Hi Team - I have a 2021 Haval H2 vehicle (also known as a Jolion I believe) - it's fitted with tyre pressure monitoring sensors. I've recently had one indicate a fault (instead of displaying the pressure & temperature for each of the 4 tyres one tyre has red warnings flashing next to the wheel icon). About a week later another tyre displayed a fault and then about a week later a third tyre showed a fault.

 

I've double checked the pressures with a manual gauge and am assuming that the batteries in the tyre modules have died (I've read that they last 5 to 8 years).

 

I've visited a tyre shop and an auto-electrician to see if they can scan and re-set the TPMS system (in case it's a fault), but they haven't been able to access the car with their computers. I've booked it in with the dealer but they can't look at it for a couple of weeks. Meanwhile the WOF has expired and it seems I can't get a WOF with a warning sensor on the dash.

 

I've Googled around & it seems there are various methods to disable the system in a few common (USA) vehicles, but nothing that seems to suit a Haval.

 

TLDR - does anyone know a way to disable the whole TPMS system so I can just go back to the good old method of checking the tyres every now & then...? Thanks for any suggestions.

My parents just had the same issue with their 2021 H2, they took it to the dealer and were pleasantly surprised that it had a 5 year warranty with a month left to run. (they thought it only had a 3 year warranty)

 

The dealer replaced all 4 for free under warranty

 

Might be worth checking if your still within your warranty

Sensors might be poked from reading on a few Facebook Chinese vehicle pages I’m on, I think they only last 4 years or so. Might have to get the dealer to sort.

That’s weird that a tyre shop cannot access with a scan tool, maybe they are running older software as it is quite pricey to update scan tool software once the free updates have lapsed.

 

there is a tyre supplier crowd in Wellington that can program/clone new tpms sensors cheaper then a dealer can, but my first option would be to find a mechanic with a scan tool to get the exact fault as it could be the pin on the valves that are faulty and replacement valves are far cheaper.
