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

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By diyer2 · Posted

      I had a boat for many years, never had a problem even with a 2 wheel drive 93 Silvy for 20 years. Good tires, proper use of the gas pedal worked.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I read through that and I won't lie, my eyes rolled at some of the quirks about how it can turn off the trailer braking for example but I can see how it could help control or even up the torque applied to the ground with each wheel in a boat ramp scenario. But of course what it can't do is increase the torque to the wheels if the need is there as it ends up being like driving the four wheel drive version of a two wheel drive ( high range that is ). So far the neighbor that ended up with the 3.0 duramax with the max tow package which meant the 3.73 gears and high range only, I think its been doing ok for what he has been towing but doubt he ventures off into the soft stuff with his holiday trailer. He may have towed his dads river boat locally with it ( he always used his 6.6 duramax before ), I'll have to ask him sometime if he got into a lack of power to the wheels situation as after all that engine produces a lot of torque at low speed once the turbo winds out a bit and I think it has the 10 speed and if so they have a pretty good first gear ratio at 4.70 I see which is vastly better than the 3 or four speed overdrive models of years ago.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By diyer2 · Posted

      I did shorter OCI"s for many years without an issue, fights sludge and wear IMO. Recently started using Amsoil, will not do the recommended/advertised miles between changes.

      GM Part Number???

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      It definitely seems quite evident that emissions and fuel economy targets rule above the best case scenario of what the engines best health and life could be otherwise. Items like DI and turbo DI engines with their LSPI issues as well as cats being reduced in life if the proper levels of certain additives were allowed to be utilized and so something has to be compromised and as you point out that is the engine protection from sludge, acid and wear which isn't in the manufactures best interest regardless to worry about in this race to profits from higher sales and so if the engines wear out sooner the next sale is closer at hand.    I am hearing that its likely the two new 2027 GM half ton truck engines will call for a 0W-30 oil, now if that is an existing oil I would have to think so but we will see in the coming months. Sadly as you've pointed out to me, over the last number of years the push has been on to reduce the actual operating temperature viscosity within each designated viscosity grade so that 11.5 to 12 range for a 30 weight for example is more in that just above 10 range at 100c along with that temporary viscosity sheer dropping it even further down as per that "energy conserving" designation, not to mention how some oils are not as sheer stable as would be ideal and that mixed with a long OCI paints a picture with a little too much glitter shall we say !.    All that and the warranty gods scaring the vehicle owner into sticking with that watery wine or risk loosing their warranty coverage if they go and use an oil that is of a higher viscosity even if it meets the emissions and LSPI requirements and would never damage the engine but may very well allow for an engines longer life depending on engine use scenarios ... high ambient temps, towing etc that push oils to their limits.
