1. Method for utilizing a system for monitoring pressures and/or temperatures of tires of a vehicle (C) comprising one or more rolling sub-assemblies (100, 200), each of the rolling sub-assemblies having a chassis, axles, and wheels, each wheel having a tire, said system including the following:

  • measurement pick-up and communication modules (300) associated with each wheel (R) for taking measurements of the pressure and/or of the temperature of the tire of each wheel,at least one reception and transmission module (400) for information transmitted at radio frequencies (RF) by the measurement pick-up modules and arranged on the axle or the chassis of the vehicle (C),a means of display and management (500) available in the cab for the driver of the vehicle (C) and communicating by wired network or by radio frequencies (RF) with said reception and transmission module or modules (300),wherein the method includes installing on each rolling sub-assembly (100, 200), an additional storage and communication module (300

    ) comprising;

    a data storage means in which are recorded, during a learning phase, a set of unique identifiers and the locations of each measurement pick-up and communication module (300) of said rolling sub-assembly (100, 200),a means of communication transmitting in radio frequencies (RF) and receiving in low frequencies (LF) communicating at least with the reception and transmission module or modules (400),a means of storing energy for the purposes of powering the communication means,in such a way that said storage and communication module (300

    ) can retain in memory the set of identifiers and associated locations of the same rolling sub-assembly (100, 200); and

    communicating the set of identifiers and associated locations so that the set of identifiers and associated locations are readily available to the system.
