So I’m having the same problem. Ordered set of rims and tires off custom offset. Getting the service force monitor system. I bought the relearn tool to do it myself and having no luck. They said they use Uni-Sensor branded TPMS

 

anybody know what tool I should try next

Digging this thread up from the dead. Long story short. Installed a leveling kit on my 2019 Trail Boss and new wheels and tires. Bought a new set of TPMS sensor to make install easier. The factory sensors in my truck are 433mhz and that is what I replaced them with. Bought the learn tool and get them programmed just fine for about 10 miles then one sensor (usually the left/rear) will go blank. I work at an Mercedes-Benz dealership and some of the techs here think it is because of the leveling kit and different wheel/tire size. I went with 17" wheels and 315/70- 17 tires. I don't think it's the physical relation to the TPMS module myself. 

 

Any ideas?

Perhaps a sensor with a bad battery?

Maybe. Odd thing happened last night. They were all working when I left work and right around the 10 mile mark the "Service TPMS" message came up. When I checked them, the two rear sensors were blank. Never happened with two before. I think I am going to just start all over with a fresh set and see how that works.

 Did installing new set of sensors end up working for you?  I had the dealer install new tires for mine back in January and have been dealing with intermittent TPMS messages ever since.  The dealer just replaced the TPMS but it's still happening.  They can't seem to figure it out.  It sounds like I might just need to get my own new TPMS sensor set and have a different dealer try installing them.

I haven't gotten around to it yet. It's so odd. Seems like when I go above 70 MPH is when it (typically the left rear) gets unlinked.

I was able to track down the root cause of the issue.  It looks like it was my Viofo A129 dash cam that was interfering with the TPMS receiver signal.  There's another thread on this site that goes into details about this interference and a proposed solution that I'll have to try out.

Well, I don't have a dashcam, so I guess I'm still fugged.

I put 2024 3500HD Denali wheels and tires (2 miles takeoffs) on my  2020 3500 HD Denali, and my tpi system won't read them. Tire shop said they were different frequency and won't connect, I have to unmount them and put new sensors that my 2020 was compatible. Truth or fiction, and is there a workaround?

Yes, they changed sensor frequency and I know on the 1500's they also made them so they self-register with the 22.5 refresh. I swear GM just likes to mess with people. They keep switching between 315mhz and 433mhz every few years. There are aftermarket sensors that are dual frequency.

I am having a similar very frustrating issue.  I have a 2021 ZR2.  I did a 5 tire rotation and had Discount Tire add a TPMS sensor to the spare.  They told me their tool will not reset it. Now the left rear tire shows no reading for pressure.  The other three are fine and sense changes.  So I put it in learn mode, let 10+ lbs of air out of the RF, pump it back up, but horn never beeps.  I have driven at high speeds for many miles. So I buy the reset tool.  Not the cheap $8 one.  I buy the ATEQ VT15 for like $60.  I put it truck in learn mode.  I start at left front.  It has a good sensor, but it will not respond to the reset tool.  Tired all four tires.  No response.  Stuck. I used my Topdon full scan tool and it saw no problems with the TPMS system.

Is the old spare (tire with added sensor) the one having issues? Some TPMS sensors need to be activated on the bench before being installed and the tire mounted. After it's activated you can use a tool to set the location. I bought a sensor at NAPA and the told me it was a self activated sensor (drive above 40mph to activate). it wasn't. I got them to take it back with some heated conversation with the manager. It's also possible it not the correct frequency for your truck.

 

Edit -> The 10psi thing hasn't worked for years.

They may have given you the sensor for the refresh trucks. 

 

Sensors (oem) in a set of rims I had for winter wheels on my '21, would not work on the '23 -- so new sensors installed.

 

I realize this doesn't mean the new sensors won't work with the pre-refresh trucks -- but since what is installed isn't working that might be the issued.

 

 

Had it done at my GM dealer.

They have aftermarket 'will work with many vehicles' sensors they like to use.

We checked and found out the GM ones for the refresh truck were cheaper than the aftermarket that they had. 

Yes, the parts person I was working with was surprised too.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      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.
