The invention relates to a method for locating the wheels (R1, R2, R3, R4) of a motor vehicle (1), each one including a wheel unit (WU1, WU2, WU3, WU4) having its own identifier and the vehicle including at least three antennas. The determination of the location of the wheel unit by the central processing unit (2) of the vehicle includes:

    applying, for each identifier and to the number of signals received by the central processing unit, a transfer function specific to each antenna;calculating a number by multiplying the transfer function by one another such that they represent the specific front right, front left, rear right and rear left positions on the vehicle (1); andlocating the wheel units by determining, for each specific position represented by the transfer functions, the identifier corresponding to the highest number P.
