Abstract:
1. A method for stimulating wheel electronics systems of single tires of at least one tire group of a motor vehicle, which comprises the following steps: emitting a trigger signal from a low frequency (LF) trigger to the wheel electronics systems of a relevant tire group with a variably adjustable first transmission field strength; sending radio frequency (RF) signals from the wheel electronics systems at which a sufficiently high transmission field strength of the trigger signal has been received to a vehicle-side receiving unit, the RF signals containing an item of trigger information; determining a number of RF signals received by the vehicle-side receiving unit, each containing one item of trigger information; and assigning the wheel electronics systems to the single tires where a number of RF signals received by the vehicle-side receiving unit is equal to a number of wheel electronics systems of the single tires within a respective tire group.
