Method of locating the position of wheels (2-5) of a vehicle (1) equipped with an electronic module (6-9) and with transmitting antennas (12-14) positioned in such a way as to present a coverage area in which at least one wheel (2-5) is located. Furthermore, n successive transmissions are ordered, by each transmitting antenna, of an identification request signal, and the number of identification request signals received by each electronic module (6-9) is counted. Furthermore, a ratio representative of the number of counted identification request signals received by each electronic module (6-9) is calculated, relative to the number of identification request signals actually transmitted by the transmitting antenna (12-14), and an indication of presence of the electronic module in the coverage area of the transmitting antenna is provided when the calculated ratio is greater than a predetermined threshold value.
