Abstract:
Method and apparatus are disclosed for localizing vehicle TPMS sensors. An example vehicle includes a plurality of TPMS sensors, a communication module, and a processor. The processor is configured for receiving, from a mobile device communicatively coupled to the communication module, a localization request comprising a tire location. The processor is also configured for transmitting wakeup requests to the plurality of TPMS sensors. And the processor is further configured for, responsive to determining signal strength values between each of the plurality of TPMS sensors and the mobile device, associating a selected TPMS sensor with the tire location.

Claim (Index 7):
The vehicle of  claim 1 , wherein the TPMS sensors include a first TPMS sensor and a second TPMS sensor corresponding respectively to an inner tire and an outer tire positioned on the same side of a vehicle axle, wherein, when the mobile device is nearest to the inner tire, the processor is to:\n wake up the first and second TPMS sensors; determine a time of flight value between the first TPMS sensor and the mobile device and a second time of flight value between the second TPMS sensor and the mobile device; determine that the second time of flight value is greater than the first time of flight value; and responsively identify that the inner tire includes the first TPMS sensor.
