Abstract:
1. An automobile tire monitoring method which comprises the following steps: a) providing the automobile tire pressure monitoring system comprising: a plurality of transmitting and detecting units each separately provided on a different tire of a vehicle and a receiving and display unit; each transmitting and detecting unit including a sensor, a controlling and transmitting circuit and a transmitting antenna; and the receiving and display unit includes a receiving unit, a main control unit and a display unit, the receiving and display unit also comprises several plug-in code memories, each of the plug-in code memories has a fixed ID code, each transmitting and detecting unit has a fixed ID code which corresponds to the ID code fixed in one of said several plug-in memories: b) starting and initializing the system; c) reading in ID codes from the plug-in code memories; d) establishing and saving a corresponding relationship between the read in ID codes and tire identification; e) receiving data from at least one of the transmitting and detecting units; e) determining whether an ID code in received data corresponds to one of the read in ID codes; f) if the ID code in the received date does not match one of the read in ID codes discard the received data and wait to receive more data from at least one of the transmitting and detecting units; g) if the ID code in the received date does matches one of the read in ID codes, display information in the received data; and h) continue monitoring tire pressure by repeating steps e) through h).
