The invention relates to a method for monitoring and detecting the detachment of a tire module from the inner face of the tire, having the following steps: measuring the centrifugal acceleration on a tire module by an acceleration sensor arranged in the tire module; forwarding the measured acceleration values to an evaluation unit; analyzing the acceleration values upon acceleration of the vehicle in the starting phase or upon constant low speeds of the vehicle; activating a warning signal in the evaluation unit, insofar as the analysis of the acceleration values results in a statistically significant standard deviation in comparison to a not detached tire module from the inner face of another tire, thus detecting a freely tumbling tire module in the hollow space of the tire; outputting a warning signal indicating which tire module has detached from the inner face of the tire to the vehicle owner.
