ABSTRACT:
It is an object of the present invention to detect a tire air pressure indirectly with high detection precision.
A tire air pressure detecting device includes a speed sensor for outputting a signal corresponding to a rotational speed of a tire, and an electronic control unit which inputs the signal from the speed sensor and performs predetermined arithmetic operations on that signal. The electronic control unit calculates a wheel speed based on the output signal of the speed sensor, performs a frequency analysis for the calculated vehicle speed, and derives a resonance frequency corresponding to the unsprung mass in the vertical and longitudinal directions. The tire air pressure is then detected based on this resonance frequency.
