Problem is with the new ones all of my other ones never had a problem with the same trailer.

Thank you

I pulled my small camper for the first time today with 2019 Denali and saw multiple issues.  I have pulled the same camper with my Honda Pilot without issue!!!!   I have an aftermarket electric brake on the Honda.

 

On my Denali I saw these things:

-The Furrion rear camera has no signal

-Electric brakes to the trailer are not working.  Truck says they are not connected.

-When the truck was connected to the truck but totally turned off I saw the lights (LED) on the outside flickering every once in a while.  I unplugged the truck overnight so I didn’t have melted pile of goo in my driveway in the morning.  

 

Could these all be related to the same issue?  I’m struggling with first time connection to the Denali vs. where there’s smoke (camera issue) there is fire.  Just don’t want it to be my camper.

 

Anybody else seeing anything besides the camera issue?

@2019DenaliRed Read back thru this thread.  Your Denali is very likely using the same new  Trailer Control module that is being used in 2019 and greater GM trucks.

 

Regarding "The Furrion rear camera has no signal"::::    if your camera is powered by the trailer running lights circuit - then you need to put one of these power adapters in-line just before the camera: ASA Power adapter to fix issues with GM's new smart trailering app/functions.   This fixes GM's use of PWM on the trailer running lights circuit.

 

Regarding "then the truck was connected to the truck but totally turned off I saw the lights (LED) on the outside flickering every once in a while":::    it is supposed to do this.  This is done in their new smart trailering functions to be able to detect the theft of the  trailer when the vehicle is off.

Regardging "-Electric brakes to the trailer are not working.  Truck says they are not connected." -   dunno..

Appreciate it @duke3k  This is great info.

 

Once the ASA power adapter is installed for the camera issues what happens if you connect up a non-2019 GM truck?  Still work?

Yup- that's what I ordered!  Thank You.

 

If this adapter doesn't work, I think I'll put the trailer running light wires on a switched relay with power from the trailer battery. 

 

This will be much simpler though.

 

Thanks again!

I installed the ASA filter from Amazon today and glad to say it's working great.  I did have to trim down the length of the solution as the limiting factor is how much wiring you can stuff into the cavity of the camera. At least in my situation I couldn't stuff the extra wires back into the RV, so it has to be gathered and put into that camera cavity.  So I cut down the harness that I bought on Amazon from ASA probably down to half, including shaving away some of the 'shrink wrap' around the circuit board that has the magic to filter out the bad stuff and make the camera work again.  I'm very happy with the outcome.  Reach out to me if you have questions and I will try to answer them.

Figured out my electric brake issue.  I believe after I added some anti-corrosion1 grease/lubricant it fixed things.

My Haloview adapter just arrived from China!

20191106_182532.jpgHi

Hi Ezekiel2517,I have never installed a Voyager camera could you please tell me where this adapter would be connected.As I have a 2019 LZT 4x4 Silverado I would like to do it myself if I can access the connection point.Any info would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks Edward

P.S.I have a 2019 Lance Trailer 1995 model

Tbone55, that "Haloview Power Booster and Filter" would be connected to the camera's power cable and the connection on the trailer where the camera is mounted.  Basically, it will go in-between the camera's power plug and trailer's camera mount power plug. You may need to secure/adhere the small booster on the external wall of your trailer.

 

On a side note, there have been other fixed at the main trailer plug on the vehicle and the trailer's 7-pin connector.  Overall, the problems lies with GM's usage of PWM (talked about earlier in the forum), which caused the camera to drop power. PWM is a good and more advance design for safety and reporting to the vehicle's computer(s); but, with these cheaper chinese-made cameras the PWM system wasn't designed for their compatibility. I believe future camera designs may take this into consideration as technology advances more. I make this comment since I'm an engineer for some government applications, but not for automotive. The concept can still scientifically apply.

 

Hope this helps.

Is there an adapter for the GMC?  Camera works perfectly when powered inside vehicle from adapter.  Trailer is pre-wired for Furrion but cameras will not pair.  I have the side monitors as well, same story. 2019 GMC Sierra 1500

does this apply to just the 1500s or to the 2500 and 3500s also?  I have a 19 2500 and ordered cameras for my trailer that will be here this week, if its going to be a problem I would rather get the fix on its way...  thanks anyone have this issue with a 2500?

Got my harness today from Amazon to use with my Furrion camera. Looks like there is a lot of excess on the harness. Like others have suggested, I will trim off about two inches on each side to ensure it all can fit in the cavity behind the camera on my rig. Fingers crossed!

My wireless Furrion camera has worked great on my last two camping trips with the above power filter on my 2019 GMC Sierra!

@*Tim* @ice_nyne Do you have the link to that power filter? I can find it on Amazon or Furrion’s page? I just switched from a 2021 Ford F-150 (camera worked great) to a 2021 GMC 2500 AT4 and my Furrion camera no longer works. Thanks!

Yes, I just bought a 2021 GMC Denali 1 ton with the Smart Trailering on it. We just bought a 5th wheel and put Furrion Cameras on it and the same thing happened. I called Furrion when I ran my generator and put a device  i use to check the trailer lights by connecting it to the 7 pin connector and what do you know all the cameras came on so I figured it can't be the cameras or the trailer. I came on line and asked the question and this site popped up! I was glad to find out the problem but, they told me that they have an adapter for 2020 GMC but are still working on 2021, so I'm out of luck for now unless someone knows any other company or way to connect.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
