Method for controlling an activation of a function by a control module of a wheel unit

A method for controlling a trigger of an activation of a function by a control module housed in a wheel unit and communicating, via a communication module, which includes a first clock employing a crystal oscillator and which communicates via UHF radio waves, with outside the wheel unit, requests to activate a function to be performed at a predetermined time being transmitted to the control module. When an activation is required, a first count of time to activation is started in the communication module by the first clock, a request to activate being transmitted from the communication module to the control module which, upon receipt, is reconfigured in order to activate the function at the predetermined time, an end of the count in the communication module being transmitted to the control module, in order for the trigger to occur at the predetermined time.
