2020 TPMS/trailer cameras


Recommended Posts

Posted

Another update, a buddy let me borrow some TPMS sensors that came with his 2015 1/2 ton. They arnt the same p/n that the dealer gave me but i was able to program them to the truck without any trouble. I suspect any 433 MHz sensor will work.

Can you turn them off/on separately from the headlights?  I know you can’t on my ‘17 but was just curious.

Havnt specifically tried this but i am assuming they come on with the running lights. There is no seperate switch for them. So if the headlights are on then they are on. 

 

Out of curiosity, why would you want to turn them off?

The way the person who asked to see them off/on made it seem like in my brain there was an on/off switch and I was curious why that would be.  I realized as I was asking the question what he probably meant but asked anyway.

 

i have no idea why you’d want them off while your headlights were on

Can you post a picture of your labels showing the tow & payload capacity? Block out the VIN of course.

 

Thanks.

Little hard to see but.

It's interesting how your 2500 has 50lb less GVWR than my '09 dually, but my rear axle is rated for 8200 and yours only 6600.

The trailer tire pressure sensors work awesome on my 2019 half ton!  Trying to figure out if i can add the camera ports next..!

Recived my TPMS sensors from ebay yesterday. I made sure they all sinked up and worked last night. having them installed today. One less thing to worry about while towing.

I ordered some also. Hope  to see them next week ahead of the truck. 

Did the dealer have to program and sync your truck or how did that process work? 

Thanks.

I used one of these. Really simple, the truck walks u through it.

Finally got the ebay sensors installed. Took a few tries but i eventually got them programed to the truck. Interesting note, the instructions say the truck will honk and lights will flash when sensors are learned. Mine never did so i counted to 15 and moved on to the next. I left one tire low just to see if they were reading correctly. 

Also, noted one tire reads 5 degrees higher than the rest for some reason.

One tire in the sun?

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
