Why Fitment Verification Matters for Geely TPMS Sensors
Geely has rapidly expanded its global lineup with models like the Emgrand, Coolray, Azkarra, and Monjaro. While many share platforms, TPMS sensors are often vehicle-specific. Using an incompatible sensor can cause false low-pressure warnings, no signal errors, or even failure to program. The Geely BL-ST-036 sensor is a direct-fit replacement for vehicles originally equipped with OE number 01725271, but not every Geely uses this part. Always verify before you install.
Compatible Geely Models and Year Coverage
Based on available data and aftermarket cross-references, the BL-ST-036 sensor fits the following Geely applications. Note that model years may vary by region (China / export markets), and some early or late production runs may differ.
| Geely Model | Approximate Year Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Emgrand (EC7) | 2015–2020 | Common in Asian markets |
| Emgrand GL | 2016–2022 | Sedan variant |
| Emgrand GS | 2016–2020 | Crossover hatchback |
| Boyue (Pro) | 2016–2022 | SUV, also sold as Azkarra in some markets |
| Yuanjing X3 | 2018–2021 | Small SUV |
Important: This is not an exhaustive list. Some Geely models (e.g., Coolray, Tugella, Monjaro) may use a different TPMS sensor frequency or OE number. Always check the original sensor.
How to Verify Fitment Before Buying
Step 1: Locate Your Original Sensor’s OE Number
The OE number (01725271) is the most reliable identifier. It is usually printed on the sensor body, visible once the tire is removed. You can also find it in your vehicle’s service manual or by contacting a Geely dealer with your VIN.
Step 2: Confirm the Frequency
The BL-ST-036 operates at 433MHz. Most Geely TPMS systems use 433MHz, but some newer or export models may use 315MHz. If your original sensor has a different frequency printed on it, this sensor will not work.
Step 3: Check the Sensor Type
This is a clamp-in (metal valve stem) sensor. If your Geely uses snap-in (rubber valve) sensors, the BL-ST-036 is not a direct physical replacement. However, clamp-in sensors are standard on most Geely models listed above.
Step 4: Verify with Your VIN
Use your VIN to check with an online cross-reference tool or your local parts supplier. The VIN will tell you exactly which TPMS system your vehicle left the factory with. The BL-ST-036 is pre-programmed, meaning it already contains the correct protocol for 01725271 applications—no cloning or external programming tool is required for installation.
What Makes the BL-ST-036 a Good Fit for Geely?
The sensor is manufactured by BH-Sens, a brand under Baolong Technology—an OE supplier for many Chinese automakers, including Geely. This means the sensor uses the same internals and protocols as the factory part. It is pre-programmed, so you install it like a direct OE replacement. No additional programming is needed if your vehicle originally used OE# 01725271.
The product weight is approximately 1 ounce, and it is a clamp-in design with a metal valve stem. It is compatible with standard TPMS diagnostic tools for registration (relearning) after installation.
Common Mistakes When Choosing a Geely TPMS Sensor
- Assuming all Geely models use the same sensor. They do not. Even within the Emgrand lineup, different years may use different OE numbers.
- Ignoring the frequency. A 315MHz sensor will not work in a 433MHz system, and vice versa. Check the original sensor or your owner’s manual.
- Relying on model year alone. Production changes can happen mid-year. Always verify by OE number or VIN.
- Forgetting to install new sealing hardware. Always replace the valve core, cap, and seal when installing a new TPMS sensor. The BL-ST-036 comes with these components.
Installation and Relearning
After installing the sensor, you will need to perform a TPMS relearn procedure. For most Geely models, this can be done with a TPMS activation tool (available separately) or by driving the vehicle at speeds above 15 mph for 10–15 minutes. Some models require a manual relearn using the TPMS reset button. Check your owner’s manual for the correct procedure.
Recommended Part
If your Geely uses OE# 01725271, the BL-ST-036 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Geely | OE# 01725271 is a direct, pre-programmed replacement. It saves you the hassle of sourcing a dealer part and is ready to install out of the box. Always verify fitment using the steps above before purchasing.
FAQ
How do I know if my Geely uses OE# 01725271?
Check the original sensor on your vehicle. The OE number is printed on the sensor body, usually near the valve stem. You can also look up your VIN in a TPMS catalog or contact a Geely service department.
Can I install the BL-ST-036 on a Geely Coolray?
The Coolray typically uses a different TPMS sensor (often OE# 01725272 or similar). Do not assume compatibility—check your original sensor. The BL-ST-036 is not listed as a direct fit for Coolray.
Does the BL-ST-036 require programming before installation?
No. It is pre-programmed to match the OE# 01725271 protocol. However, after installation, you must perform a vehicle relearn procedure to register the sensor IDs with your car’s TPMS module.
What if my Geely uses 315MHz instead of 433MHz?
The BL-ST-036 will not work. You need a 315MHz sensor designed for your specific Geely model. Check the frequency on your original sensor before ordering.
