Understanding TPMS Compatibility for the Nissan Kicks
The Nissan Kicks (2018–present) uses a direct TPMS system where each wheel has a sensor that transmits pressure and temperature data to the vehicle’s ECU. When a sensor fails – whether due to dead battery, physical damage, or corrosion – you need a replacement that matches three core specs:
- Frequency – Most Kicks models use 433 MHz. Some early or market-specific variants may use 315 MHz, so always verify first.
- Valve type – The Kicks generally uses a clamp‑in (metal stem) sensor, but aftermarket replacements may also be listed as “P” (programmable) or “pre‑programmed”. The BL‑ST‑066 is clamp‑in and programmable, meaning it can be cloned or programmed with the original sensor’s ID.
- OE part number – Removing the original sensor and reading the numbers stamped on the body (e.g., 407002GL0A) is the fastest way to zero in on a correct replacement.
What to Check Before Ordering
1. Frequency – 315 MHz or 433 MHz?
A frequency mismatch will cause the vehicle to never detect the sensor. For a Nissan Kicks, 433 MHz is the most common. If your vehicle is a non‑US market version or a very early 2018 model, confirm by checking your owner’s manual or with a local dealer.
2. OE Number Cross‑Reference
The most reliable method is matching the OE number. The BL-ST-066 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Fengon, Ineos, Infiniti, Mitsubishi, Nammi & 4 More | OE# 3641050RD01, 407002GL0A, 407002GN0A supports these OE part numbers:
| OE Number | Notes |
|---|---|
| 3641050RD01 | Common on some Nissan/Infiniti models |
| 407002GL0A | Frequently used on Infiniti QX60 / Pathfinder |
| 407002GN0A | Similar to above, check suffix differences |
| 407002GX0A | |
| 407002JD0A | |
| 407003VU0A | |
| 407004CB0A | |
| 407004CB0B | |
| 407005663R | |
| 407006UA0A |
If your original sensor’s number appears in this list, the BL‑ST‑066 is a direct fit. If not, you can still use it as a programmable sensor – you just need a TPMS tool to copy the ID from your old sensor.
3. Valve Type – Clamp‑in vs. Snap‑in
Kicks OEM sensors are clamp‑in (metal stem with a hex nut). The BL‑ST‑066 is clamp‑in, which matches the factory design. Snap‑in sensors (rubber stem) are sometimes used in other Nissan models, but they won’t seat correctly in a Kicks wheel.
4. Programmable or Pre‑programmed?
Some aftermarket sensors come pre‑programmed with a specific ID – you cannot change it. The BL‑ST‑066 is programmable, meaning you can either:
- Clone the ID from your old sensor (if it still works).
- Enter the ID manually using a TPMS tool.
- Use the auto‑learn function on the vehicle after installation (most Nissan Kicks models require a TPMS relearn procedure).
B2B Bulk Buying Notes
If you are purchasing multiple sensors for a fleet of Kicks vehicles or for resale, keep these points in mind:
Batch Consistency: Sensors from the same production batch may have slightly different firmware versions. Always request a single sample first to test fitment and programming on a known Kicks VIN. Once validated, order the balance.
OE Number Variability: Nissan Kicks may have different sensor part numbers depending on the model year and trim (e.g., standard vs. sport). A sensor that fits a 2019 might not work with a 2021 without a programming step. Maintain a cross‑reference list for your customers’ VINs.
Packaging & Labeling: For resale, ensure sensors come individually boxed with clear labels showing frequency, OE numbers, and brand. The BL‑ST‑066 (BH‑Sens) is factory‑packed, but verify with your supplier whether bulk packaging (without retail boxes) is acceptable.
Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ): Direct‑from‑China suppliers often have MOQs of 10–50 pieces per SKU. If you need fewer, look for distributors that stock the BL‑ST‑066 and can break quantities.
Recommended Part for Nissan Kicks
For most Nissan Kicks models using 433 MHz and a clamp‑in valve, the BL-ST-066 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Fengon, Ineos, Infiniti, Mitsubishi, Nammi & 4 More | OE# 3641050RD01, 407002GL0A, 407002GN0A (BL‑ST‑066) is a solid choice. It covers multiple OE numbers, is programmable, and is manufactured by BH‑Sens (Baolong Technology), an OE‑level supplier. Always verify your original sensor’s part number before ordering, and if in doubt, use a TPMS tool to confirm frequency and ID.
FAQ
Can I use a 315 MHz sensor on a Nissan Kicks that originally had 433 MHz?
No. The vehicle’s receiver module is tuned to a specific frequency. Installing a 315 MHz sensor will not be detected. Stick with the frequency stamped on your original sensor or listed in your owner’s manual.
Do I need to reprogram the sensor after installation on a Kicks?
Most Nissan Kicks models require a TPMS relearn procedure after sensor replacement. This can be done with an aftermarket TPMS tool or by driving the vehicle at 15 mph for 10–20 minutes (if the auto‑learn feature is enabled). Check your service manual for the exact method.
How long do BH‑Sens TPMS sensors typically last?
BH‑Sens sensors are designed for a battery life of 5–7 years under normal driving conditions. Actual lifespan depends on ambient temperature, driving habits, and the number of pressure readings per minute. The BL‑ST‑066 uses a sealed lithium battery and is not serviceable – replacement is required when the battery dies.
What if my OE number is not in the list above?
The BL‑ST‑066 is programmable. You can clone the ID from your original sensor if it still functions, or use a TPMS tool to input the ID manually. If the old sensor is completely dead and you don’t have the ID, you may need a dealer or advanced tool to extract it from the vehicle’s ECU.
