A Tyre pressure monitoring (TPM) sensor is configured with a TPM identifier and makes transmissions according to a current transmission protocol or protocols. A low frequency (LF) signal is received and the LF signal was transmitted according to a predetermined transmission protocol or language. An identity of the predetermined transmission protocol or language associated with the LF signal is determined. Based upon the identity of the predetermined transmission protocol or language, at least one of the TPM identifier or the current transmission protocol or protocols of the TPM are adjusted. The TPM sensor subsequently makes transmissions according to the predetermined transmission protocol associated with the LF signal. The LF signal may be received from a portable programming tool, or from a fixed LF initiator in a vehicle. The transmission protocol may be subsequently locked to the TPM sensor. The transmission protocol may indicate a vehicle manufacturer or the type of vehicle.
