Same issue just suddenly popped up on my 2019 Silverado RST.  Just the day before I showed 80%F & 90%R.  Truck has 21k mi. and vehicles has never towed a thing. Had recall completed long ago.  GM really should be shamed that this problem showed up in the first place and the recall obviously was a stop gap to later drive a $1200.00 brake job, sensor programming.  Really???  I know people who put 20k mi on in a year.  That would be an unreasonable cost of ownership.  My 2010 never had such issues and the rear brakes on that last 60k mi.!!!  Has anyone found an actual solution that doesn’t require tossing out perfectly good brakes as I don’t trust my selling dealer to be honest.

I've also had the same issue with brake pad sensors not working. Rear stopped working at low mileage ~10k kms, dealer reset and reprogrammed them according to recall then around 75k kms both front and rear stopped working again they were reading 85-90% when they stopped working and I took it in and dealer told me sensors are part of the pad and wore through due to brake wear and I need to replace pads before they will address the sensor issue. Looking at videos sensor seems to sit on the pad and not part of the pad itself. Also doesn't make sense that brake pads go from 85-90% to very low in short amount of time.

I bought a 2020 Trail Boss in June with 13,000 miles, and the service brake pad sensor warning came on at about 19,000 miles. Any update on this?

I just had my 2019 Chevy Silverado at the dealership one month ago to get a front-end alignment, tire rotation, and tire balancing. They also did a multi-point inspection. No issues were reported. Yesterday I got a “Service Brake Pad Monitor System” message. I’ve already had the “recall” service for this issue so I called the dealership to see if that message meant I needed actual brake service or if indeed it was the “Service Brake Pad Monitor System” that needed service again. The dealership told me the latter and that I needed to bring it in for service. I told them I’ve already done the recall service and asked if this would be covered again under that or would it be an out-of-pocket expense. The dealership said out-of-pocket expense. NOT TAKING IT TO THE DEALER EVER AGAIN, SELLING THE TRUCK, AND NEVER BUYING ANOTHER GM VEHICLE!

Hello

I am wondering if this issue with the brake pad monitoring system has been resolved.

I am about to purchase a 2020 2500 but the " Service Brake Pad Monitoring System" warning is on.

!20,000 KM  front and back brakes and rotors have been replaced 5X and still warning.

I have 3 other GMC / Chevy trucks. 

Do I need to switch?

The last Ford I had was a 1987....

GM customer service,

What is the solution to this?  My 2020 Sierra 1500 had a caliper hang up.  The inside pad on the driver rear wheel wore prematurely and the pad life sensor failed.  I replaced all rear pads, rotors, and pad life sensor.  I still get a "Service Brake Pad Monitor" message.  I tried to reset the brake pad monitor.  Both "Front Pads Installed" and "Rear Pads Installed" are grayed out so I cannot select that I replaced the rear pads.

Same Just happened to me-2019 Sierra 1500 SLT, 67xxx kms-Message on the DIC to "Service brake monitor system". Brake life monitor was reset at dealer when the software update was done  for that EBC recall maybe 1.5 years ago. % went from 94/95 Fr/Rear +- to the service message just last week-Jan 14/23. This truck has the Duralife rotors and I can't imagine needing a full pad/rotor job at this time. I bought the truck thinking that the Duralife brake components would stand for many kms. If just changing out the parts (pads + rotors aren't fixing this issue +, infact creating other issues, as reported-"limp mode"), then what can be done to resolve this known issue-this is a $70k truck!!

 

Help me please GM...

I have the same problem on my 2019 Silverado.  It’s a daily trifecta of “service brake pad monitor” to “Brake Failure” then limp mode.  Brakes are fine but something is triggering it.  Dealership just says $1200 to replace pads and rotors.  This 2019 has not been anything close to other Chevrolets I have owned.  It’s also sad that you have to complain to get a dealership to react rather than old fashioned customer service.  From what I’m reading, 2019’s are junk from brakes to the transmission.

I fell for this and changed my front and rear rotors & pads. I cannot seem to find front rotors that will fit my truck - 2019 Silverado RST 50k miles. Ended up putting the old rotors back on with new pads. The calipers are right on the rotors, as they were when I started. 


Now the info center is full of lights and warnings. Any clue how to get rid of all of this?  
 

 

need some help!  Very frustrated by all of this. 
 

thanks!

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Fix one problem and find another.   Truck didn't have a thermostat in it so I flushed out the system today and refilled with 50/50 Dexcool. This truck is so old (LOL) that it has a sticker under the hood alerting people to the fact that it contains such. There is also an orange supplement with the owner's manual alerting the owner that "Your vehicle is one of a number of late production 1995 General Motors vehicles that use a newly developed engine coolant in the cooling system..."   I was still a little flummoxed by what seemed like a rich condition (exhaust smell, and a puff of carbon with a punchy rev). While watching the coolant temperature and testing the thermostat with my scanner, I happened to notice the IAT (incoming air temperature) to the intake was -40F. I know the temp is below average today, but I can still feel my face, and I was wearing shorts.   D'oh!! I realized I had never plugged the IAT back in, and the airbox was out while I was doing coolant. So I paused, reinstalled the airbox and plugged in the IAT, and viola. Things cleared right up, and I watched the coolant temp climb to a reported 198 degrees on the scanner (195 thermostat) and then it dropped to 194 (open) and then back up to 198 and held. Let it cool, came back, checked the coolant level and was satisifed.   Victory lap?   It needed more than the couple of gallons of gas I put in it from almost bone dry, so I ran it up to the gas station. It had earned it, or, at least I was pretty certain I wouldn't be draining or removing the tank anytime soon.   CEL popped on just as I was cruising a nice steady 40mph, just after coasting down a slight downhill curve.. Of course, it did, because, why let me enjoy not having dash emojis for a little while.   I just happened to have the scanner plugged in. I don't text and drive but I might scan and drive. Don't tell the police.   P0401, EGR flow insufficient.    Well, hello, EGR... ...my old friend! Welcome to the party, now that the engine reaches the factory-programmed operating temperature. I'm sure it was gagging on hostile, rich exhaust and carbon this whole time so I'll take it off and look again.   At least it's easily accessible, and worst case, about $65 to replace.   To keep, or to sell... Hmm. I want it running correctly either way. It's easier to sell when there are no fault codes.   It needs tires (they're aged out and cracking)   It could probably use an oil pan seal, or maybe the timing cover gasket/ junction with the pan needs redone because I've got an issue there that leaves a drop of oil on the floor.   If I do tires I'm sure they'll say the ball joints could use freshening, and, and, and, and.... At some point I'll have to stop. I can't (shouldn't) make it perfect, that's not what this rig is.

      Gloss black would look better, but I'd paint match the grill before ditching the chrome bumpers.

      Yeah, that's my understanding. The newer trucks are 433Mhz vs the older 315Mhz TPMS. Putting these wheels on is costing me a small fortune, but so far, I'm still OK with it.    Next week the chrome bumpers are scheduled to be replaced with flat black ones. That would complete what the dealer still owes me.
