2020 - 3500HD Duramax @4000 miles

2018 - Jayco Northpoint 5th Wheel

2016 - Ranger Z518 Bass Boat (Surge Brakes)

 

Sometimes when I hook to the 5th wheel I get the error "Brake Gain Not Recalled".  When this error occurs it also feels like the brakes are not being fully applied when manually overridding (for a brake check).

 

Dealer has had the truck twice now , this time for 2 weeks.  GM is telling the dealer that both my trailers have bad wiring.  I did not have this issue with a 2018F450 pulling for 2 years.

 

Has anyone else seen this issue?

 

Thanks

I get that error all the time. Sometimes shortly afterwards, I’ll get a message saying that the brake controller has been recalled.
Even if I don’t get that second message, when I confirm the controller setting, the preset output is always at the correct setting anyway.

I just associate it as one of the numerous glitches that this system had.

same here, I get the error about every 4-5 trailer connections, but other than dismissing the screen, the gain is set correctly, and everything works fine.

Ditto the above.  I find everything works best if the ignition is off when I plug in the pigtail. However, I've never had the trailer brakes not work properly regardless of the DIC message.  I just ignore the message if it says brake gain wasn't recalled.

Yes, like others have stated I get the error but it still sets the gain properly. 
maybe next update will fix it.

I’m in same boat as the rest here... but it only does it with my 35’ cougar all other trailers it hooks up fine.

There is a recall on the 1500 that I have I know for the break controller. I bet the HD are having the same issue.  I called to see if I needed to have it looked at before I pulled my trailer, the tech said it did not effect the operation of the break controller. Just if there was a perfect storm of things that happen, if I remember correctly, he said something like this would happen. I too get it regularly and always seems to be set the same.

Also a regular for this issue.  Hope GM is actually working on it!

Ditto, it has a mind of it's own

ITBS system is not quite ready for prime time. Taking my truck and camper to a RV tech to see if he can make it work.  Trailer brakes connect intermittently.  Some times I get the trailer brake gain not recalled.

Like everyone else, I also get this issue.  Occasionally it will even say "no trailer connected" but the brake gain still works.  When that happens, I shut the truck off and restart it and everything works fine (this has only happened a couple of times).  I figure it is a software glitch and hopefully a future update resolves it.

Ditto for me as well, I have had a few brake gain messages...but the trailer brakes always work.....but I always check before getting under way.

      Clunk when putting truck into drive and reverse.

      By Matt Parker · Posted

      I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
