Understanding Your 炮 TPMS Needs
The 炮 line, produced by Great Wall Motors (GWM), includes popular models like the 炮 pickup (also known as the GWM Cannon) and its electric variants. These vehicles often use 433MHz TPMS sensors from suppliers like BH-Sens (Baolong Technology), which are also shared across BAIC, Geely, and Geometry platforms. Before you order, you need to know three things: the frequency your vehicle uses, the sensor type (clamp-in vs. snap-in), and the OE number that matches your system.
Most 炮 models from 2018 onward use a 433MHz direct TPMS system with clamp-in sensors, meaning the sensor is screwed into the valve stem and held by a nut inside the wheel. This is the standard for trucks and SUVs because it handles higher tire pressures and off-road conditions better than snap-in sensors.
Key Specs to Verify Before Ordering
Frequency: 433MHz vs. 315MHz
The vast majority of Chinese-brand vehicles—including 炮, BAIC, and Geely—operate on 433MHz. However, some early or export models may use 315MHz. Check your glove box sticker, the original sensor body, or your owner’s manual. If you’re buying for a fleet, assume 433MHz unless you have physical confirmation.
Sensor Type: Clamp-In Only
For the 炮 and most GWM trucks, clamp-in sensors are the correct choice. Snap-in sensors (rubber grommet) are common on sedans but will not seal properly on heavy-duty rims. The product BL-ST-073 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits BAIC, Baic Ev, GWM, Geely, Geometry & 8 More | OE# 01732445, 25M01A031A, 3641100XKR02A is a clamp-in design, which is what you need.
Pre-Programmed vs. Programmable
Pre-programmed sensors (like this BH-Sens unit) arrive ready to install. They are cloned to match the original sensor ID, so no TPMS relearn tool is needed—the vehicle recognizes them immediately. This is a major time saver for both DIY owners and B2B shops servicing multiple vehicles. Programmable sensors require a tool to set the ID before installation, adding labor.
Fitment Table: Compatible Brands and OE Numbers
Below is a fitment reference for the BL-ST-073 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits BAIC, Baic Ev, GWM, Geely, Geometry & 8 More | OE# 01732445, 25M01A031A, 3641100XKR02A sensor. Always double-check your specific model year and trim, as variations exist.
| Vehicle Brand | Compatible Models (Example) | OE Numbers |
|---|---|---|
| 炮 (GWM Cannon) | 2020–2025 pickup variants | 3641100XKR02A, 3641101XKN01A |
| BAIC | BJ40, BJ80, EU5, EU7 | 01732445, 25M01A031A |
| Baic EV | EX3, EX5, EU series | 3666200U3400 |
| GWM | Haval H6, Jolion, Wingle 7 | B00011299 |
| Geely | Emgrand, Boyue, Binrui | 01732445, 25M01A031A |
| Geometry | A, C, EX3 | 3641100XKR02A |
This sensor covers 8+ brands because many Chinese OEMs share TPMS suppliers. BH-Sens (Baolong Technology) is the OE manufacturer for GWM and BAIC, making this a direct replacement.
B2B Bulk Buying Notes for 炮 and Mixed Fleets
If you’re a workshop or distributor ordering sensors for 炮 vehicles and other Chinese brands, here are practical considerations:
1. Batch Consistency
Order pre-programmed sensors from the same production batch whenever possible. While BH-Sens units are individually tested, sensors from different batches may have slight ID range differences that some TPMS tools struggle to read. Request a batch number from your supplier.
2. Cross-Brand Compatibility
Because the same sensor fits BAIC, GWM, and Geely, you can stock one SKU (BL-ST-073) for multiple fleets. This reduces inventory complexity. However, verify the valve stem length: 炮 pickups often use a 37mm or 42mm stem for steel rims, while BAIC sedans use a shorter 32mm. The BL-ST-073 typically comes with a universal stem, but confirm with your supplier if you need a specific length.
3. What to Ask Your Supplier
- Are the sensors pre-programmed with the OE IDs listed (e.g., 01732445), or do they need to be programmed on arrival?
- What is the warranty period? BH-Sens typically offers 2 years from date of purchase.
- Do you provide a programming tool for bulk orders? Some suppliers include a free or discounted TPMS tool for orders over 50 units.
4. Avoid Cheap Knockoffs
Counterfeit sensors often use incorrect internal components that fail within 6 months. Always buy from a known brand like BH-Sens. The BL-ST-073 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits BAIC, Baic Ev, GWM, Geely, Geometry & 8 More | OE# 01732445, 25M01A031A, 3641100XKR02A is sourced directly from Baolong Technology’s authorized channels, ensuring OE-level quality.
Installation Tips for 炮 Owners
- Use a torque wrench: Tighten the clamp-in nut to the manufacturer’s spec (typically 4–6 Nm for aluminum rims, 8–10 Nm for steel). Over-tightening can crack the sensor body.
- Check the rubber seal: Each sensor comes with a new sealing gasket. Do not reuse the old one.
- Relearn procedure: For most 炮 models, the system auto-learns after driving 10 minutes above 25 km/h. If not, use a TPMS trigger tool (e.g., Autel TS508) to wake the sensor.

FAQ
Can I use this sensor on a 炮 with steel rims?
Yes. The clamp-in design works with both steel and aluminum rims. Just ensure the valve stem hole is standard 11.5mm (most 炮 wheels are). For deep-dish steel rims, you may need a longer stem version—check with your supplier before ordering.
How do I know if my 炮 uses 433MHz or 315MHz?
Open your glove box or center console; there is often a TPMS sticker listing the frequency. If not, look at the original sensor body—the frequency is printed on the label. If you cannot find it, 433MHz is the safe bet for 2018+ models.
Is the sensor compatible with third-party TPMS scan tools?
Yes. BH-Sens sensors are supported by all major TPMS tools (Autel, Bartec, ATEQ). The sensor ID is pre-programmed, so the tool will read it immediately. No special activation needed.
What is the typical lifespan of this sensor?
BH-Sens sensors use a replaceable battery rated for 5–7 years. The sensor itself is sealed; if the battery dies, replace the entire unit. In normal use, expect 5–6 years before replacement, depending on driving conditions.
