Understanding Lynk & Co TPMS Systems
Lynk&Co vehicles, including the 01, 02, 03, 05, and 09 models, use direct TPMS sensors mounted inside each tire. These sensors broadcast pressure and temperature data to the vehicle’s ECU. When you install a new sensor—or rotate tires—the ECU must learn the new sensor IDs. Without a proper relearn, the TPMS warning light will stay on.
Lynk & Co shares its TPMS architecture with other Geely-group brands (Zeekr, Geelygalaxy), so the relearn procedures are nearly identical across these platforms.
Tools You Will Need
Before starting, gather the following:
- TPMS scan tool (e.g., Autel TS508, MaxiTPMS, or equivalent) for OBD relearn
- Magnetic trigger tool for stationary relearn (if your Lynk & Co model supports it)
- Pre-programmed TPMS sensors (e.g., BL-ST-050 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Geelygalaxy, Lynk&Co, Zeekr | OE# 6608082005, 8894215959) – these arrive ready to install, no cloning required
- Tire pressure gauge to verify all tires are at the correct pressure
- Vehicle owner’s manual (or digital service manual) for model-specific torque specs
Note: Lynk & Co sensors operate at 433MHz. The BH-Sens BL-ST-050 is pre-programmed to OE frequencies and IDs, so no additional programming is needed before the relearn.
Three TPMS Relearn Methods for Lynk & Co
1. Auto Relearn (Drive-Based)
This is the simplest method and works on most Lynk & Co models from 2018 onward.
Procedure:
- Inflate all tires to the pressure listed on the driver’s door placard.
- Start the engine and drive the vehicle above 25 mph (40 km/h).
- Maintain that speed for 10–20 minutes. The ECU will automatically detect the new sensor IDs as the wheels rotate.
- The TPMS warning light should turn off after one or two driving cycles.
Best for: After a tire rotation where no sensors were replaced. If you installed new sensors, this method often fails—use OBD instead.
2. OBD Relearn (Scan Tool Required)
This is the most reliable method, especially with aftermarket pre-programmed sensors.
Procedure:
- Connect your TPMS scan tool to the vehicle’s OBD-II port (located under the dashboard, driver’s side).
- Select “Lynk & Co” and your specific model/year.
- Choose “TPMS Relearn” or “Sensor Learn” from the menu.
- The tool will trigger each sensor in sequence (usually LF, RF, RR, LR). Hold the tool near each tire’s valve stem when prompted.
- Once all four sensors are triggered, follow the on-screen prompt to confirm.
- Disconnect the tool and start the engine. The TPMS light should turn off within a few minutes.
Pros: Works every time, even with new sensors. You can also read sensor battery health and pressure data.
Cons: Requires a compatible TPMS tool (costs $100–$300 for a basic model).
3. Stationary Relearn (Magnetic Trigger)
Some Lynk & Co models (particularly early 01 and 02 models) support a stationary relearn using a magnetic tool.
Procedure:
- Set all tires to the correct pressure.
- Turn the ignition to ON (engine off).
- Use a TPMS magnetic tool to trigger the sensor at the left front tire. Hold the tool against the valve stem for 2–3 seconds until the horn chirps.
- Repeat for right front, right rear, and left rear tires, in that order.
- The horn will chirp twice after the last sensor is learned.
- Turn the ignition OFF, then start the engine. The warning light should be off.
Important: This method only works if the vehicle is equipped with a magnetic trigger antenna. Check your manual—if you don’t hear a horn chirp, your model likely requires OBD relearn.
Fitment Table: BL-ST-050 Compatible Lynk & Co Models
| Model | Year Range | Frequency | Relearn Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lynk & Co 01 | 2018–2024 | 433 MHz | Auto / OBD |
| Lynk & Co 02 | 2019–2024 | 433 MHz | OBD / Stationary |
| Lynk & Co 03 | 2019–2024 | 433 MHz | OBD |
| Lynk & Co 05 | 2020–2024 | 433 MHz | Auto / OBD |
| Lynk & Co 09 | 2021–2024 | 433 MHz | OBD |
Note: Stationary relearn availability may vary by production month. Always confirm with your VIN.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
- Light stays on after auto relearn – Drive an additional 15–20 minutes. If it persists, use OBD relearn.
- Scan tool can’t find Lynk & Co – Some older tools lack Geely-group profiles. Update your tool’s software or use a tool that supports Chinese brands.
- Sensor triggers but horn doesn’t chirp – The vehicle may not support stationary relearn. Switch to OBD method.
Recommended Part
For a hassle-free replacement, use the BL-ST-050 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Geelygalaxy, Lynk&Co, Zeekr | OE# 6608082005, 8894215959. This BH-Sens sensor (Baolong Technology) is pre-programmed to 433MHz, clamp-in design, and fits 13 Lynk & Co, Geelygalaxy, and Zeekr models. It matches OE numbers 6608082005 and 8894215959. No additional programming is needed—just install, then run the OBD relearn.
FAQ
How long does a Lynk & Co TPMS relearn take?
Auto relearn can take 10–20 minutes of driving. OBD relearn takes about 5 minutes with a scan tool. Stationary relearn takes 2–3 minutes once the tool is ready.
Can I use any 433MHz sensor on my Lynk & Co?
No. Lynk & Co requires sensors that communicate with its specific TPMS protocol. The BL-ST-050 is designed for Geely-group vehicles and is fully compatible. Generic aftermarket sensors may fail to register.
Do I need to reprogram the sensor itself before the relearn?
If you use pre-programmed sensors like the BH-Sens BL-ST-050, no. They arrive set to the correct frequency and protocol. You only need to perform the vehicle-side relearn.
My TPMS light blinks then stays on—what does that mean?
A blinking light during startup usually indicates a sensor fault (dead battery, damaged sensor, or incorrect ID). After driving, if the light stays steady, it means the ECU cannot detect one or more sensors. Perform an OBD relearn first; if the light returns, inspect the sensors for damage or expired batteries.
