  • Page 83 Figure 6-33 OBD Relearn Screen 2 6.7.2 Automatic Relearn Automatic Relearn requires driving to complete. For some vehicle models, the Automatic Relearn procedures can be completed directly by driving, while for some vehicle models, you need to follow the on-screen Learning Process Guide to let the vehicle enter the Automatic Relearn mode before driving.

  • Page 84: Stationary Relearn

    Figure 6-35 Automatic Relearn Screen 2 6.7.3 Stationary Relearn Stationary Relearn can be completed without relying on driving and the OBD diagnostics. To activate this mode, it is usually necessary to perform a series of operations to let the vehicle enter the relearn mode first, then use TPMS tools to perform activation or deflation to complete the relearn.
  • Page 85 Copy Relearn is to clone the sensor ID and tire location. Before performing Copy Relearn, you need to first obtain the sensor ID and tire location needed to be cloned, then use Autel tools to clone and program the sensor ID, and install the sensor to the corresponding tire to complete Copy Relearn.
  • Page 86 NOTE Ensure the original sensor will not interfere with the relearn procedures. It is recommended to keep the original sensor at least 100 meters away from the vehicle, or put the sensor in an enclosed metal box to avoid signal interference. Normally, it is not necessary to perform relearn procedures after cloning.
