Method for checking the operating of a transponder of a vehicle wheel

摘要

A temperature value is measured by a sensor connected to transponder. A breach of overheat threshold is detected. A diagnostic procedure is carried out by reader arranged in vehicle e.g. automobile. A command on a temperature sensitive component e.g. electrically EPROM (EEPROM) of transponder is executed. The reader determines transponder state as function of the response to the command to be executed. The transponder is operational if the response is legible. Otherwise, either the memory content is corrupted or the transponder is no longer working properly. An independent claim is included for a tire pressure monitoring system.
