Just curious did anyone with a 2020 learn their trailer TPMS yet and did the horn honk to let you know it worked?

 

I learned mine yesterday and kept waiting and waiting and push the learn tool button and no honk. I go to look in the dash and it says it left tire was good but it didn't honk. Went and did the right side trailer tire same thing did not honk but it did learn the right tire too on the first try.

 

On my 19 it would honk at you to let you know it worked but my 20 doesn't seem to honk. Not a big deal but just lettin y'all know so you aren't standing there cussing at you trailer tires thinking your tpms are dead.

Is a TPMS learning tool necessary to set up the TPMS on a trailer?
I think you can do it by letting 10 psi out of each tire too. But the tool is less than $20 on Amazon so way easier

Works on the truck tires too. Don't let the service place charge extra to relearn the tpms on tire rotation s

I just got my 5th wheels tpms installed and had the same issue. No honking or lights blinking like the instructions state, but it did learn each tire. Just a pain to go to the trick to check... I would love to know what I did wrong.

Is that the correct tool for the 2019/20 new body trucks with the 433 NHS sensors. Info on Amazon and other websites is all over the place as to if they work on our trucks or not.

It works. That's the tool I have.

I did my new travel trailer today. Still same issue no horn honk. Not a big deal but I'm pretty sure my 19 honked and now my 20 doesn't. Also found it would not work at camper place but when I got home they learned right away. Think Maybe driving it a little might wake up the sensors or something. Twice now it would not learn at first then worked fine after moving the camper a mile or so.

I did mine yesterday with letting pressure out, It gives you 2 mins to cover all four so best to have valve caps off before you start. It ask what the pressure should be in them then you hit start and my horn honks twice, went to driver side front (4 tires) the drivers side back then passenger side back and passenger side front. just took small blade screwdriver and depress the valve and let air out till it honks then move on to next, once the last on is done it will honk twice . the refill to spects that you entered as the correct pressure it should have. Menu on the screen not lay out as well as it could be.

Is yours a 19 or a 20?

Note that the manual says 10 seconds, rather than 10 psi if using the manual method. 

Pressure can be increased of decreased.

 

Manual Method:

Without the tool, the air pressure can be increased or decreased in each tire for 10 seconds. Do not exceed the maximum inflation pressure found on the tire sidewalls.

Make sure to re-adjust tire pressure to the recommended level when the process is complete.

    • tldr; Shade tree mechanic stumped by variable displacement AC compressor.   Not Silverado related, but for my 2000 Camaro SS. I've never really used the AC since acquiring the car a good handful of years ago. I plan to take it on a trip this summer so I wanted to make sure the AC was in good shape. On an 73 degree day in the shop with the car idling I set the AC on "Max", temp set to cold, and fan on hi. The compressor turned on and air turned nice and cold.   I let it run for several minutes but noticed the compressor never cycled off. The engine was up to temperature enough that it began cycling the cooling fans on high. I had a set of manifold gauges hooked up and it was consistently at about 25 psi on the low side and between 200 and 225 psi (warm engine) on the high side. Per temperature charts, the low side is low (should be 30-35) and the high side is a little high (up to 170 per chart). I read the low pressure as potentially being under-charged underscored by a continually running compressor This was also underscored by temp readings of mid-20 degrees at the vents. Not just cold, freezing cold. Switching off the AC but leaving the HVAC fan on high produced a deluge of condensation underneath the vehicle. I was getting ice buildup on the evap core most likely.   The low reading (25psi) concerned me that the compressor wasn't switching off so I swapped out the pressure switch. No change in behavior, still ran constantly.   The AC clutch works fine as it engages/disengages with the HVAC switch on command. The compressor relay is good as I swapped it with two different known good relays just to be sure. Having eliminated that, and the pressure switch, I added refrigerant, thinking the constant run and low "low" pressure were signs of a slight undercharge. Makes sense, the car is 26 years old and it doesn't appear the AC system has ever been touched.   Adding some R134a didn't meaningfully change the low side pressure. And that's when a lightbulb flashed upstairs. While I consider the car "old", it's possibly "new" enough to have a variable displacement compressor. Did some reading and sure enough. Dangit. I don't work on these for this reason.   Adding refrigerant means the compressor will just compensate and won't really change pressures until it's severely overcharged or undercharged. But at least I wasn't getting ice/frost anymore, but instead high 30 degree temps out of the vents. That's more normal, but with variable displacement now I have no idea where my charge level is at. It's probably overcharged now. The high side even with the engine radiating serious heat was never really over about 225.   The static pressure at room temperature is dead on, before and after the charge. Both high/low equalize after some rest.   I'm thinking I'll need to take it to a shop. I want the proper charge level so I'm not working the compressor too hard. The only way to get an accurate charge is to evacuate and then re-charge with the exact amount specified for the system -- at least that's what I'm reading.   Anyone here with modern automotive AC knowledge?  
    • Mine is in the shop for the AC now. While it did get cold after a bit, it would take a while to even start to cool the air at all. Turns out the compressor was bad and cycling. 
    • I call B.S. when I first moved to Texas my first house would only cool to 80 with the Texas heat. The AC tech said it was normal at 100 degrees outside. I remodeled the house put in a new AC. I could hang meat. My cars may need recirculating to start. Once moving it switches to regular AC and I could hang meat. Living in Texas no one would put up with only 20 degrees difference. 
    • AC in home or auto only cool down 15-25 degrees from outside temp, but what will help is to put the ac in recirc mode this will recirc the Inside cabin air rather then trying to cool down the outside hot air, I always have mine in recirc mode.
    • Found the fix for this.  Untightan the bolt just below top linkage on the steering column, turn assembly left to reduce space between the two linkage rods at the steering column, tighten bolt.  Made a big improvement.
