Understanding TPMS Relearn on PARTNER
PARTNER vehicles use direct TPMS systems where each wheel sensor transmits pressure, temperature, and a unique ID. When you swap sensors or rotate tires, the ECU needs to learn which sensor ID belongs to which wheel position. Skipping this step will trigger a persistent TPMS warning light.
The BH-Sens RDE047V21 sensor (SKU: RDE047V21) is a programmable 433MHz unit that covers OE numbers like 2N0907275A and 5Q0907275. After installation, you must choose one of the following relearn methods.
Three Relearn Methods for PARTNER
1. Automatic Relearn (Drive Cycle Method)
This method works on most PARTNER models built after 2010. No tools are required.
Procedure:
- Inflate all tires to the recommended pressure (check driver door jamb sticker).
- Drive the vehicle above 25 mph (40 km/h) continuously for 10–15 minutes.
- The ECU will automatically detect and register sensor IDs as the wheels rotate.
- The TPMS light should turn off after a successful cycle.
Note: This method may fail if you drive below 25 mph or stop frequently. It is the least reliable method for immediate results.
2. OBD Relearn (Using a Scan Tool)
The most reliable method for PARTNER vehicles. Requires an OBD2 TPMS tool (e.g., Autel TS508, Bartec, or ATEQ).
Procedure:
- Install the RDE047V21 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Audi, BMW, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini & 8 More | OE# 2N0907275A, 314818, 36106798872 sensors into the wheels.
- Connect the TPMS tool to the OBD2 port (under the dashboard).
- Select “PARTNER” and the correct model year from the tool menu.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to trigger the relearn sequence.
- The tool will communicate with the ECU and assign sensor positions.
- Drive a short distance (1–2 miles) to confirm the light turns off.
3. Stationary Relearn (Trigger Tool Method)
Use this if you don’t have an OBD tool but have a TPMS trigger tool (handheld activator).
Procedure:
- Park the vehicle and turn the ignition ON (engine off).
- Activate the LF (left front) sensor using the trigger tool held near the valve stem.
- Wait for the horn to honk (usually 2–3 seconds).
- Repeat for RF, RR, LR in that order.
- After the last sensor, the horn will honk twice to confirm completion.
- Turn ignition OFF, then start the engine — the TPMS light should be off.
| Method | Tools Needed | Time | Reliability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Automatic Relearn | None (just driving) | 15–20 min | Low (may not complete) |
| OBD Relearn | OBD TPMS tool | 5–10 min | High |
| Stationary Relearn | TPMS trigger tool | 5 min | Medium |
Important Notes for PARTNER Owners
- If your PARTNER has a steel spare wheel, check if it has a TPMS sensor — some models do, and it must be included in the relearn.
- The BH-Sens RDE047V21 sensor is compatible with 433MHz systems only. Verify your vehicle’s frequency before purchasing (check your old sensor or owner’s manual).
- After a tire rotation, you do not need to relearn if the sensors remain in their original positions. Only a rotation pattern that moves sensors to different corners requires a relearn.
Recommended Part
For a reliable 433MHz replacement on your PARTNER, use the BH-Sens RDE047V21 sensor (RDE047V21 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Audi, BMW, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini & 8 More | OE# 2N0907275A, 314818, 36106798872). It covers over 12 OE applications and is pre-programmed to match your vehicle’s protocol.
FAQ
Will the TPMS light turn off automatically after I install new sensors?
No. The TPMS light will remain on until you complete a relearn procedure. Even if the sensors are identical to the originals, the ECU must recognize the new sensor IDs.
Can I use the automatic relearn method on a 2015 PARTNER?
Yes, most PARTNER models from 2010 onward support automatic relearn. However, if the light does not turn off after 20 minutes of steady driving, switch to OBD or stationary relearn.
What happens if I use the wrong relearn method?
Using the wrong method simply means the light stays on. No damage will occur. If stationary relearn doesn’t work (horn doesn’t honk), your vehicle may require OBD relearn — check your owner’s manual for specific instructions.
Do I need to reset the TPMS after a tire rotation on PARTNER?
Only if the rotation pattern moves sensors to different wheel positions (e.g., cross-rotation). If you rotate front-to-back on the same side, no relearn is needed.
