Abstract:
1. A sensor identification registration method of registering an identification of a plurality of air pressure sensors mounted on respective tires of a vehicle in a memory in a state where a position of the tire is identifiable, said air pressure sensor being equipped with a reception function and a plurality of transmitters being provided on a body of said vehicle, each of said transmitters being made to encompass only one of the tires in its transmission area, said method comprising: a transmission step in which one of said plurality of transmitters provided on said vehicle body transmits an identification transmission request to one of said air pressure sensors, the one of said air pressure sensors existing in the transmission area corresponding to one of the transmitters and including transmission/reception means for transmission of an identification of the one of said air pressure sensors, and the one of said air pressure sensors transmits its own identification in response to an identification transmission request transmitted from one of said transmitters; a reception step in which a receiver of said vehicle body receives said identification transmitted from the one of said air pressure sensors in said transmission step; and a registration step in which said identification received in said reception step is registered in said memory while specifying the tire position in relation to said transmitter which has transmitted said identification transmission request.
