Understanding the BL-ST-087 TPMS Sensor
The BL-ST-087 (SKU: BL-ST-087) is a pre-programmed, clamp-in TPMS sensor from BH-Sens (Baolong Technology). It operates at 433MHz and is designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment sensor with OE# 26670584. This sensor is pre-paired out of the box—no additional programming tool is required for most compatible vehicles, including the EQUINOX PLUS.
Which EQUINOX PLUS Models Are Compatible?
The BL-ST-087 is engineered for the Chevrolet EQUINOX PLUS primarily from model years 2020 through 2023. However, not every EQUINOX PLUS trim uses the same sensor. Below is a general fitment table based on known OE applications:
| Vehicle Model | Model Year Range | Frequency | Sensor Type | OE Number |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chevrolet EQUINOX PLUS | 2020–2023 | 433MHz | Clamp-in | 26670584 |
| Chevrolet Equinox (non-PLUS) | 2018–2021 | 433MHz | Clamp-in | 26670584 |
| Buick Envision | 2020–2023 | 433MHz | Clamp-in | 26670584 |
| Buick Encore GX | 2021–2023 | 433MHz | Clamp-in | 26670584 |
| Chevrolet Traverse | 2019–2022 | 433MHz | Clamp-in | 26670584 |
| Chevrolet Blazer | 2019–2023 | 433MHz | Clamp-in | 26670584 |
Note: This table covers the most common matches. The BL-ST-087 fits 9 total OE applications across Buick and Chevrolet. Always verify your vehicle’s specific OE sensor number before ordering.
How to Verify Fitment Before You Buy
Step 1: Check Your Current Sensor’s Part Number
Remove the tire and valve stem assembly, then read the part number printed on the sensor body. If it reads 26670584, the BL-ST-087 is a direct swap. If the number differs, still check—many GM sensors share cross-compatibility.
Step 2: Confirm Frequency and Valve Type
- Frequency: Only vehicles using 433MHz TPMS sensors are compatible. If your EQUINOX PLUS uses 315MHz (older models), the BL-ST-087 will not work.
- Valve Type: This is a clamp-in sensor. If your vehicle uses snap-in sensors (common on some GM models before 2018), it won’t fit without replacing the valve stem assembly.
Step 3: Use the Vehicle’s VIN
For absolute certainty, input your EQUINOX PLUS’s VIN into a parts lookup tool at risensauto.com. This cross-references your vehicle’s exact build date and options against the BL-ST-087’s OE fitment list.
Step 4: Check Model Year Overlaps
The EQUINOX PLUS was introduced in select markets around 2020. If your vehicle is a 2020 model, double-check the production date—early 2020 builds may still use the prior-generation 315MHz sensor. Late 2020 and later use 433MHz.
Common Fitment Mistakes to Avoid
- Assuming all Equinox models use the same sensor: The standard Chevrolet Equinox (non-PLUS) from 2018–2021 also uses OE# 26670584, but the EQUINOX PLUS’s sensor location and programming may differ. Always match by OE number, not by model name alone.
- Mixing frequencies: Never install a 433MHz sensor on a 315MHz system—it will not communicate with the vehicle’s TPMS module.
- Ignoring valve stem condition: The BL-ST-087 includes a new valve stem. If your existing valve stem is corroded or damaged, replace it during installation.

FAQ
Will the BL-ST-087 fit my 2024 EQUINOX PLUS?
The BL-ST-087 is confirmed for 2020–2023 models. For 2024 or newer EQUINOX PLUS, verify your sensor’s OE number first. GM may have updated the TPMS system—use your VIN to check.
Do I need a TPMS tool to program the BL-ST-087?
No. The BL-ST-087 comes pre-programmed with OE# 26670584 and is auto-learned by most GM vehicles. In rare cases, you may need to drive the vehicle above 15 mph for 10–20 minutes to complete the auto-learn process.
Can I use the BL-ST-087 on a Buick Envision?
Yes. The BL-ST-087 fits Buick Envision models from 2020–2023 that use OE# 26670584. It is listed for 9 Buick and Chevrolet applications total.
How do I know if my EQUINOX PLUS uses 433MHz or 315MHz sensors?
Check the sensor part number (if visible) or look up your vehicle’s TPMS frequency by VIN. As a rule of thumb: 2019 and older GM vehicles often use 315MHz, while 2020+ models (including EQUINOX PLUS) typically use 433MHz.
