  • Programming method for tire pressure monitor sensors
    Patent number: 9160365
    Abstract: A method of programming a tire pressure monitor sensor utilizes a programming tool that transmits LF data frames to the TPMS sensor that includes a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) code with each data frame. The starting point for the subsequent data frame will then start with the CRC code received from the previous frame and will end with a new CRC code. Accordingly, the CRC code received from the previous frame will be used to ensure that the next data frame matches that CRC code as the starting point for that frame. This will ensure that the data frames cannot get out of sequence and will allow the ability to quickly identify where the data frames have gone out of sync and allow the programming tool to quickly react.
