Tire pressure monitoring system and method
First Claim
1. A tire pressure monitoring system comprising:
- 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 including;
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;
wherein 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.

5. A tire pressure monitoring method comprising:
-
detecting a tire pressure of each of tires of a vehicle;
transmitting radio signals indicative of a detected tire pressure of each tire and each corresponding ID code provided to each tire separately;
receiving the radio signals;
registering the ID code of each tire by updating data stored in a memory; and
determining whether the vehicle has been jacked up;
