1. A method for identifying a sensor location in an initiator based tire pressure monitoring system, the method comprising the steps of:

  • activating at least one initiator directed to at least one sensor in a known tire location;

    counting the number of transmissions sent during a predetermined period of time for each sensor responding to the at least one initiator;

    ranking a plurality of potential sensor identifications based on the number of counted transmissions for each sensor in response to the at least one initiator;

    assigning the potential sensor identification having the highest number of transmissions to the at least one sensor in the known tire location.
