A process for checking the air pressure in the tiresof motor vehicle wheels wherein at least a pressure signal characteristic for the air pressure will be picked up as a measured signal by a measurement device located in or on the tire of each motor vehicle wheel, wherein at least. a data signal containing a measured air pressure value derived from the pressure signal as well as an identification value characteristic for the respective transmitter device will be generated and output by a transmitter device located in or on the tire of each motor vehicle wheel, wherein the data signal output by the transmitter devices will be received by a reception device located at a distance to the motor vehicle wheels, and wherein the identification value of the transmitter device contained in the data signal will be compared by a control unit to identification comparison values assigned to the respective transmitter devices such that further processing of the data signal by the control unit will be effected only, if the identification value and the identification comparison value meet a specified assignment criterion.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] Process for checking the air pressure in the tires (12, 14, 16, 18) of motor vehicle wheels (11, 13, 15, 17) wherein by means ofa measurement device (32), located in or on each tire (12, 14, 16, 18) of each motor vehicle wheel (11, 13, 15, 17), at least a pressure signal

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] Process for checking the air pressure in the tires (12, 14, 16, 18) of motor vehicle wheels (11, 13, 15, 17) wherein by means ofa measurement device (32), located in or on each tire (12, 14, 16, 18) of each motor vehicle wheel (11, 13, 15, 17), at least a pressure signal characteristic for the air pressure will be picked up as a measured signal,transmitter device (31), located in or on each tire (12, 14, 16, 18) of each motor vehicle wheel (11, 13, 15, 17), at least a data signal (DS) containing a measured air pressure value derived from the pressure signal as well as an identification value characteristic for the respective transmitter device (31) will be generated and output,a reception device (22) located at a distance to the motor vehicle wheels (11, 13, 15, 17), the data signal (DS) output by the transmitter devices (31) will be received,a control unit (21), the identification value of the transmitter device (31) contained in the data signal (DS) will be compared to identification comparison values assigned to the respective transmitter devices (31) such that further processing of the data signal (DS) by the control unit (21) will be effected only, if the identification value and the identification comparison value meet a specified assignment criterion,the assignment criterion, an assignment of the respective position (front left, front right, rear left, rear right) of the motor vehicle wheel (11, 13, 15, 17) will be effected where the delete identification comparison value will be adapted to the identification value of the respective transmitter device (31), wherein the assignment of the respective position (front left, front right, rear left, rear right) of the motor vehicle wheel (11, 13, 15, 17) to the data signals (DS) is effected by means of a bi-directional data transmission process, in whichan activation signal (AS) generated by the control unit (21) will be fed as a long-wave signal (LWS) selectively to one respective motor vehicle wheel each (11 or 13 or 15 or 17),the long-wave signal (LWS) is respectively received by a long-wave unit (4) located in or on each motor vehicle wheel (11, 13, 15, 17) and respectively assigned to a transmitter device (31),the long-wave unit (4) provides the long-wave signal (LWS) to the respective assigned transmitter device (31) which generates therefrom a long-wave identification signal (LWIS),a data signal (DS) containing the long-wave identification signal (LWIS) and the identification value of the respective transmitter device (31) will be output as high frequency signal from the transmitter device (31 ) to the control unit (21), andthe control unit (21) identifies the position (front left, front right, rear left, rear right) of the motor vehicle wheel (11, 13, 15, 17) by means of the long-wave identification signal (LWIS).
