BAIC TPMS Reset and Relearn: A Comprehensive Guide

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about BAIC TPMS reset and relearn procedures. We’ll discuss the different types of relearn methods, which BAIC models they apply to, and provide step-by-step instructions on how to perform a reset using an OBD scanner.<>

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is a crucial safety feature in modern BAIC vehicles. It continuously monitors the air pressure in your tires and alerts you when it falls below the recommended level. This early warning can help prevent accidents, improve fuel efficiency, and extend the life of your tires.<>

However, there are times when you need to reset or relearn the TPMS on your BAIC vehicle. This may be necessary after rotating or replacing the tires, changing the tire pressure, or if the TPMS warning light stays on even when the tire pressure is correct.<>

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about BAIC TPMS reset and relearn procedures. We’ll discuss the different types of relearn methods, which BAIC models they apply to, and provide step-by-step instructions on how to perform a reset using an OBD scanner.<>

Understanding TPMS Reset and Relearn

Before we dive into the specifics of BAIC TPMS reset and relearn, let’s clarify what these terms mean:<>

  • TPMS Reset: This refers to clearing any stored TPMS fault codes and turning off the TPMS warning light on your dashboard. A reset is typically performed after addressing an issue with the tire pressure or TPMS sensors.
  • TPMS Relearn: This is the process of teaching your vehicle’s TPMS to recognize the unique ID numbers of the sensors in each wheel. The relearn procedure must be performed whenever you rotate the tires, replace a sensor, or install new tires.

It’s important to note that resetting the TPMS does not necessarily mean the system has relearned the sensor positions. In some cases, you may need to perform both a reset and a relearn to ensure the TPMS is functioning correctly.<>

Types of TPMS Relearn Methods

There are three main types of TPMS relearn methods used by vehicle manufacturers, including BAIC:<>

  1. Auto Relearn: This method requires driving the vehicle for a specific period or distance to allow the TPMS to automatically relearn the sensor positions. Some vehicles may require additional steps, such as adjusting the tire pressure or pressing specific buttons, before driving.
  2. Stationary Relearn: Also known as manual relearn, this method involves putting the vehicle into a “learn mode” and then using a TPMS tool to activate each sensor in a specific order. The vehicle’s onboard computer then learns the position of each sensor.
  3. OBD Relearn: This method uses an OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) scanner to directly program the sensor IDs into the vehicle’s computer. This is often the quickest and easiest method, especially for vehicles that don’t support auto or stationary relearn.

BAIC Models and Relearn Methods

Now that we’ve covered the different types of relearn methods, let’s look at which methods apply to specific BAIC models.<>

BAIC X7

The BAIC X7 supports both stationary and OBD relearn methods.<>

To perform a stationary relearn on the X7:<>

  1. Set the tire pressure to the recommended level on all four tires.
  2. Turn the ignition to the “ON” position without starting the engine.
  3. Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS warning light blinks three times.
  4. Starting with the left front tire, use a TPMS tool to activate each sensor in a clockwise order.
  5. Turn the ignition off and then back on to complete the relearn process.

To perform an OBD relearn on the X7, you’ll need an OBD scanner with TPMS functionality, such as the Autel MaxiTPMS TS508:<>

  1. Connect the OBD scanner to the vehicle’s OBD-II port, usually located under the dashboard on the driver’s side.
  2. Turn the ignition to the “ON” position without starting the engine.
  3. Follow the prompts on the OBD scanner to access the TPMS relearn function.
  4. Activate each sensor in the order specified by the scanner, typically starting with the left front tire and moving clockwise.
  5. Once all sensors have been activated, the scanner will program the sensor IDs into the vehicle’s computer, completing the relearn process.

BAIC BJ40

The BAIC BJ40 also supports both stationary and OBD relearn methods. The stationary relearn process is similar to that of the X7:<>

  1. Ensure all tires are inflated to the proper pressure.
  2. Turn the ignition to the “ON” position without starting the engine.
  3. Press and hold the TPMS reset button until the TPMS warning light blinks.
  4. Use a TPMS tool to activate each sensor, starting with the left front and moving clockwise.
  5. Turn the ignition off and then back on to finalize the relearn.

For an OBD relearn on the BJ40, follow the same steps as outlined for the X7, using a compatible OBD scanner with TPMS relearn functionality.<>

BAIC EU5

The BAIC EU5 electric vehicle supports the auto relearn method. To perform an auto relearn on the EU5:<>

  1. Adjust the tire pressure on all four tires to the recommended level.
  2. Drive the vehicle at a speed above 25 mph (40 km/h) for at least 10 minutes to allow the TPMS to relearn the sensor positions automatically.

If the TPMS warning light remains on after driving, you may need to use an OBD scanner to diagnose any issues with the sensors or perform a manual reset.<>

Using an OBD Scanner for TPMS Reset and Relearn

An OBD scanner is a powerful tool that can help you diagnose, reset, and relearn the TPMS on your BAIC vehicle. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use an OBD scanner for TPMS functions:<>

  1. Connect the scanner: Plug the OBD scanner into your vehicle’s OBD-II port, which is usually located under the dashboard on the driver’s side.
  2. Turn on the ignition: Turn the key to the “ON” position without starting the engine.
  3. Navigate to the TPMS function: Use the scanner’s buttons or touchscreen to find the TPMS menu. This may be located under “Vehicle Information,” “Tire Pressure Monitor,” or a similar heading.
  4. Perform a TPMS reset: If your scanner has a “Reset” or “Clear Codes” option in the TPMS menu, select it to clear any stored fault codes and turn off the TPMS warning light.
  5. Initiate the relearn process: Look for a “Relearn” or “Program Sensors” option in the TPMS menu. Select this to begin the relearn procedure.
  6. Activate the sensors: Follow the scanner’s prompts to activate each TPMS sensor in the specified order, typically starting with the left front tire and moving clockwise. Use a TPMS activation tool or the scanner’s built-in activation function, if available, to trigger each sensor.

Tips for Maintaining Your BAIC’s TPMS

To keep your BAIC’s TPMS functioning properly and avoid unnecessary warnings or faults, follow these maintenance tips:<>

  1. Check tire pressure regularly: Use a reliable tire pressure gauge to check the pressure in all four tires at least once a month and before long trips. Adjust the pressure as needed to match the recommended levels found in your vehicle’s owner’s manual or on the tire information label.
  2. Rotate tires as recommended: Regularly rotating your tires helps ensure even wearand extends their lifespan. However, remember to perform a TPMS relearn after each rotation to ensure the system is monitoring the correct tire positions.
  3. Replace TPMS sensors as needed: TPMS sensors have a limited battery life, typically around 5-10 years. When a sensor’s battery dies, it will need to be replaced. Some signs of a failing sensor include a TPMS warning light that stays on, inaccurate pressure readings, or a sensor that won’t respond during a relearn procedure.
  4. Be cautious when changing tires: If you’re changing a tire yourself, be careful not to damage the TPMS sensor. If a sensor is damaged during the tire change process, it will need to be replaced and relearned.
  5. Address TPMS warnings promptly: If your BAIC’s TPMS warning light comes on while driving, safely pull over and check the tire pressure as soon as possible. If the pressure is low, add air to the tire and perform a TPMS reset. If the warning persists or you notice damage to a tire, have it inspected by a professional.
