Abstract
A tire monitor (100) for use in a remote tire monitor system (1000) includes an accelerometer (902, 904, 906) for detecting acceleration of the tire monitor. Position information for the tire monitor is determined in response to the acceleration. In this manner, tire position information is determined automatically to allow the system to display tire characteristic data such as air pressure in conjunction with tire position.
