Abstract

A method for matching an emitting valve identifier with that of a wheel in the memory element of an on-board vehicle computer, including steps of specific excitation of the valve and reception of a specific frame sent in response; decoding and analysis of the frame and recognition of the valve identifier; presentation of the identifier to an operator; matching of wheel and valve identifiers and inputting of the identifiers into the memory element. In the method the presentation is performed using a diagnostic tool, the diagnostic tool receiving at least the valve identifier and status data by the on-board receiver.
