<p>A tire condition communication system (10) is intended for incorporation into a vehicle (12). A tire condition sensing unit (e.g., 18A) of the system (10) is operable to sense a tire condition and to transmit a signal (e.g., 24A) indicative of the sensed condition. A vehicle-based unit (28) of the system (10) receives the condition indicative signal (e.g., 24A). A communication arrangement (e.g., 42A and 48A) of the system (10) has a first portion (e.g., 40A) associated with the vehicle-based unit (28) and a second portion (e.g., 48A) associated with the tire condition sensing unit (e.g., 18A). The communication arrangement conveys a control signal (e.g., 44A) from the vehicle-based unit (28) to the tire condition sensing unit (e.g., 18A) that causes the tire condition sensing unit to continue operation during conveyance of the control signal. <IMAGE></p> |
