Claim 5:
6. A sensor for a motor vehicle, said vehicle comprising a plurality of wheels and a computer, said sensor being intended to be mounted in a wheel of said vehicle, said sensor being configured for:
measuring at least one value of an internal pressure of the tire of the wheel;
detecting that the vehicle has been raised if an absolute value of the difference between the at least one measured internal pressure value and a predetermined reference internal pressure value is greater than a predetermined pressure difference threshold;
transmitting a raising detection signal to the computer;
in a raising mode, periodically measuring an acceleration along the axis of rotation of the wheel; and
detecting a detachment of the wheel if the absolute value of the variation of the measured acceleration is greater than a predetermined acceleration variation threshold.
