Patent ID: 6978196

Claim:
Method of matching an identifier of an emitting valve of a wheel with an identifier of the wheel registered in a memory of an onboard computer of a motor vehicle, the emitting valve configured to emit, in response to a specific excitation, a specific field of radio signals containing at least one valve identifier and one specific state, an onboard receiver receiving the specific field and transmitting the specific field to the onboard computer, and the onboard computer decoding the specific field, the method comprising: specific excitation of the emitting valve; receiving the specific field emitted in response to the specific excitation; decoding the specific field; analyzing the at least one valve identifier and one specific state data contained in the specific field and recognizing the identifier of the emitting valve; presenting to an operator at least the valve identifier data contained in the specific field, and rendering the data distinguishable; matching the identifier of the wheel with the identifier of the emitting valve by the operator; and inputting in the memory the identifier of the emitting valve matching the identifier of the wheel; wherein said presenting is made by a diagnostic tool, the diagnostic tool receiving the at least one valve identifier and one specific state data by the onboard receiver.
