Understanding the BL-ST-035 TPMS Sensor
The BH-Sens BL-ST-035 is a pre-programmed, clamp-in TPMS sensor operating at 433MHz. It’s manufactured by Baolong Technology, a major OE supplier for Chinese and global automakers. This sensor is designed as a direct replacement for several original equipment part numbers, including:
- 3787020BSK
- CNHC156508AA
- KC16508AA
- LAA20050011
- LAA20050018
- M0137000006
- VE60044901
- X0137000023
Because it’s pre-programmed, the sensor comes ready to pair with most compatible vehicles without needing a separate programming tool—though a relearn procedure is still required after installation.
TALAGON Model Compatibility
TALAGON is a Chinese commercial vehicle brand owned by Higer Bus, producing light trucks, vans, and MPVs. The BL-ST-035 sensor is commonly found on TALAGON models equipped with TPMS from the factory. Based on real-world applications and cross-referencing OE numbers, the following TALAGON models are likely compatible:
| TALAGON Model | Approximate Year Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| TALAGON H5 | 2018–2023 | Light truck/van; check sensor location |
| TALAGON T5 | 2019–2024 | MPV; common TPMS frequency 433MHz |
| TALAGON V5 | 2020–2024 | Commercial van; verify OE part number |
| TALAGON G7 | 2021–2024 | Newer model; confirm compatibility with dealer |
Important: This table is based on typical fitment patterns. TALAGON may use different sensors across model years or even within the same model. Always verify before ordering.
How to Verify Fitment Before Buying
You can’t rely on model name alone—TALAGON vehicles sometimes use sensors from different suppliers depending on the production batch. Use these three methods to confirm the BL-ST-035 fits your vehicle:
1. Check Your Current Sensor’s Part Number
Remove the tire and look at the sensor mounted to the valve stem. The part number is usually printed on the sensor body. If it matches any of the OE numbers listed above (3787020BSK, CNHC156508AA, KC16508AA, etc.), the BL-ST-035 is a direct replacement.
2. Read the Sensor Frequency
The BL-ST-035 operates at 433MHz. Use a TPMS trigger tool or scan tool to read the frequency of your existing sensor. If it reads 433MHz, this sensor is likely compatible. If your vehicle uses 315MHz, the BL-ST-035 will not work.
3. Cross-Reference the VIN
Many TALAGON dealers and parts databases can look up TPMS sensor fitment by VIN. Provide the last 8 digits to a supplier like RisensAuto, or check the OE numbers against your vehicle’s service records.
Installation and Programming Notes
The BL-ST-035 is a pre-programmed sensor, meaning it already contains the correct TPMS ID and protocol for the listed OE part numbers. However, after installing the sensor, you still need to perform a TPMS relearn to sync the new sensor with your vehicle’s ECU.
- Relearn methods: Most TALAGON vehicles use an automatic relearn (drive above 15–20 mph for 5–10 minutes) or a manual relearn using a TPMS tool. Check your owner’s manual.
- Torque caution: Tighten the sensor’s retaining nut to the manufacturer’s specification—typically around 35–40 in-lbs for valve stem sensors. Over-tightening can damage the sensor.
- Valve stem type: The BL-ST-035 is a clamp-in sensor, meaning it uses a metal valve stem secured with a nut. This is standard on most TALAGON vehicles.
What If Your TALAGON Isn’t Listed?
If your TALAGON model isn’t in the compatibility table above, it doesn’t automatically mean the BL-ST-035 won’t fit. Some TALAGON vehicles share TPMS components with other Chinese brands like Foton, JMC, or King Long. The sensor’s OE numbers also appear on Ford, Hongqi, and Li Auto vehicles, which suggests broad cross-platform compatibility. Still, the safest approach is to visually match the sensor or consult a TPMS database.
Recommended Part
For most TALAGON H5, T5, V5, and G7 models from 2018 onward, the BL-ST-035 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Ford, Hongqi, Jmc, Li, Wmmotor | OE# 3787020BSK, CNHC156508AA, KC16508AA is a reliable, cost-effective replacement. It’s pre-programmed, OE-matched, and sourced directly from the Baolong factory—no compatibility guesswork if you verify your OE number first.
FAQ
Can I install the BL-ST-035 sensor myself?
Yes, if you have basic tire dismounting tools and a torque wrench. You’ll need to remove the tire from the wheel, replace the old sensor, re-mount and balance the tire, then perform a TPMS relearn. If you’re not comfortable with tire work, have a tire shop do it.
Does this sensor work with aftermarket TPMS scan tools?
Yes. The BL-ST-035 uses standard 433MHz TPMS protocols compatible with most universal tools like Autel, Bartec, and ATEQ. However, its pre-programmed ID means you generally don’t need to reprogram it—just trigger it to pair.
My TALAGON has a TPMS warning light after installing new sensors. What went wrong?
Usually this means the sensors haven’t been synced to the vehicle. Perform a relearn procedure as described in your owner’s manual. If the light stays on, verify the sensor part number matches your original OE number—using the wrong sensor will cause the system to ignore the signal.
How long do BH-Sens TPMS sensors typically last?
The battery inside these sensors is rated for 5–7 years of normal use. Battery life depends on driving conditions and temperature extremes. If your sensor is over 6 years old and the TPMS light is intermittent, it’s likely time for replacement.
