Understanding Weiwang TPMS Compatibility
Weiwang, a sub-brand under BAIC Group, uses TPMS sensors that share frequency and protocol standards with many GM and Chinese domestic platforms. The most common frequency across Weiwang models is 433MHz, which aligns with the BH-Sens BL-ST-059 sensor. While Weiwang isn’t as widely documented as mainstream brands, the underlying sensor technology is consistent.
Most Weiwang vehicles built after 2010 use direct TPMS sensors mounted inside the tire. The sensors transmit pressure and temperature data to a receiver module. When the battery dies (typically after 5–7 years), the entire sensor unit must be replaced — there’s no user-serviceable battery.
How to Verify Fitment for Your Weiwang
Step 1: Check the OE Number on Your Current Sensor
The most reliable way to confirm compatibility is to read the part number printed on your existing sensor. Weiwang sensors often carry these OE numbers:
| OE Number | Compatible Weiwang Models (Typical) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 13516165 | Weiwang M20, M30, M50 (2013–2018) | Common on early BAIC platforms |
| 13522631 | Weiwang M60, S50 (2015–2020) | Also found on BAIC EV models |
| 13540603 | Weiwang X25, X35 (2016–2021) | Often paired with 433MHz protocol |
If your sensor’s OE number matches any of these, the BH-Sens BL-ST-059 (BL-ST-059 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits BAIC, Baic Ev, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet & 15 More | OE# 13516165, 13522631, 13540603) is a direct replacement. The sensor covers 18+ OE numbers including the three listed above.
Step 2: Confirm the Frequency
All Weiwang TPMS sensors use 433MHz unless your vehicle was imported from a market that uses 315MHz (rare for Chinese domestic models). Look for “433MHz” printed on the sensor body. If the label is worn, a TPMS programming tool can read the frequency wirelessly.
Step 3: Verify Valve Stem Type
Weiwang uses two valve stem styles:
- Rubber snap-in – Most common on steel wheels
- Clamp-in metal – Used on alloy wheels with TPMS provisions
The BL-ST-059 sensor comes as a complete unit with a metal clamp-in stem. If your Weiwang has rubber snap-in sensors, you’ll need an adapter or a different sensor variant. Check your wheel type before ordering.
Common Weiwang Models and Their TPMS Sensors
| Weiwang Model | Production Years | Typical Frequency | Recommended Sensor OE Cross |
|---|---|---|---|
| M20 / M30 / M50 | 2013–2019 | 433MHz | 13516165, 13522631 |
| X25 / X35 | 2016–2021 | 433MHz | 13540603, 13544442 |
| S50 | 2017–2020 | 433MHz | 13522631, 13581561 |
| M60 | 2015–2018 | 433MHz | 13598773, 13598787 |
Important: Production year cutoffs are approximate. Always verify by removing the sensor and reading the OE number, or use a TPMS diagnostic tool to scan the vehicle’s receiver module.
Programming and Relearn
After installing the BL-ST-059 sensor, your Weiwang will require a TPMS relearn procedure. Most models use either:
- Automatic relearn – Drive above 25 mph for 10–15 minutes
- Manual relearn – Use a TPMS activation tool or the vehicle’s menu to trigger each sensor
Refer to your owner’s manual for the specific relearn method. If you don’t have a manual, a local tire shop can perform the relearn for a small fee.
Recommended Part
For Weiwang owners needing a reliable 433MHz replacement, the BH-Sens BL-ST-059 (BL-ST-059 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits BAIC, Baic Ev, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet & 15 More | OE# 13516165, 13522631, 13540603) covers the widest range of Weiwang models from 2013 onward. It’s a direct OE replacement for BAIC-based platforms and is pre-programmed to match GM protocols, which Weiwang’s TPMS system uses.
FAQ
Can I use a TPMS sensor from a Chevrolet on my Weiwang?
Yes, in many cases. Weiwang shares its TPMS platform with certain GM vehicles (Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac) that use the same 433MHz frequency and OE numbers like 13516165 or 13522631. Verify the OE number on your sensor first, then cross-reference.
How do I know if my Weiwang sensor is dead?
The dashboard TPMS warning light will stay illuminated, and one or more tire pressures will read “–” or a dashed line on the display. You may also notice a rapid loss of air from the valve stem area, indicating a cracked sensor housing.
What tools do I need to replace a Weiwang TPMS sensor?
You’ll need a tire dismounting machine (or take it to a shop), a torque wrench (typically 4–6 Nm for the sensor nut), and optionally a TPMS activation tool for the relearn procedure. The sensor itself comes pre-assembled with the valve stem.
Does the BL-ST-059 work on Weiwang M70 or M80 models?
The BL-ST-059 should work on M70 and M80 models built after 2015, provided they use 433MHz sensors. However, some late-model M80s may use a different protocol. Always check the OE number on your existing sensor before ordering.
