Why Escalade Owners Need to Verify Before Buying
Many Escalade owners assume any 433MHz sensor will plug and play. That’s a costly mistake. GM uses multiple TPMS frequencies across model years, and even within the same year, Escalade variants (e.g., standard vs. ESV) may use different sensor part numbers. The ESCALADE typically requires a 315MHz sensor for models built before 2014, but some late-model Escalades (2015+) shifted to 433MHz systems. You cannot rely on the frequency alone—you need to confirm sensor ID compatibility and relearn procedure.

| 4260702060 | Toyota, Lexus | Used on RAV4, Camry, Highlander |
| 4260702070 | Toyota, Lexus | Late-model compatibility |
| 4260702080 | Toyota, Lexus | 2013-2018 |
| 4260702090 | Toyota, Lexus | 2014+ |
| 4260706070 | Toyota | Tundra, Sequoia |
| 426070R030 | Toyota | Replacement part |
| 4260748020 | Subaru | Outback, Legacy |
| 4260748070 | Subaru | Forester, Crosstrek |
| 4260753040 | Subaru | 2010-2014 |
| 4260778020 | Subaru | 2015+ |
For Escalade: This sensor is not a direct OEM cross-reference. It will only work if your Escalade uses a 433MHz TPMS system and supports third-party sensor programming. Most Escalade models from 2007-2014 use 315MHz sensors (GM OEM #15268606 or similar). Starting around 2015, some Escalade trims transitioned to 433MHz, but you must verify.
How to Verify Fitment for Your Escalade
Follow these steps—don’t skip any:
- Check your current sensor frequency: Remove a wheel and read the frequency stamped on the sensor body. If it says 315MHz, the BL-ST-014 will not work. If it says 433MHz, proceed.
- Cross-reference your OE number: Look at your factory sensor’s part number (usually on a sticker). Compare it to the OE list above. If your number is not listed, the sensor likely uses a different internal protocol.
- Confirm the relearn method: GM vehicles use a specific TPMS relearn procedure (often triggered by a magnet on the valve stem or a scan tool). The BL-ST-014 must be compatible with your vehicle’s relearn sequence. Check your owner’s manual or a shop manual.
- Use a TPMS programming tool: If you have access to a tool like an Autel or Bartec, try programming the sensor with your Escalade’s vehicle profile before final installation. If it accepts the ID, you’re good.
Recommended Part
For Escalade owners who have confirmed 433MHz compatibility, the BL-ST-014 | BH-Sens 433MHz TPMS Tire Pressure Sensor | Fits Lexus, Subaru, Toyota | OE# 28103CC010, 4260702060, 4260702070 offers a reliable aftermarket option at a fraction of OEM cost. It’s a dual-programmable sensor (can be copied from existing IDs) and works with most relearn tools. If your Escalade uses 315MHz, look for a BH-Sens 315MHz variant instead.
FAQ
Can I install the BL-ST-014 on a 2008 Escalade?
No. The 2008 Escalade uses a 315MHz TPMS system. This sensor operates at 433MHz and will not communicate with your vehicle’s receiver.
Will the BH-Sens sensor work on my 2016 Escalade ESV?
Possibly, but only if your specific ESV came with 433MHz sensors. Check your existing sensor’s frequency stamp. Many 2016 Escalades still used 315MHz. Do not assume based on model year alone.
How do I program the BL-ST-014 to my Escalade?
You need a compatible TPMS programming tool (e.g., Autel TS601, Bartec Tech400). Clamp the sensor into the tool, select “Copy ID” from your old sensor, then mount the new sensor. After installation, perform the vehicle’s relearn procedure (usually a magnet sweep or drive sequence).
What if my Escalade’s TPMS light stays on after installing this sensor?
The sensor may not be transmitting a recognized ID, or the relearn procedure was not completed correctly. Double-check that the sensor frequency matches your vehicle. If everything matches, have a shop verify the sensor ID is saved to the ECU with a diagnostic scan tool.
