Abstract
A preliminary positioning method for a TPMS uses a receiver to receive a tire pressure signal, then obtains the ID code contained in the obtained tire pressure signal, then compares the ID code with the corresponding ID codes stored in the database, and defines the ID code as a known ID code, when the ID code is found to match with one of the corresponding ID codes prestored in the database. Repeating the above steps until the ID codes of all received tire pressure signals all have been compared. If the number of the known ID codes is equal to the number of the sensors, the known ID codes are designated as specific tires according to an indication of the respective tire pressure signals, so that the positioning function can be achieved in a short period of time.
