TIVOLAN TPMS Relearn Procedure: Auto, OBD, and Stationary Methods for 433MHz Sensors

Understanding TIVOLAN TPMS Relearn Basics

TIVOLAN vehicles—the Chinese brand now producing SUVs and crossovers—use a direct TPMS system. Each wheel has a sensor that transmits pressure and temperature data to the vehicle’s ECU. When you replace a sensor or rotate tires, the ECU needs to “learn” which sensor is in which position. This is called a TPMS relearn or reprogramming procedure.

The BH-Sens BL-ST-057 sensor is a common 433MHz replacement for TIVOLAN models. It’s pre-programmed, meaning it already carries the correct protocol for the brand. You don’t need to clone the original sensor ID—just install it and run a relearn.

Three Relearn Methods for TIVOLAN

TIVOLAN vehicles support three relearn methods. Choose the one that fits your tools and time.

1. Auto Relearn (Drive-Based)

This is the easiest method. No tools required, just patience.

Step-by-step:

• Install the new sensors (or rotate tires).
• Ensure all tires are inflated to the correct pressure (check the door sticker).
• Start the engine and drive the vehicle above 25 mph (40 km/h) for at least 10-20 minutes.
• The TPMS warning light should turn off after the relearn completes.

What’s happening: The ECU automatically detects sensor signals as the vehicle moves. It matches each sensor ID to the wheel position based on signal strength and rotation. This works for most TIVOLAN models but can take a full 30 minutes if the initial signal is weak.

Drawback: You must drive in a straight line with minimal turns. Sharp turns or stopping can reset the counting process.

2. OBD Relearn (Tool Required)

This is the fastest method if you have a compatible TPMS tool. It writes the sensor IDs directly to the ECU via the OBD-II port.

Tools needed:

• A TPMS scan tool that supports TIVOLAN (Autel TS508, ATEQ VT56, or similar)
• The BH-Sens BL-ST-057 sensor (pre-programmed, so no additional programming needed)

Step-by-step:

• Connect the TPMS tool to the vehicle’s OBD-II port (usually under the dashboard).
• Turn the ignition to ON (engine off).
• Select “TIVOLAN” in the tool’s menu, then choose “TPMS Relearn.”
• The tool will prompt you to trigger each sensor. Use the tool’s LF (low-frequency) activation function or a magnet to wake each sensor.
• Follow the on-screen instructions for each wheel (typically LF, RF, RR, LR order).
• Once all four sensors are read, select “Write IDs” or “Relearn Complete.”
• The tool will send the IDs to the ECU. The TPMS light should go out immediately.

Why use this method: It’s reliable, takes 5 minutes, and you can verify sensor data (pressure, temperature, battery life) during the process.

3. Stationary Relearn (Menu-Based)

Some TIVOLAN models have a stationary relearn function built into the infotainment system. This is a middle ground—no driving required, but you need to trigger each sensor at the wheel.

Step-by-step:

• Park the vehicle on level ground. Turn the ignition ON.
• Navigate to the TPMS menu on the center display (usually under “Vehicle Settings” or “Tire Pressure”).
• Select “Relearn” or “Learn” (wording varies by model year).
• The system will prompt you to activate each sensor, typically starting with the left front.
• Use a TPMS activation tool (or a strong magnet) to trigger the sensor at the valve stem. Hold it for 2-3 seconds until the horn beeps or the display confirms the sensor.
• Move to the next wheel (right front, right rear, left rear) and repeat.
• Once all four are learned, the system will exit relearn mode. The TPMS light should turn off.

Note: This method only works on TIVOLAN models with a dedicated TPMS menu. Some 2020+ models have this feature; older models may not. Check your owner’s manual.

Fitment Table: BH-Sens BL-ST-057 vs. TIVOLAN Models

The BL-ST-057 sensor is designed for a range of Chinese-brand vehicles. Here’s its fitment for TIVOLAN and related brands:

Always verify the OE number on your old sensor before ordering.

Common Mistakes During TIVOLAN TPMS Relearn

• Using a wrong sensor frequency: TIVOLAN uses 433MHz. A 315MHz sensor will not work. Check the old sensor’s label.
• Skipping the relearn: A new sensor will not communicate until the ECU learns its ID. The TPMS light will stay on.
• Mixing relearn methods: If you start a drive-based relearn, don’t interrupt it with an OBD tool mid-process. Stick to one method.
• Forgetting to check battery status: Old sensors (over 5 years) may have weak batteries. The relearn will fail if a sensor is dead.

Tools We Recommend for TIVOLAN TPMS

If you’re a shop or a DIY owner, these tools make the job straightforward:

• Autel TS508 (or TS608): Supports OBD relearn for TIVOLAN. Displays live sensor data.
• ATEQ VT56: Professional-level tool, compatible with Chinese brands.
• BH-Sens activation tool (model BHT-100): Simple LF activator for stationary relearn.

For the sensor itself, the BL-ST-057 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Avatr, Changan, Deepal, Mazda, Nevo & 1 More | OE# 3601010CD01, 3601010DG01, 3601010MK02 is a direct replacement. It comes pre-programmed, so you just install it and run a relearn. No cloning or programming required.

When to Replace vs. Relearn

Relearn is needed when:

• You replace one or more sensors.
• You rotate tires (positions change).
• The TPMS light flashes and then stays on (indicating a lost sensor).

Replace the sensor when:

• The battery is dead (sensor shows no signal or low battery in the tool).
• The valve stem is corroded or leaking.
• The sensor is physically damaged.

The BH-Sens sensors have a typical battery life of 5-7 years. If your TIVOLAN is older than 2018, consider replacing all four sensors at once to avoid repeat labor.

FAQ

How long does a TIVOLAN TPMS auto relearn take?

Typically 10-20 minutes of driving above 25 mph. If the vehicle has been sitting for a while, it may take up to 30 minutes. The TPMS light will blink during the process and turn solid, then off when complete.

Can I use an Autel TS508 for TIVOLAN OBD relearn?

Yes. The Autel TS508 supports TIVOLAN models. Connect it to the OBD port, select “TIVOLAN,” then follow the on-screen steps to read the new sensors and write the IDs. The tool must be updated with the latest software to recognize newer TIVOLAN models.

What if the stationary relearn doesn’t work on my TIVOLAN?

Not all TIVOLAN models have a menu-based stationary relearn. If you don’t see a “Relearn” option in the vehicle settings, use the drive-based auto relearn or an OBD tool. Some 2020-2022 models require the OBD method.

Do I need to remove the tire to replace a TPMS sensor?

Yes, the sensor is mounted inside the wheel on the valve stem. The tire must be broken down from the rim to access it. A tire shop can do this in 15-20 minutes per wheel. If you’re doing it yourself, use a tire changer or take the wheels to a shop.
