Understanding EADO XT TPMS Requirements
The EADO XT (Changan Eado XT) uses a direct TPMS system—meaning each wheel has a physical sensor inside the tire that transmits pressure and temperature data to the car’s ECU. These sensors operate on the 433MHz frequency band, which is standard for Chinese domestic market vehicles. If you’re buying a replacement, you cannot mix frequencies; a 315MHz sensor from another brand will not communicate with your EADO XT’s receiver.
What to Check Before Ordering
1. Sensor Frequency – Non-Negotiable
Always verify the frequency printed on your old sensor. For the EADO XT, it will be 433MHz. This is stamped on the sensor housing. Do not rely on the seller’s “universal” claims—some aftermarket sensors are multi-frequency, but the EADO XT’s system is specifically tuned to 433MHz.
2. Pre-Programmed vs. Programmable
- Pre-programmed: Ready to install. The sensor already contains the correct protocol and ID for Changan vehicles. The BL-ST-042 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Changan, Kaicene, Oshan | OE# 3601010BK01, 3601010MK01, 3601010MK51 is pre-programmed—no extra tool needed.
- Programmable: Requires a TPMS programming tool to clone the original sensor ID. This adds time and cost. For most EADO XT owners, pre-programmed is the safer choice.
3. Valve Stem Type
EADO XT uses clamp-in sensors (metal valve stem secured by a nut from the outside). Do not buy snap-in (rubber stem) sensors—they will not seal properly and may leak.
4. OE Compatibility
The sensor must be listed as compatible with Changan (OEM) systems. The BH-Sens BL-ST-042 directly replaces OE numbers 3601010BK01, 3601010MK01, and 3601010MK51. If you see these numbers on your old sensor, it’s a direct swap.

B2B Bulk Buying Notes for EADO XT Sensors
If you are a workshop or distributor ordering multiple sensors for EADO XT fleets or stock, here’s what matters:
Batch Consistency
Pre-programmed sensors from BH-Sens are batch-tested for frequency accuracy. When ordering in bulk, always request a frequency test report from your supplier. A batch that drifts even 0.5MHz can cause intermittent signal loss in some vehicles.
Packaging and Shelf Life
TPMS sensors have a finite battery life (typically 5 years from manufacture date). For B2B orders, ensure the sensors are less than 12 months old at delivery. The BL-ST-042’s battery is sealed lithium, and the clock starts ticking at the factory—not when installed. Order only what you can sell within 18 months.
Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs)
BH-Sens sensors from reliable China suppliers like Risensauto typically have an MOQ of 10 pieces for bulk pricing. For the BL-ST-042, expect a 15-20% discount at 50+ units. Negotiate for a mixed batch if you also need sensors for Changan CS35 or Oshan models—they share the same 433MHz platform.
Warranty Considerations
B2B buyers should ask for a 12-month warranty from the date of invoice. BH-Sens sensors have a low failure rate (<2%), but if you’re selling to end customers, you need coverage. Avoid suppliers that offer less than 6 months.
Common Mistakes When Ordering EADO XT TPMS Sensors
- Assuming all 433MHz sensors work. They don’t. The EADO XT uses a specific protocol (usually Schrader or Continental compatible). The BL-ST-042 is factory-mapped to Changan’s protocol.
- Ordering programmable sensors without a tool. If you buy a generic programmable sensor, you’ll need a TPMS tool (like Autel or Bartec) to write the ID. That’s an extra $200+ cost. Pre-programmed avoids this.
- Ignoring the valve core. Some aftermarket sensors come with a plastic core. The BL-ST-042 uses a brass core—more durable for high-speed driving.
Recommended Part
For a direct, hassle-free replacement, use the BL-ST-042 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Changan, Kaicene, Oshan | OE# 3601010BK01, 3601010MK01, 3601010MK51. It’s pre-programmed, clamp-in, and verified for EADO XT models with OE numbers 3601010BK01, 3601010MK01, or 3601010MK51. No programming tool, no relearn procedure—just install and drive.
FAQ
How do I know if my EADO XT uses 433MHz or 315MHz sensors?
Check the old sensor’s label. If the label is worn, look at the vehicle’s TPMS receiver module (usually behind the glove box or under the rear seat)—it should have a frequency sticker. 99% of Changan Eado XT models built after 2015 use 433MHz.
Can I use a sensor from a Changan CS35 on my EADO XT?
Yes, if the sensor is 433MHz and pre-programmed for Changan’s protocol. The BL-ST-042 fits both models because the TPMS platform is shared across Changan’s sedan and SUV lines. However, always verify the OE number matches.
How long does a BH-Sens BL-ST-042 battery last?
Typically 5–7 years from the manufacture date, depending on driving conditions. In hot climates or with frequent off-road use, expect 5 years. The sensor will give a low-battery warning about 3 months before failure—do not ignore it.
Do I need to relearn the sensor after installation with the BL-ST-042?
No. Because the sensor is pre-programmed with the correct ID for Changan systems, your EADO XT’s ECU will automatically recognize it after a short drive (typically 5–10 minutes above 25 km/h). No TPMS tool or relearn procedure is required.
