I have a 2019 SLT without the NHT/Max Tow, but with the Z82 trailering package, factory trailer brake controller, trailering app, and the IOT radio.  The truck did not come with the trailer TPMS; not only did it not come with the sensor, but it also didn't come with the module that goes behind the rear license plate.  Not realizing that a separate module was needed, I ordered the sensors first.  That obviously did nothing, as the truck did not recognize them.  So I then ordered the module from eBay.  My truck had the wiring harness already ran to module location, so when the module arrived I just plugged it in.  The trailering app immediately recognized the module and gave me an option to set up the trailer TPMS sensors.  No dealer programming necessary.  It was all plug and play.  I had America's Tire install the sensors, and I then used my TPMS tool (Amazon, same one for doing tire rotations) to program them.  It works perfectly.  The trailering app now displays the tire pressure and temperature for all 4 trailer tires.

 

Just thought I'd put this out there in case anyone is wondering if this can be added.  I read a GM tech article where the writer indicated that it could NOT be added after-the-fact, but that is clearly not the case.

 

Here were the items I purchased to make it all work:

  • Sensors, part #84152501.  $65 new on eBay for a set of 4.
  • Module, part #84458180.  $77 new from GMPartsDirect.com

 

All-in for about $150.

You have a picture of the installed module? Can one see it by taking the rear plate off?

Sorry I don’t have my truck at the moment. But if you take off your rear license plate, you can quickly and easily tell them if you have the module or not. If you want to post a picture of yours, I can tell you.

Not my picture, but one I found online. The module is the rectangular box on the right, that says MADE IN UK and SCHRADER ELECTRONICS.

My truck had the wiring harness already ran to module location,

 

I have a '19 3500 Denali. It has the Z82 trailering package, factory brake controller, 5th wheel prep, but a different radio (I06) and RPO JK1 - TPMS Delete. I looked at the back of the truck and did not see an additional wiring harness. So in addition to the module I'm guessing I'll need that harness too. Any input is appreciated.

So right now my trailer app in the truck only gives me the option for the light check. If i get the module and tpms sensors, then i'll have the availbilty to monitor the trailer tires? I thought that the software in the truck was different to be able to have that ability...could be because I have an RST without the advanced trailering package?

I also have an RST and all I get on the trailer app is a light test.  I decided to just try adding the module to see what would happen.  I still just get the light test.  To the OP, prior to adding the module did you only get a light test option or did it give you other options?  I'm curious because I had trouble getting the plug into the module (thought it should have been easy) and I want to be sure I didn't mess up the harness in the process.

I'm interested in this too. I have an LT with the larger radio (Sirius XM, HD radio, etc), but my trailer setup only includes the light test.

I checked and I don't have the module, it sounds like it takes more than just buying the module, maybe a flash from the dealer?

good afternoon

 

I have a 2020 Silverado 1500 LT trail boss that does not have the advanced trailering package 

 

I purchased the module you recommended above when I plugged it in in the rear of the truck behind the license plate and turned the truck on it did not recognize it nor when I plugged in my trailer

 

I believe I have the iOS radio .  Is there anything I need to do to get this to work?  Any type of computer flash in the OBD-II?

 

we are leaving on a camping trip in two weeks so I was hoping to have this done soon anyway advice would be much appreciated

Hi SoxFan904... Did you figure out why it didn't work, I have a 2020 RST with the IOS radio and Z82 trailer pack. Would like to try it as well but don't want to spend the money if it doesn't work. Perhaps a GM dealer can program the module? Any info you can provide is appreciated. Thanks.

I have the Z82  in my Codes but I was not able to figure it out.  I installed the module I bought in the back of the truck and it did nothing, even when I hooked up to my Camper.  My Truck ONLY has the trailering app.  I am going on a trip soon with my camper, so I didn't want to take the chance of having the valve stems replaced with the GM ones I bought and have it still not work. 

 

My understanding is that it was something available from the factory and cannot be programmed, but I cannot find a definitive answer on that.  I was hoping it could be an "upgrade" I could buy.  I contacted my dealership and they were unsure as well.    I'll provide any updates if I have them, as I am going to try again to reinstall it and maybe have a valve put on my spare tire as a test.

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou
