Vehicle information processing apparatus and id registration method

摘要

A vehicle information processing apparatus provided in a vehicle (10) is provided with a TPMS valve (20) that includes an air pressure sensor which obtains a tire air pressure as wheel information and a wheel-side communication device that transmits the wheel information and an ID unique to that wheel-side communication device at regular intervals; an ECU (30) which receives the wheel information from the wheel-side communication device in each TPMS valve (20) via a vehicle body-side communication device (25) and processes that wheel information; and an onboard battery (29) which supplies power to the ECU (30). Upon receiving a command to shift into a verification mode while power is being supplied from the onboard battery (29), the ECU (30) performs a predetermined verification based on a signal transmitted at regular intervals from each wheel-side communication device. After receiving the command to shift into the verification mode, the ECU (30) remains in the verification mode until a preset condition is satisfied.
