TPMS Relearn Procedure
Follow the correct TPMS relearn steps to help your vehicle recognise new tyre pressure sensors. This guide covers both Auto Relearn and OBD Relearn procedures in a clean, easy-to-follow layout.
Before You Start
Make sure the correct TPMS sensors are installed, all tyre pressures are set to the placard value, and your programming tool is ready before starting the relearn process.
Why Relearn Matters
A relearn procedure helps the vehicle recognise the new tyre pressure sensors correctly. If this step is missed, the TPMS warning light may stay on or the new sensors may not register properly.

Auto Relearn Procedure
Some vehicles can automatically recognise new TPMS sensors after activation and driving.
- Confirm TPMS sensors are properly installed.
- Adjust tyre pressure to the vehicle placard value.
- Hold the TPMS tester on the left front tyre sidewall next to the valve stem.
- Use the TPMS tool to activate the sensor.
- Repeat the process for the right front, right rear, and left rear sensors.
- Drive the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph, or until the TPMS light turns off.
OBD Relearn Procedure (2009–2017)
Some vehicles require an OBD transfer to write the new sensor IDs directly into the ECU.
- Attach the OBDII module to the TPMS tool.
- Confirm TPMS sensors are properly installed.
- Adjust tyre pressure to the vehicle placard value.
- Hold the TPMS tester on the left front tyre sidewall next to the valve stem.
- Use the TPMS tool to activate the sensor.
- Repeat for the right front, right rear, and left rear sensors.
- Connect the OBD module to the vehicle DLC.
- Turn the ignition to ON.
- Press OK on the TPMS tool to transfer data to the ECU.
- Disconnect the OBD module from the DLC.
- Turn the ignition OFF, then start the engine.
- Drive the vehicle for at least 5 minutes at 28 mph.
