I took my truck to the dealership, I told them what was happening and they did a re-calibration of the sensors, took maybe 30 min. All is good now.

There IS a sensor on these, it’s not just calculated by driving style. They use resistance wires built into pads that the truck reads. I have heard others saying the system doesn’t seem to be all that

Wow. A sensor? I stand corrected. That is crazy. Maybe that is why the calipers are bigger on the T1s? I am sure everything will be twice as expensive to replace. I would rather have adjustable

Just examine them like a normal human would and turn off that stupid function. I would think people do a proper inspection of their vehicle from time to time, rather than waiting for electronic system

Another perfect example of the half-baked gimmicks GM is putting into these vehicles.

Because they dont know how to read/want to get warranty work out of the way so they can do work that actually earns them money? Its not a dealer issue its an industry issue. Funny thing is, my buddy had the same thing except they DID reset his pad life when they shouldnt have per the tsb as he had more than 6000 miles

Sounds weird after you calculate it and have tracked it....thanks?

I have a 2019 Silverado LTZ - about 6 weeks old. Mine is right there with ShamrockShooter. 10% for every 1000 miles (front); about 5% rear. Front would be out at 10K miles. I'm at 5,200 now; took it in for first oil change today and asked. They said "they're supposed to be working on a fix" but didn't offer any solution at this time.

Brought mine back in and got it recalibrated, this time it worked...took about a hour.

It's well documented already that this is a known software issue. For the people posting the "me too" posts, just read up.

 

Take it back to the dealer and they will fix for free.

 

Provide the TSB referenced several times in this thread as it doesn't seem like the dealers themselves are very good at searching for this issue if they weren't already made aware.

 

I had mine addressed months ago and I'm still sitting at 96/98 as expected.

I set an appointment for the seatbelt recall and also the brake % issue. I was told my truck is fine and there isn’t an issue (I take it in next Friday I was just scheduling). I’m sorry but 30% at 5200 miles is not ok [emoji2361]

Called and spoke to the advisor after work. He said the bulletin is for a Cadillac and no longer good for the silverados [emoji2361]also started mentioning they would need to check the pad thickness and such to make sure there weren’t any other issues. I was like if they have to do that just leave the thing alone

Soon I won’t have any pad left [emoji23]

He's incorrect. There are a handful of TSB mentioned here. I believe one of them was for Cadillac only.

 

I'm sorry you have a bad dealer/advisor :-(

Well he texted me back and they found it. Only applies to certain vins/plant builds supposedly

It’s going ok next Friday for the seatbelt recall figured I’d get this taken care of

Seems awfully coincidental it has all of the exact symptoms wouldn't you say?

It’s one of those things that was never checked maybe during break in the pads wear more. We lived for years without it, personally I will monitor mine but not freak out it’s kinda like the OLM nice to have but is it accurate.

Case in point on my Camaro in 976 miles on the current oil change my OLM was at 29% this spring when I did the oil change. Head scratcher as the oil looked real good still visually (car only has 1400 miles total). No idea why it dropped so much but I’m not worried about it

The OLM drops over time as well as with mileage

I need to get mine done I’m at 5,000 miles and 43% pad life not as bad as some I’ve seen on here. I’m gonna get it done when I take it in for the seatbelt recall

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.
