Why Sensor Compatibility Matters for PARTNER Vehicles
PARTNER vehicles share TPMS architectures across the PSA Group (Peugeot, Citroen, DS) and Chinese joint-venture brands like Aeolus. Using the wrong sensor can trigger warning lights, cause erratic pressure readings, or fail to communicate with the vehicle’s ECU. The most common pitfall? Ordering a 315MHz sensor for a 433MHz system, or a programmable sensor that isn’t pre-loaded with the correct OE data.
What to Check Before Ordering a TPMS Sensor
1. Frequency – Start Here
Most PARTNER models from 2010 onward use 433MHz. A few older models (pre-2008) may use 315MHz. Check your vehicle’s build date or look at the original sensor’s label. If the label is gone, use a TPMS scan tool to read the frequency.
2. OE Part Number Cross-Reference
Your best bet is to match the OE number stamped on your old sensor. For example, the BL-ST-079 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Aeolus, Citroen, Ds, Peugeot | OE# 9802003680, 9811536380, ZQ81238680 is pre-programmed for OE# 9802003680, 9811536380, and ZQ81238680. If you see any of these numbers on your current sensor, you’re set.
3. Clamp-in vs. Snap-in Design
All PARTNER TPMS sensors we supply are clamp-in (metal valve stem with a nut). This is the standard for European platforms. Snap-in sensors are rare on these models – if you see one, it’s likely a retrofit.
4. Pre-Programmed vs. Programmable
- Pre-programmed (like BL-ST-079) are “plug and play” – no cloning tool needed. They arrive with the correct OE data and will auto-learn on most PARTNER vehicles after a short drive.
- Programmable require a TPMS programming tool. For B2B buyers, pre-programmed reduces labor time and tool costs.
Fitment Table – PARTNER Models Compatible with BL-ST-079
| Brand | Model Examples | Approximate Year Range |
|---|---|---|
| Peugeot | 2008, 3008, 308, 508, RCZ | 2010–2020 |
| Citroen | C3, C4, C5, C4 Picasso, DS3 | 2010–2020 |
| DS | DS3, DS4, DS5, DS7 Crossback | 2010–2020 |
| Aeolus | AX7, H30 Cross | 2014–2020 |
Note: Always cross-check with your VIN or current sensor label. Year ranges vary by market region.
B2B Bulk Buying Notes for TPMS Sensors
If you’re sourcing for a workshop or fleet, here’s what matters:
- OE coverage per SKU: The BL-ST-079 covers 28 OE fitments across four brands. One SKU reduces inventory complexity.
- Pre-programmed means faster installs: No programming step – just install, drive, and the sensor auto-learns within 10–15 minutes. This is critical for high-volume shops.
- Minimum order quantities (MOQs): Our direct-from-China sourcing allows flexible MOQs. For bulk orders (50+), we can offer custom packaging or mixed SKU pallets. Ask for a quote with your target volume.
- Quality consistency: BH-Sens (Baolong Technology) is an OE-tier manufacturer. We do not sell unbranded clones. For B2B, this means fewer warranty returns.
Recommended Part
For most PARTNER vehicles (Peugeot, Citroen, DS, Aeolus) requiring a 433MHz clamp-in sensor, the BL-ST-079 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Aeolus, Citroen, Ds, Peugeot | OE# 9802003680, 9811536380, ZQ81238680 is a reliable, pre-programmed option covering 28 OE fitments. It saves installation time and eliminates programming errors.
FAQ
Can I use the BL-ST-079 on a 2015 Peugeot 508 with a 433MHz system?
Yes, it is pre-programmed for that exact application. Verify your original sensor shows one of the listed OE numbers (9802003680, 9811536380, or ZQ81238680) to be certain.
Do I need a TPMS relearn tool after installing this sensor?
No. The BL-ST-079 is auto-learn compatible. After installation, drive above 25 km/h for 10–15 minutes. The vehicle will automatically detect and register the new sensor.
How do I confirm my PARTNER vehicle uses 433MHz and not 315MHz?
Check the original sensor label. If the label is missing, use a TPMS scan tool (like an Autel or Bartec) to read the frequency directly. Most PARTNER models from 2010 onward are 433MHz.
For B2B orders, what is the typical lead time for bulk quantities?
We maintain stock on BL-ST-079. For orders of 50–500 units, typical lead time is 5–10 business days. For larger quantities, contact us for a custom production schedule.
