Understanding the BL-ST-087 Sensor
The BH-Sens BL-ST-087 is a pre-programmed, clamp-in TPMS sensor operating at 433MHz. It is a direct replacement for GM OE part number 26670584. While it covers Buick and Chevrolet vehicles broadly, its dedicated fitment list includes 9 specific vehicle applications — not every model under those brands.
VARIO Fitment Table
Below are the confirmed VARIO applications for this sensor. Always double-check your vehicle’s build date and existing sensor part number.
| Vehicle Model | Compatible Years | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Buick Enclave | 2008–2012 | Check driver door jamb for tire pressure label |
| Buick LaCrosse | 2010–2016 | 433MHz only; 315MHz not supported |
| Buick Lucerne | 2007–2011 | Verify sensor ID matches before install |
| Buick Regal | 2011–2016 | Some 2012 models may use 315MHz |
| Chevrolet Camaro | 2010–2015 | Includes SS and V6 trims |
| Chevrolet Cruze | 2011–2015 | Check if your Cruze has the GM high-line TPMS |
| Chevrolet Equinox | 2010–2012 | Also fits Terrain (same platform) |
| Chevrolet Impala | 2007–2013 | Not for 2014+ Impala (uses different sensor) |
| Chevrolet Malibu | 2008–2012 | Pre-2013 Malibu only |
How to Verify Fitment Before Buying
Step 1: Check Your Current Sensor
Remove the tire and read the part number printed on the sensor body. If it matches 26670584 (or a superseded number like 26670583), the BL-ST-087 is a direct swap.
Step 2: Confirm Frequency
Most VARIO vehicles use 433MHz, but some early models or later-year revisions use 315MHz. Look for a label on the sensor or use a TPMS tool to read the frequency.
Step 3: Cross-Reference Your VIN
Use your VIN to check the original equipment sensor part number via a dealer parts catalog or a reputable online database. If the OE number matches, the sensor will fit.
Step 4: Check Tire Size and Valve Stem
The BL-ST-087 is a clamp-in sensor. It works with standard rubber valve stems but may require a metal stem for high-pressure applications (e.g., heavy-duty trucks). Check your current valve stem type.
Common Compatibility Pitfalls
- Year overlap: Some models (like the 2012 Buick Regal) had a mid-year change from 433MHz to 315MHz. Always verify frequency.
- Trim levels: Lower trims may use a different sensor protocol. The BL-ST-087 is designed for the GM high-line TPMS system.
- Relearn procedure: After installation, most GM vehicles require a TPMS relearn using a tool or by following the in-dash menu. This sensor is pre-programmed, so no cloning is needed.

FAQ
Does the BL-ST-087 work on a 2014 Chevrolet Impala?
No. The 2014+ Impala uses a different sensor (typically 315MHz or a newer protocol). This sensor covers only 2007–2013 Impala models.
Can I install this sensor myself without special tools?
Yes, if you have a tire machine and a torque wrench. The sensor clamps into the wheel with a specific torque (usually around 35 in-lbs). You will also need a TPMS relearn tool to sync the sensor to your vehicle’s computer.
What if my vehicle isn’t listed in the fitment table?
Contact the seller with your VIN and current sensor part number. Many aftermarket sensors have broader coverage than published lists, but you must verify frequency and protocol.
Is the BL-ST-087 a direct replacement for the original GM sensor?
Yes. It is a direct OE replacement for GM part number 26670584. The housing, seal, and electronics match the original specifications.
