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.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
