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.
Did the manual say it would honk?

That's the way I interpreted it. Horn chirps twice at start of process and once after each sensor is complete., 2 chirps when trailer is complete. 

 

You have 2 minutes for each sensor.

 

Trailer Tire Pressure
Monitoring Operation
If equipped, the Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TTPMS) is designed to monitor the pressure of the trailer tires and warn the driver when a low pressure condition exists. TTPMS sensors for four tires are provided. The system can accommodate a trailer with up to six tires if additional sensors are purchased from the dealer. Also, the system can be paired with up to five individual trailers 

 

Prior to use, the vehicle must learn the sensors by following the learning process. See Trailering App pg 308

 

The system is compatible with trailer tires that have placard pressure values from 103 - 689 kpa (15 - 100 psi). The hole in the wheel for the tire stem must be 11.43 mm (0.453 in) in diameter. Use of the pressure sensors on a wheel with a different stem hole size could result in loss of air from the tire. 

 

Trailering App 

 

Trailer Tire Pressure Setup
If the Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TTPMS) is detected, touch the Tire Pressure Monitoring icon to set up tire pressure monitoring. 

 

Touch Yes to set up the sensors or touch No to return to the previous screen.

 

A trailer must be electrically connected to the vehicle before starting the sensor-to-vehicle learn process.

 

After selecting Start from the Learn Sensors screen, use the Tool Method or the Manual Method (described below) to learn each tire sensor, during which the current tire number will be highlighted.

 

Each sensor has a minimum of two minutes to learn, shown by a timer. 

 

After a sensor is learned, a checkmark appears next to the tire, the vehicle horn will sound, the vehicle’s brake lamps will flash, and all working trailer lamps will flash.

 

It then moves to the next sensor.

 

To cancel the process touch Stop.
The recommended tire pressure must be entered for the trailer tires.
This allows the vehicle to alert when the tire pressure is high or low.

 

TTPMS must learn the location of the installed tire sensors to show correct air pressure and temperature for each tire.

 

To set up, use one of the following options or see a tire or trailer dealer for service. 

 

The learning process must be repeated when the trailer tires are rotated or replaced. See “Editing
a Trailer Profile” later in this section for tire pressure sensor relearn information.

 

Tool Method:

A TTPMS activation tool can be purchased separately to learn the sensor locations.

 

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.

 

 

Sensor Learning Steps

 

To complete the sensor-to-vehicle  learn process:

 

1. Touch Start on the Learn Sensors screen.

The horn chirps twice and the Learning Active screen appears on the infotainment display.

 

2. Start with the driver side front trailer tire.

 

3. Activate the tool near the valve stem or adjust the air pressure of this tire until the horn chirps and all working vehicle and trailer lights flash.
The process stops without saving the sensor locations if this step takes more than two minutes. 

 

4. Move to the next tire and repeat Step 3 for each sensor.
The horn chirps twice when all sensors are completed.

 

5. Return to the vehicle to complete the setup.

Yeah something is definitely goofy with the 20s then because my horn didn't chirp and the lights didn't flash when it learned any of the 4 Tpms. I had to keep running back to the truck and looking at the screen.

Did you get the double chirp and the first timer at the start of the process?

I know I didn't. None of the process that includes honking or flashing of lights worked for me. I re-read the instructions over and over and can't find where I went wrong.

eah I have tried everything also. I get no honks at all when it starts and it doesn't learn the sensors either. I can let out air or add air for 20 seconds and it never moves off the first tire. I tried just letting out air for 10 seconds on each tire during the 2 minute learn time hoping that it would honk twice after the fourth tire or learn all 4 and I would see it on the screen. I'm at a loss. Don't know what else to do. I'm trying this on my 2020 3500.

 

 

EDIT!!!  

So I ended up finally, after three days of trying everything and ordering a relearn tool off of Amazon to get the trailer TPMS to sync to the truck. What I learned was that the truck does not honk ever, I had my Girlfriend sit in the truck to alert me. I Removed the trailer profile, and added it again. Took the trailer around the block and then started the TPMS learn again. I used the Relearn tool that I got on Amazon for 9.99. I Held the little Black antenna thing right on the sidewall where it met the rim, next to the valve stem. Took about 15 seconds to learn each tire. I could not get it to work by letting air out or putting air in. I hope this helps some people, I was at my wits end Trying to figure this out.

I just installed and learned sensors for 2 dual axel trailers today. Found a work around to the horn not honking but I think the tool on amazon would be cheaper. I had my wife sit in the truck and honk the horn when it learned each tire. I know desperate times call for desperate measures. Just a disclaimer here— I did make her sit in the passenger seat while doing the setup!

Same issue here with a 2020 2500HD - no horn at start of learning cycle or during when a TPMS sensor is recognized. Had to walk to cab each time to check the sensor was recognized.

 

I used the same learning tool from amazon as others have: linked: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072BK693N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

I used these tpms sensors:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06W55D84K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

I went through the learning process before I installed the TPMS sensors. I found they were super sensitive outside of the wheels and had to keep them well away from each other to stop the truck learning all four at once. But no issues and I didn't have to drive first to wake the sensors.

do those sensors show temperature also?

Yes, when I paired these sensors the truck detected both pressure and temperature.

Strange, I set up my tandem axle trailer and everything worked perfect on my 2020 GMC AT4. Lights flashed and horn honked on each tire, easy peasy.

I have a 20 Sierra2500HD AT4.  Mine honked to start and honked at each wheel, then did the double honk at the end.  I looked at dash and it had learned all 4 and show temp and pressure for all 4. When I pressed DONE it went back to the trailer screen and now it always says no tire information available.  When I did the learn process over again it did not honk at all.  It learned them all again with someone watching the dash. Showed all the info, DONE. Gone again. No data.

 

I have yet to tow with any tire info.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By AidenVorpagel · Posted

      hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      Update. I started chasing down my symptoms. Started first with pulling valve covers and looked at everything. Everything looked good and couldn't hear or feel anything different. Then a compression test. 240 psi or really close on each cylinder. I was worried I was a tooth off of timing. Not bad for an engine with 173,000. Granted I did put new heads on. I sprayed water around the injector area to see if I could hear a change. Nothing. I hooked up my new hp tuner which I should have done in the first place but I don't really know what I'm looking at just yet but am learning. I noticed the fuel trims were way off so that told me I have to have either a bad injector or exhaust leak. New injectors, so I did the shop vac on blower and in the tail pipe. Sprayed soapy water and found the exhaust flange on the drivers side was leaking. I didn't think it would be that considereding I pulled the heads and left the manifolds attached. I did have the transmission replaced not long ago. They must have not seated them properly but I guess I didn't notice. I put in new gaskets on both sides. Which by the way isn't a bad job but I had a hard time getting them to seal right. Took two attempts. Reset the fuel trims and the ticking is gone, engine runs smooth and acceleration has improved. Got to feel the real difference with that stage 1 cam. It's not that big of a difference but it does add a little more. It feels like how the truck should have been from the factory.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.
