1. A method of locating at least one wheel on a vehicle, the method which comprises:

  • a) receiving, in a measurement system, a signal from a first sensor mounted on the wheel, the signal indicating an angular position for the wheel;

    b) receiving, in the measurement system, a measured value from a second sensor, measuring an angular position of a wheel and being associated with a particular location on the vehicle;

    c) determining, in the measurement system, a phase angle of the signal from the first sensor in relation to the measured value from the second sensor; and

    d) locating the wheel on the vehicle by associating the first sensor with the second sensor, in the measurement system, if the phase angle remains within a prescribed tolerance range within a given observation period.
