Abstract
A tire pressure sensor includes a pressure sensor element, a Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) interface and a microcontroller that is coupled to the pressure sensor element and the BLE interface. The microcontroller can be switched between an energy saving mode and an active operating mode. A battery is provided for voltage supply. The BLE interface is designed to establish a BLE communication with a reader designed for BLE communication and to initiate switch-over of the microcontroller from its energy saving mode to its active operating mode in response to the BLE communication being established.
