Understanding the TPMS Relearn Process for 自由者
The 自由者 (Ziyouzhe) lineup—including models like the Ziyouzhe 1, Ziyouzhe 2, and Ziyouzhe EV—uses a direct TPMS system that monitors tire pressure via sensors inside each wheel. When you replace a sensor or rotate tires, the system needs a relearn to recognize the new sensor IDs and match them to the correct wheel positions. Here are the three relearn methods that work on 自由者 vehicles.
Method 1: Auto Relearn (Drive-Based)
This is the simplest method and works on most 自由者 models from 2018 onward.
- Ensure all tires are inflated to the pressures listed on the driver’s door placard.
- Start the engine and drive the vehicle above 25 mph (40 km/h) for 10–20 minutes continuously.
- The TPMS light should turn off once the sensors transmit their IDs and the system relearns automatically.
- If the light remains on after 30 minutes of driving, proceed to one of the other methods.
When it works: Best for OEM sensors or pre-programmed replacements like the BL-ST-075 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Chery, Cowin, Jetour, Karry, Soueast | OE# F023114011, F113114011, F113114011BA which are already matched to your vehicle’s protocol.
Method 2: OBD Relearn (Using a TPMS Tool)
For a faster, more reliable relearn, use a TPMS diagnostic tool that supports 自由者 vehicles. This method is recommended after sensor replacement.
| Tool Type | Example Brands | Compatible with 自由者? |
|---|---|---|
| Universal TPMS tool | Autel, Bartec, ATEQ | Yes, with correct software |
| Dedicated OBD relearn tool | Launch, XTool | Yes, for 2019+ models |
| Smartphone-based adapter | VXDAS, OBDLink | Limited, check app support |
Steps:
- Connect the TPMS tool to the vehicle’s OBD-II port (under the dashboard, driver’s side).
- Select “自由者” and the correct model year in the tool menu.
- Follow the tool’s prompts to trigger each sensor (tool will activate the sensor via low-frequency signal).
- Once all IDs are captured, confirm the relearn. The tool will send the new sensor IDs to the ECU.
- Verify the TPMS light turns off after a short drive.
Method 3: Stationary Relearn (Via Infotainment Menu)
Some newer 自由者 models (2021+) allow a manual relearn through the center touchscreen.
- Park the vehicle, turn ignition to ON (engine off).
- Go to Settings > Vehicle > TPMS > Sensor Relearn.
- The screen will display “Relearn in progress” and may ask you to select left front, right front, etc.
- Use a TPMS magnet or tool to trigger each sensor (hold the tool near the valve stem for 2–5 seconds).
- Wait for the screen to confirm “Relearn complete.” Turn ignition off and restart the engine.
Recommended Part for 自由者 TPMS Replacement
For a hassle-free replacement, use the BL-ST-075 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Chery, Cowin, Jetour, Karry, Soueast | OE# F023114011, F113114011, F113114011BA. This BH-Sens (Baolong Technology) 433MHz sensor is pre-programmed for Chery, Cowin, Jetour, Karry, and Soueast platforms—which share the same TPMS protocol as 自由者. It’s a clamp-in design (OE# F023114011, F113114011, F113114011BA) and works with all three relearn methods above. No cloning or manual ID entry required if the sensor is already matched.
FAQ
How do I know if my 自由者 needs a TPMS relearn?
If the TPMS warning light stays on solid after inflating tires to correct pressure, or if it flashes for 60–90 seconds then stays on, a relearn is needed. This also applies after replacing any TPMS sensor or rotating tires.
Can I use a generic 433MHz sensor on my 自由者?
Only if it is pre-programmed for the 自由者 protocol (like the BL-ST-075). Generic sensors without proper programming will not communicate with the ECU, and the TPMS light will remain on. Always verify the OE number compatibility (e.g., F023114011).
Why did my auto relearn fail after 30 minutes of driving?
Auto relearn can fail if the vehicle is driven at inconsistent speeds (e.g., city traffic with frequent stops), if a sensor battery is dead, or if a replacement sensor uses a different frequency. Use OBD relearn or stationary relearn instead for faster diagnosis.
How often should TPMS sensors be replaced on a 自由者?
TPMS sensor batteries typically last 5–7 years. If your 自由者 is 6+ years old and the TPMS light comes on frequently even after relearn, consider replacing all four sensors with a compatible set like the BL-ST-075 to avoid future issues.
