CANYON vehicles, like many modern Chinese-market trucks and SUVs, use a direct TPMS system that requires a relearn procedure after sensor replacement, tire rotation, or battery change. The following guide covers the three main relearn methods for CANYON models using 433MHz sensors. Always confirm your vehicle’s year and system type before starting.
When Is a TPMS Relearn Needed?
- After installing new TPMS sensors (e.g., BL-ST-042 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Changan, Kaicene, Oshan | OE# 3601010BK01, 3601010MK01, 3601010MK51)
- After rotating tires (sensors move to different wheel positions)
- After replacing the TPMS module or control unit
- If the TPMS warning light stays on after tire pressure adjustment
TPMS Relearn Methods for CANYON
1. Auto Relearn (Drive to Sync)
Some CANYON models support automatic relearn. No tools required.
Procedure:
- Ensure all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure (check door sticker).
- Drive the vehicle above 25 mph (40 km/h) for 10–20 minutes continuously.
- The system will automatically detect and assign sensor IDs to wheel positions.
- The TPMS light should turn off after a successful relearn.
Note: Auto relearn may not work if sensors were replaced with non-OE or pre-programmed units. In that case, use OBD or stationary relearn.
2. OBD Relearn (Using a TPMS Tool)
This is the fastest and most reliable method for CANYON. Requires a compatible TPMS programming tool (e.g., Autel, Bartec, or ATEQ).
Procedure:
- Connect the TPMS tool to the OBD-II port (usually under the dashboard).
- Select vehicle brand: CANYON, model, and year.
- Choose “Relearn” or “Sensor ID Programming.”
- Follow the tool’s prompts to trigger each sensor (left front, right front, right rear, left rear).
- The tool will send the new sensor IDs to the vehicle’s ECU.
- Disconnect the tool and start the engine. The TPMS light should go out within 2 minutes.
Tools needed:
- TPMS diagnostic tool (supports CANYON/Chinese vehicles)
- Vehicle ignition on (engine off or running, depending on tool)
3. Stationary Relearn (Magnet Method)
Older CANYON models or those without OBD support may use a magnet for stationary relearn.
Procedure:
- Turn ignition to ON (engine off).
- Press and hold the TPMS reset button (usually under the steering wheel or in the glove box) until the horn beeps twice.
- Starting with the left front tire, hold a strong magnet against the valve stem sensor for 5–10 seconds until the horn beeps once.
- Repeat for right front, right rear, and left rear.
- After the last tire, the horn will beep twice to confirm completion.
- Turn ignition off and restart the vehicle.
Note: Not all CANYON models support this method. Check your owner’s manual.
TPMS Sensor Fitment Table for CANYON
| Sensor SKU | Frequency | OE Number Example | Compatible Models |
|---|---|---|---|
| BL-ST-042 | 433MHz | 3601010BK01, 3601010MK01, 3601010MK51 | Changan, Kaicene, Oshan (also fits CANYON with same OE) |
| (Use OE cross-reference to confirm fitment) |
Recommended Part
For CANYON vehicles requiring 433MHz pre-programmed sensors, use BL-ST-042 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Changan, Kaicene, Oshan | OE# 3601010BK01, 3601010MK01, 3601010MK51. This BH-Sens (Baolong Technology) sensor is clamp-in type and pre-programmed to OE specifications, reducing the need for additional programming. Always verify compatibility with your specific CANYON model year.
FAQ
What if the TPMS light stays on after relearn?
Check that all sensors are transmitting properly. Use a TPMS tool to read sensor IDs and signal strength. If one sensor is dead or incompatible, replace it. Also verify tire pressure is within 2 psi of the door sticker value.
Can I use a universal TPMS sensor on CANYON?
Only if it is pre-programmed to match the OE frequency (433MHz) and ID format. BH-Sens BL-ST-042 is pre-programmed for Chinese-market vehicles and works reliably. Universal sensors may require cloning or additional programming.
How often do TPMS sensors need to be replaced?
Most TPMS sensors last 5–7 years or 60,000–80,000 miles. Replace them when the battery dies or after a tire change if the sensor is older than 5 years.
Do I need a special tool for OBD relearn on CANYON?
Yes, a TPMS diagnostic tool that supports CANYON and Chinese vehicle protocols is required. Autel TS508 or similar mid-range tools work well. Some scan tools with TPMS capability also work, but confirm compatibility first.
