Understanding the BL-ST-030 Sensor for 奔奔E-STAR
The BL-ST-030 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Changan | OE# 3601010M01AA, 3601010M03 is a clamp-in, pre-programmed TPMS sensor manufactured by BH-Sens (Baolong Technology). It operates at 433MHz—the standard frequency for Changan vehicles, including the 奔奔E-STAR. This sensor comes ready to install without programming, as it is pre-matched to Changan’s TPMS system. However, “pre-programmed” does not mean universal compatibility across all model years.
奔奔E-STAR Year Coverage & Fitment Considerations
The 奔奔E-STAR has been produced in multiple variants since its introduction. While the BL-ST-030 sensor generally fits 2019–2023 models, the following factors can affect compatibility:
- Production year splits: Some 2020–2021 models may use a different sensor revision. Always verify the OE part number on your original sensor.
- Battery type: The BL-ST-030 uses a standard CR2032 battery, but some early 奔奔E-STAR models may have used lithium battery sensors with different housing designs.
- Tire pressure monitoring system generation: Changan updated the TPMS protocol around 2022. If your car was built after mid-2022, confirm that the sensor firmware matches your vehicle’s system.

| Model Variant | Typical Year Range | OE# Compatibility | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 奔奔E-STAR 纯电动 | 2019–2021 | 3601010M01AA | Most common fitment; check revision |
| 奔奔E-STAR 纯电动 | 2022–2023 | 3601010M03 | Updated protocol; verify with sensor scan |
| 奔奔E-STAR 国民版 | 2020–2022 | 3601010M01AA or M03 | Depends on production batch |
How to Verify Fitment Before Buying
Do not rely solely on model name or year. Follow these steps for 100% compatibility:
- Locate your current sensor: Remove the tire and find the sensor mounted on the valve stem. The part number is printed on the metal body.
- Match the OE number: Compare with 3601010M01AA or 3601010M03. If the number matches exactly, the BL-ST-030 is a direct swap.
- Check the frequency: Most 奔奔E-STAR sensors are 433MHz, but some aftermarket replacements may be 315MHz. If your original sensor shows 315MHz, the BL-ST-030 will not work.
- Use a TPMS scan tool: A handheld scanner can read the sensor ID and confirm it is compatible with your vehicle’s receiver. This is the most reliable method.
Other Changan Models That Use the Same Sensor
The BL-ST-030 is not exclusive to the 奔奔E-STAR. It also fits:
- Changan CS35 (2018–2022)
- Changan CS55 (2019–2023)
- Changan Eado (2017–2021)
- Changan UNI-T (2020–2023)
If you own one of these models, the same fitment verification steps apply.

FAQ
Will the BL-ST-030 work on a 2024 奔奔E-STAR?
The BL-ST-030 is designed for models up to 2023. For 2024 奔奔E-STAR vehicles, you should confirm the OE number—Changan may have updated the TPMS system. Contact the seller with your VIN for confirmation.
Can I install this sensor myself?
Yes, if you have a tire mounting machine and a torque wrench. The sensor clamps in at 4–5 Nm (check your vehicle manual). After installation, you need to relearn the sensor ID using a TPMS tool or the car’s onboard menu.
What if my 奔奔E-STAR uses a 315MHz sensor?
The BL-ST-030 is 433MHz only. If your vehicle uses 315MHz, this sensor will not communicate with the TPMS receiver. You would need a different sensor model—check with the supplier for a 315MHz variant.
How long does the battery last on this sensor?
The CR2032 battery inside the BL-ST-030 typically lasts 5–7 years under normal driving conditions. When the battery dies, the entire sensor must be replaced (batteries are not user-replaceable).
