Understanding 炫界 TPMS Requirements
The 炫界 (also sold as the Chery Tiggo 2 in some export markets) uses a direct TPMS system that measures tire pressure via sensors mounted inside each wheel. Before ordering a replacement, you need to know three things: frequency, sensor type, and OE number.
Most 炫界 models from 2018 onward use a 433MHz system, but a small number of early production units (2016-2017) may use 315MHz. Always check your original sensor – the frequency is printed on the housing.
Key Checks Before Ordering
1. Confirm Sensor Type: Clamp-in vs Snap-in
The 炫界 factory uses clamp-in sensors secured by a metal nut on the valve stem. Do not order snap-in sensors designed for older Toyota or Honda systems – they will not seal properly. The BH-Sens BL-ST-074 is a clamp-in design that matches the factory fit.
2. Verify OE Number
Look for one of these numbers on your existing sensor:
- 11652AWARDKS (most common on 炫界)
- 802000012AA (used on some export variants)
These numbers correspond to the BL-ST-074 pre-programmed sensor. If your sensor shows a different number, you may need a programmable unit.
3. Pre-programmed vs Programmable: Which One to Buy?
| Feature | Pre-programmed (like BL-ST-074) | Programmable |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Plug and play – no programming tool needed | Requires TPMS tool to assign ID |
| Best for | DIY owners, quick replacement | Shops with multiple vehicle brands |
| 炫界 compatibility | Direct fit for listed OE numbers | May work after programming |
| Cost per unit | Lower (bulk savings) | Higher (includes programming flexibility) |
For a 炫界 owner replacing a single faulty sensor, pre-programmed is the smarter choice. For B2B buyers stocking for multiple Chery/Cowin models, pre-programmed sensors reduce labor time at the shop.
Fitment Table: 炫界 and Compatible Models
The BL-ST-074 covers these 炫界-related applications:
| Vehicle Model | Year Range | OE Number | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 炫界 (Chery Tiggo 2) | 2018-2024 | 11652AWARDKS | Most common fitment |
| Chery eQ1 (export) | 2019-2022 | 802000012AA | Same sensor, different OE stamp |
| Cowin X3 | 2020-2023 | 11652AWARDKS | Identical TPMS system |
| Chery Tiggo 3x | 2017-2024 | 11652AWARDKS | Shares platform with 炫界 |
If your 炫界 falls outside these years, remove one sensor and read the frequency + OE number before ordering.
B2B Bulk Buying Notes
When purchasing sensors in bulk for your shop or distribution, keep these points in mind:
Batch Consistency
Pre-programmed sensors from BH-Sens (Baolong Technology) come with the TPMS ID already assigned. Order in full lot numbers – mixing batches can cause ID conflicts if the sensors are later reprogrammed. Always request the same production date code for a single order.
Calibration Data
For 炫界 and Chery EV models, the sensor transmits pressure ±1 PSI accuracy. Ask your supplier for the calibration certificate per batch – this matters when customers return sensors claiming “inaccurate readings.”
Packaging and Labeling
Bulk orders should arrive in sealed anti-static bags with OE numbers clearly printed. Avoid suppliers who ship loose sensors in plastic bins – these can get scratched valve threads or damaged O-rings.
Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs)
Most direct-from-China suppliers for BL-ST-074 set MOQs at 20-50 pieces. If you need fewer, check risensauto.com for single-unit purchases with same-day shipping.
Installation Tips for 炫界 Owners
- Torque the clamp nut to 4.0-5.0 Nm (check your vehicle manual). Over-tightening cracks the sensor housing.
- Replace the rubber seal (included with BL-ST-074) every time you change a sensor. Reusing old seals is the #1 cause of slow leaks.
- After installation, drive the 炫界 for 5-10 minutes above 25 km/h (15 mph) to wake the sensor. The TPMS light should turn off if the ID is recognized.
- If the light stays on, you may have a sensor with a different frequency. Double-check your original sensor reading.
Recommended Part
For a direct replacement that matches the factory 炫界 TPMS system, use the BL-ST-074 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Chery, Chery Ev, Cowin | OE# 11652AWARDKS, 802000012AA. It is pre-programmed with OE numbers 11652AWARDKS and 802000012AA, clamp-in design, 433MHz frequency, and covers 9 specific vehicle applications including the 炫界 and Chery EV platforms.
FAQ
Can I use a 315MHz sensor on my 炫界 if I can’t find a 433MHz one?
No. The TPMS receiver module in the 炫界 is tuned specifically for 433MHz. A 315MHz sensor will not communicate with the vehicle’s system, and the TPMS warning light will stay on continuously. Always match the frequency printed on your original sensor.
How do I know if my 炫界 uses the 11652AWARDKS or 802000012AA OE number?
Remove the valve cap and look at the metal sensor body through the wheel spokes. The OE number is laser-etched on the side. If the number is worn off, check your service records or contact a Chery dealer with your VIN. Both numbers are interchangeable for the BL-ST-074.
Is it safe to buy pre-programmed TPMS sensors in bulk from China?
Yes, if the supplier provides clear OE number cross-references and batch calibration data. BH-Sens (Baolong) is a tier-one TPMS manufacturer for Chinese OEMs, so their pre-programmed sensors meet OE specifications. Avoid no-name brands that cannot provide a data sheet.
What is the expected lifespan of a TPMS sensor on a 炫界?
Factory sensors typically last 5-7 years. The internal battery is sealed and non-replaceable. If your 炫界 is more than 6 years old and you are replacing one sensor due to failure, consider replacing all four to avoid sequential failures.
