Method for monitoring the air pressure of vehicle tyres

Abstract

Abstract Each send pause between two successive data transmissions from the individual tyre pressure control devices (4a-4d) is monit by the central control unit (10). The send pause expires after the receiving of a data transmission sent from a defined tyre pressure control device. The vehicle's tyre pressure is then at least monitored by an additional tyre pressure control system if least one send pause exceeds a predetermined threshold value. A warning signal is produced if at least one send pause exceeds a predetermined second threshold value which is greater than the first. An Independent claim is included for a motor vehicle equipped with a tyre pressure control system used in the proposed procedure.
