Buick TPMS learning & sensor setup
The learning method depends on the model
Buick systems differ by model and build date. This page identifies obd learning, stationary learning. Select your model to see which applies.
Recommended AUTOMATE tools
Program, clone & activate sensors
For compatible AUTOMATE replacement sensors, we recommend the AUTOMATE Bluetooth Programmer / Cloning Tool. It programs blank sensors, copies supported original IDs and activates compatible sensors.
It does not write IDs into the car through OBD. A correctly pre-programmed sensor does not need blank-sensor programming again.

Register IDs in the car
We recommend the AUTOMATE Bluetooth OBD Reader & Writer for supported vehicle applications. It writes sensor IDs through the car’s OBD socket.
Choose this for the vehicle-registration step, alongside a sensor programmer if your replacement sensors are blank. Match the exact model, year and OBD write support before ordering.

MyTPMS sensor option
Buick Encore GX TPMS Sensor 13516165/13522631 433MHz
This product is for its listed application, not every Buick. Match the build date, OE part number and frequency on the product before ordering.
Which method does your Buick use?
Use the build date, not just the registration year. When rows overlap, match the sensor part number, frequency and market.
Choose your model to narrow the list. Each row states the learning method.
| Model | Build dates | Sensor / system | Learning method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enclave I | 2025/01 – 2025/12 | 433MHz · Europe / imports | Stationary or OBD learning |
| Encore | 2019/01 – 2025/12 | 433MHz 13540603 · GX · Europe / imports | Stationary or OBD learning |
| Envision | 2024/01 – 2025/12 | 433MHz 13538566 · Europe / imports | Stationary or OBD learning |
| Nexia R3 | 2017/11 – 2020/12 | 433MHz · T-CAR · Europe / imports | Stationary learning |
| Park Avenue | 1997/01 – 2005/12 | 433MHz · G-CAR · Europe / imports | Stationary learning |
What this means for you
OBD learning
A TPMS OBD tool writes the sensor IDs into the car through its diagnostic socket. Programming the sensors alone does not complete this step.
Stationary learning
The car stays parked in tyre-pressure learn mode while each sensor is activated in the required wheel order. A compatible activation tool is used.
Before and after learning
- Check cold tyre pressures against the vehicle’s tyre placard and repair any leak.
- Match the replacement sensor to the vehicle. Program a blank sensor or copy the original ID when your chosen setup requires it.
- Complete the learning method shown for your model. Check that the warning clears and that all monitored tyre readings appear, where the car displays them.
- If the warning remains, check pressure loss, sensor response and system faults. Repeating a reset does not repair a failed sensor.
