A method of judging a vehicle loading condition includes detecting
rotational speeds of wheels mounted on a vehicle, calculating a judging
value of tire pressures based on the difference of the sum of rotational
speeds of two pairs of wheels located at the opposing corners of the
vehicle and detecting an acceleration to a lateral direction of the
vehicle. The loading state of the vehicle is judged by the change of a
primary coefficient based on an approximated relation between the
acceleration to a lateral direction and the judging value of the tire
pressures. A tire deflation warning system detects the stop of the
vehicle, and the air pressure of four wheels is judged not to be
decreased if the loading condition of a vehicle is changed more than a
fixed value before and after a vehicle stop. The tire deflation warning
system can prevent a deflation alarm for a vehicle with a heavy load.
