Claim:
1. A method of locating the positions of wheels ( 2 - 5 ) of a vehicle ( 1 ) equipped with an electronic module ( 6 - 9 ) adapted to transmit to a central unit ( 11 ), mounted on the vehicle ( 1 ), signals comprising data representative of operating parameters of each wheel ( 2 - 5 ) and an identification code of said electronic module, said location method comprising: equipping the vehicle ( successively commanding the transmission of a predetermined number of identification request signals by each transmitting antenna ( calculating values which are representative, for each electronic module ( and executing a location procedure which is adapted, by analysis of the values representative of the reception rates T said location method being characterized in that: in a preliminary step, a predetermined geometric reference frame (CT) is defined, and the following are defined within this reference frame: the coordinates {right arrow over (TA for each wheel position, the coordinates of the centroid {right arrow over (LA the following location procedures are executed: defining, for each electronic module ( determining, on the basis of the relative position between the reference centroids {right arrow over (LA
