Had the trailer tire sensors installed in my travel trailer. Went into the trailer app to setup the trailer TPMS. I have tpms tool.

 

First tire honked, second tire wouldn't.

 

Now I get a message in the dash to service Trailer TPMS system and it won't let me start the learn procedure again.

 

Anyone else get this error?

 

Also tip, make sure all the tpms sensors are pointed towards the truck when you mount the tires and put them on. I couldn't get any of them to learn till I moved the trailer so the valve stem was pointed towards the trailer. I got the first one to learn but when you put it in drive to rotate the other valve stem towards the truck it exits out of the learn procedure

Got it to finally work. Had to delete Trailer profile and create a new one. Used my $20 tpms tool off Amazon...

Shows tire temp and pressure which is nice.75892f69bd0c6faebee8d0effa9dbff5.jpg

Glad you got it work
My tire guy told me to program the sensors before he installs them I have four tires on my trailer I’ll just have to make sure that I marked them properly

I was going to do that too, but the Trailer app setup says they have to be installed first so I went that route. Maybe it doesn't matter. Let me know how you make out

The more i think of it, I would check the trailer app. You have to create a profile in the trailer app, then hit program tpms and walk around to every tire with the tool. So unless your tire guy is going to do that with the tpms sensors by themselves I don't see how it would work.

Gotcha. Yeah I think I saw the gm dealers actually have a special tool to program them without the trailer. Did you get it to work?

Which TPMS tool did you buy?
This one. It's like $15 on Amazon. It worked on my 16 z71 and it works on my 19 as well and did the Trailer tires.044a0e9f5a2c77d4ebe54363a9b948c8.jpg

Thank you!  Ordered!
Make sure you use a brand new fresh battery. And hold the tool there for a while until the horn honks. The trailer tires seemed to take a good 15 seconds before it would honk the horn

    • I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here. 
    • My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
    • Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken. 
    • Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
