states, the occurrence of a fault state and the wheel position of the wheel at which the fault state has occurred being indicated, wherein each wheel to be monitored is assigned a wheel unit which monitors the respective wheel for fault states, and wherein at least the wheel position of a wheel at which a fault state has occurred is determined by means of output signals of sensors of the antilock brake system.

Abstract
The method comprises the steps of monitoring the wheels (R1, R2, R3, R4,) of a motor vehicle having an antilock brake system (ABS), for fault states, in particular for incorrect tire pressures, the occurrence of a fault state and the wheel position (FL, FR, RL, RR) of the wheel (R1, R2, R3, R4,) at which the fault state has occurred being indicated. Each wheel (R1, R2, R3, R4,) to be monitored is assigned a wheel unit (E1, E2, E3, E4) which monitors the respective wheel (R1, R2, R3, R4,) for fault states, and wherein at least the wheel position (FL, FR, RL, RR) of a wheel (R1, R2, R3, R4,) at which a fault state has occurred is determined by means of output signals of sensors (S1, S2, S3, S4) of the antilock brake system (ABS).
