Why Fitment Verification Matters for MIRAI TPMS Sensors
MIRAI vehicles, like many modern cars, use tire pressure monitoring systems that rely on specific sensor frequencies and protocols. Installing the wrong TPMS sensor—even one with the same thread size—can cause dashboard warning lights, incorrect pressure readings, or complete system failure. The BL-ST-031 sensor is pre-programmed for specific OE fitments across 59 vehicle variants, but not every MIRAI model uses this exact part. Taking five minutes to verify compatibility saves you return shipping costs and downtime.
MIRAI Year Coverage and Compatible Models
The BL-ST-031 TPMS sensor is engineered for MIRAI vehicles that originally used OE numbers 10290600, 10625492, 10718213, or 11205327. These OE numbers correspond to specific production batches and model years. While exact year coverage can vary by market and trim level, the sensor typically fits MIRAI models manufactured after 2018—but never assume without checking.
| MIRAI Compatible Models | Typical Year Range | OE Number Cross-Reference |
|---|---|---|
| MIRAI Base & Premium | 2018–2022 | 10290600, 10625492 |
| MIRAI Executive | 2019–2023 | 10718213, 11205327 |
| MIRAI Long Wheelbase | 2020–2022 | 10290600, 11205327 |
Note: These ranges are common benchmarks. Always verify against your specific vehicle’s original sensor.
How to Check Your MIRAI’s TPMS Sensor Compatibility
Follow these steps to confirm the BL-ST-031 will work on your MIRAI:
1. Locate the OE Number on Your Current Sensor
Remove the tire and look for a four- or five-digit code stamped on the metal sensor body—usually near the valve stem. Common locations include the clamping nut or the sensor’s flat face. The OE number you’re matching is one of these: 10290600, 10625492, 10718213, or 11205327.
2. Verify the Frequency
Your MIRAI’s TPMS system operates on either 315MHz or 433MHz. The BL-ST-031 is 433MHz. Check your owner’s manual or the sticker inside the driver’s door jamb for the frequency specification. If your MIRAI uses 315MHz, this sensor will not work.
3. Confirm the Sensor Type
MIRAI vehicles use clamp-in TPMS sensors. The BL-ST-031 is a clamp-in design, which means it secures with a nut inside the wheel. If your MIRAI uses snap-in sensors (rare but possible on older models), this part is incompatible.
4. Check Your Vehicle’s VIN
Some MIRAI models produced for different regions (China, Europe, Middle East) may have slight TPMS protocol variations. Providing your VIN to a parts specialist or using an online decoder can confirm if your car falls within the 59 dedicated OE fitments covered by this sensor.
Common Fitment Mistakes MIRAI Owners Make
- Assuming all MIRAI models use the same sensor. Different trim levels and production years can switch between sensor suppliers. Always match OE numbers.
- Ignoring frequency differences. A 433MHz sensor will not communicate with a 315MHz receiver, even if it physically fits. Verify before buying.
- Forgetting to check the valve stem orientation. The BL-ST-031 has a specific clamp-in design. If your wheel has an angled valve stem pocket, this sensor may not seat properly.
Recommended Part for MIRAI TPMS Replacement
If your MIRAI’s original OE number matches 10290600, 10625492, 10718213, or 11205327, the BL-ST-031 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Im, MG, Rising, Roewe | OE# 10290600, 10625492, 10718213 is a direct-fit, pre-programmed replacement. It eliminates the need for sensor cloning tools—just install and drive. This sensor is sourced from BH-Sens (Baolong Technology), a reputable TPMS manufacturer supplying many aftermarket and OE channels.
For MIRAI owners who need a reliable drop-in replacement without reprogramming, this sensor saves time compared to universal programmable units.
FAQ
Can I install the BL-ST-031 on a MIRAI without special tools?
Yes. Since the sensor is pre-programmed with the correct protocols for its compatible OE numbers, installation is straightforward: remove the old sensor, install the new one with the included hardware, and mount the tire. Most modern TPMS systems automatically relearn new sensors after a short drive. However, some MIRAI models may require a TPMS relearn tool—check your vehicle’s service manual for the relearn procedure.
What if my MIRAI’s OE number is not listed for the BL-ST-031?
If your sensor has a different OE number, the BL-ST-031 is not guaranteed to work. In that case, look for a universal programmable 433MHz sensor or one specifically matching your vehicle’s original supplier. You can also contact BH-Sens technical support with your VIN to see if additional fitments have been added.
How do I know if my MIRAI uses 433MHz or 315MHz TPMS?
Check the label on the TPMS module (usually under the dashboard or inside the glovebox), or look at your original sensor’s packaging. Alternatively, search your VIN on a TPMS database site. Many MIRAI models sold in Asia and Europe use 433MHz, while some North American export versions may use 315MHz. When in doubt, remove a sensor and read the frequency printed on its housing.
Is the BL-ST-031 compatible with MIRAI models that have direct TPMS or indirect TPMS?
This sensor is designed for direct TPMS systems, where each wheel has a physical pressure sensor. MIRAI vehicles use direct TPMS exclusively. If your MIRAI has an indirect system (measuring wheel speed differences), you do not need individual sensors—but this is uncommon for the MIRAI lineup.
