Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer program products for wheel theft detection and notification using a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, wheel theft detection and notification using a TPMS includes monitoring, by an electronic control unit (ECU) of a vehicle, one or more parameters associated with a tire monitoring sensor (TMS) coupled to a wheel assembly of the vehicle. In this embodiment, the ECU determines, based on the monitored one or more parameters, that the wheel assembly is in a compromised state associated with the wheel assembly being dislocated from the vehicle or in danger of being dislocated from the vehicle. In response to determining that the wheel assembly is in the compromised state, the ECU triggers an alarm of a vehicle security system.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer program products for configuring a tire monitoring system are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, configuring a tire monitoring system includes determining a model identifier for a tire; identifying, in a database, one or more stiffness coefficients corresponding to the model identifier of the tire; and transmitting the one or more stiffness coefficients to a component of the tire monitoring system.
