Service Tire Pressure System

I got that error msg today in the middle of a thunder storm.

I do not have a code reader and do not have access to one.

I noted that I do not have a pressure reading from the Driver side rear.

I am guessing that the sensor in that tire has failed, is that the correct guess?

Any actions I can take to verify my suspicions ?

The msg is in the truck below and it is mechanically stock.

Does this fault require a GM dealer visit to reprogram the computer or can any shop replace the sensor and the error will correct itself or will my truck need to phone home at a GM dealer to be reprogrammed?

BTW tire pressure is good checked with a manual tire pressure guage.

Thanks in advance

Have you pulled the tire off for any reason? Tire rotation, flat tire...

It may need to be reprogrammed back to the truck. You can do it the hard way. I believe its in the owners manual about tire rotations and relearning sensors, or you can take it to the dealer. Not sure if any aftermarket shops can fix.

Got error while driving on highway - no big bumps / pot holes that I have hit.

To answer your questions - have not moved , removed tire since last oil change 3000 miles ago, I rotate tires each oil change at 5K intervals

and tire has proper inflation pressure as noted.

Update:

I did nothing to the truck and or tire.

On Monday drove the truck to work; no warning lamp and no message and I am getting a reading on the dash for all 4 tires.

 

So is there a way water/rain could affect the sensor and or the computer that picks up the TPMS signals ?

Update to the update

 

My sensor acted up again in the rain today.

So today my truck paid a visit to the general

DX of faulty sensor in the tire.

$175.00 for repair and reprogramming the truck.

So now I hope the problem has been solved. I hope.frown.gif

    • Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.
    • This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.  
    • 2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.  
    • Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
