Thanks for the update. I'm in the same boat as you. I will wait to see if anything new transpires from the trip to the GM dealer.

The way this add on module was explained to me is the 2021 and 2022 (possibly 2020) require an upgraded radio when choosing the trailer app for TPMS. The radio RPO codes for the trucks with the trailer TPMS is different than the ones without. My 2021 Silverado 3500HD was ordered without the trailer TPMS package and I had wanted to upgrade since the TPMS system that came on my fifth wheel is an absolute dumpster fire. The answer I got from my contact was that part of the approx $400 cost of the trailer TPMS was for the upgraded radio. GM has been changing their electronics architecture regularly so the 2019 might be possible to upgrade by adding the module but for sure the 21 and 22 are not.

I just purchased a 2022 Silverado ZR2 Refresh with 5K miles. I was wondering if it supports trailer tire pressure sensors?

 

It has the UET Trailer App. It doesn't have the PTT option on the window sticker or the build sheet. I was wondering if PTT is just to add sensors to the truck order?

 

I looked behind the license plate and there is what appears to be a TPMS module there. Unless it for the truck itself? Other threads have suggested the module behind the license plate is for trailer tire pressure sensors. The trailer app on the Informant screen doesn't show anything for learning trailer tire pressure sensors. I don't have sensors as yet as I wasn't sure if my ZR2 would support them.

 

I have not connected to my trailer as yet to see if that makes a difference. Its small and only has a 4 pin plug. I ordered a 7 to 4 pin adapter. I only have a 7 pin on the ZR2. The other connections on the bumper with the 7 pin are for the two TRG trailer camera provisions.

 

I should have the 4 pin adapter in a few days to find out but I thought I would ask here.

TPMS Module Wiring.pdf 65.08 kB · 0 downloads

I know this has been here awhile, however, I found that on my 19+ Silverado with the Trailer TPMS harness it has only the #3 and #4 pins installed. I have to install power and ground terminals for the module to be seen by the BCM. I've found that this dealer install option has their tech installing these terminals and functions properly once completed. Hope this helps i've added the wiring diagram for anyone who needs it.

I have a 2020 Silverado Z71 LT. I purchased / installed the TPMS sensors and the module, and wired the positive and ground wires. I still only get the "test trailer lights". That's with the trailer hooked up and the TPMS sensor activated using the tool from Amazon. The only thing left is the radio. Does anyone know what the correct part number is for the radio? Or is there something else that I should try first?

I have a 2022 Sierra 1500 AT4 3.0 and it has the module installed behind the license plate from the factory, truck did not come with the extra sensors for a trailer though.  
 

In my trailering app I don’t see anything at all for TPMS.  For those of you that are able to see trailer TPMS do you always have something visible in your trailer app, or only when connected to a trailer that has TPMS installed?   
 

Curious if I added TPMS sensors to my trailer if I would be good to go or not.  I see many appear to need a new radio but it seems odd to me that I would need that if the module is already installed on the truck when it was built.

Anyone have luck adding the TTPMS module?

Yes, i just had to add power and a ground wire. No programming needed bcm recognized it right away. I did buy an OE connector with all 4 wires from Amazon for ease of install. Look at my above post for wiring. And I bought my module using myChevrolet points, it’s only $100 for the module.
Good luck

This post above gives me hope!

 

I have a 2020 1500 and purchased the module. Got all excited - hooked it up and blam!!!! Got the same old test lights when entering trailer mode. No expanded menuing…. So begs the question. I see the wiring diagram - can’t for the life of me figure where or how to install the extra power or ground. Any pics or extra info on that maybe? 
 

and then - the connector that you got from Amazon. What was that for specifically? Any link to that? Or was that a nice to have not a need to have. 
 

Hoping that this extra wire attempt gets this going for us - am anxious to be a little safer riding the camper and knowing how those wheels are doing!

here is the link to the OE 4 wire pigtail I ordered. Hope this helps. I just placed the missing wires into the original pigtail and color coded them then traced the power line and wired in a ground. I didn’t want to cut any original wires. They just clicked right in.

Success or not making TTPMS work when it wasn't factory installed possibly depends on if the trim level had it as an available option.

 

Even in 2025 model year TTPMS is not available on all trims.

Trying to add this to my 2021 Silverado, where did you tap in to get the 12volts and ground?

I tracked power to the trailer module above the spare

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.

      185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
