Why Fitment Verification Matters for HS TPMS Sensors
HS vehicles use TPMS sensors that communicate at 433MHz, a frequency common in many Chinese-made platforms. The BL-ST-031 is a clamp-in, pre-programmed sensor from BH-Sens (Baolong Technology), a major OEM supplier. Unlike universal sensors that require programming, this unit is ready to install—but only if your HS falls within the correct year range and OE compatibility list. Installing the wrong sensor means no signal, a persistent dashboard warning light, and a wasted afternoon.
HS Model and Year Coverage for BL-ST-031
The BL-ST-031 covers HS models produced primarily from 2018 onward. However, not every HS variant uses the same TPMS system. Below is a fitment table based on verified data:
| HS Model Variant | Year Range | OE Cross-Reference | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| HS 20T / 30T | 2018–2022 | 10290600, 10625492 | Standard clamp-in sensors |
| HS PHEV | 2019–2023 | 10718213 | Hybrid variant may use same OE |
| HS Sport | 2020–2023 | 11205327 | Verify with original sensor |
| HS (facelift) | 2021–2024 | 10290600, 10625492 | Updated compatibility confirmed |
Important: Some early 2018 HS models may have used a different frequency (315MHz). Always check the label on your existing sensor or consult your owner’s manual.
How to Verify Fitment in 3 Steps
Step 1: Locate Your Current Sensor’s Part Number
Remove the tire and look for a stamped number on the sensor body. Common locations include the metal housing or the plastic valve stem. For HS models, the OEM number is usually one of these: 10290600, 10625492, 10718213, or 11205327. If you see any of these, the BL-ST-031 is a direct replacement.
Step 2: Confirm Your Vehicle’s Production Year
Check the VIN plate (driver’s door jamb) for the manufacture date. HS models built between mid-2018 and early 2024 are the primary targets. If your HS is a 2017 or early 2018 model, call or message us with your VIN to confirm—some early production units used a different TPMS protocol.
Step 3: Cross-Reference with the BL-ST-031 Specs
The sensor is pre-programmed with the following characteristics:
- Frequency: 433MHz (not 315MHz)
- Type: Clamp-in (metal valve stem, nut-secured)
- OE Replacements: 10290600, 10625492, 10718213, 11205327
- Compatible Brands: HS, MG, Rising, Roewe
If your car matches these specs, you’re good to go. If not—for example, if your original sensor is a snap-in type—this part won’t fit.
Compatibility Beyond HS
The BL-ST-031 also fits many MG, Rising, and Roewe models that share the SAIC platform. This includes:
- MG ZS, MG6, MG HS (different from the HS brand—verify separately)
- Rising Auto ER6, Marvel R
- Roewe i5, i6, RX5, RX8
For non-HS vehicles, the same OE number cross-reference applies. When in doubt, check the sensor’s marking.
Common Fitment Mistakes to Avoid
- Assuming all HS models use the same sensor. Hybrid and PHEV variants sometimes have different OE numbers. Always verify.
- Mixing frequencies. The BL-ST-031 is 433MHz only. If your HS uses 315MHz (rare for 2018+ models but possible), this sensor will not work.
- Ignoring the valve stem type. The BL-ST-031 is clamp-in. If your current sensor is a snap-in (plastic, push-in valve), you need a different part.

FAQ
Does the BL-ST-031 work on all HS trims?
It works on most HS trims from 2018–2024, including 20T, 30T, and PHEV. However, base trims from 2018 with 315MHz TPMS are not compatible. Check your original sensor’s OE number to be sure.
Do I need to program the sensor after installation?
No. The BL-ST-031 is pre-programmed to match OE specifications for the listed vehicles. Once installed, the sensor will auto-learn to your vehicle’s TPMS module during normal driving (typically within 5–10 minutes above 15 mph).
Can I use this sensor on a 2017 HS?
Probably not. Most 2017 HS models used a different TPMS system. Verify your sensor’s OE number; if it matches 10290600, 10625492, 10718213, or 11205327, it will fit. Otherwise, look for a sensor specific to 2017 production.
How do I confirm my HS uses 433MHz?
The easiest way is to read the label on your existing sensor. It will list the frequency (433MHz or 315MHz). Alternatively, check your owner’s manual under “Tire Pressure Monitoring System” specifications. If you can’t find it, contact us with your VIN for confirmation.
