Abstract
A method for operating wheel electronics of a tire checking system includes providing wheel electronics having a battery-free power supply encompassing at least one rechargeable power storage medium for supplying power to the wheel electronics. The wheel electronics can be operated in a reduced-power transmission mode and a subsequent normal transmission mode. In the modes, data that relate to tire-specific parameters and are determined by the wheel electronics are transmitted to a vehicle-mounted communication device in the form of modulated transmission signals, with less transmission power being used for the transmission signals in the power-reduced transmission mode than in the normal transmission mode. Wheel electronics and a tire checking system are also provided.

22. A method for operating a wheel electronics system of a tire checking system, the method comprising the following steps:
-
providing a battery-free power supply having at least one rechargeable power storage medium in the wheel electronics system for supplying power to the wheel electronics system; the wheel electronics system being operable in a power-reduced transmission mode and in a subsequent normal transmission mode; determining data relating to tire-specific parameters with the wheel electronics system; and transmitting the data to a vehicle-mounted communication device as modulated transmission signals, with less transmission power being used for the transmission signals in the power-reduced transmission mode than in the normal transmission mode. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
