A question here.

I put my winter tires and wheels fromy 2019 Silverado 2500HD onto my new 2021 Silverado 3500HD  and the truck will not read the TPMS sensors. The tire shop said the dealer needs to reprogram the sensors to the new truck. Took it to the dealer and they say that this cannot be done even though the TPMS part numbers are identical between the years and that I need to buy new sensors for the new truck. Any help would be appreciated as this makes no srnse to me! Thanks in advance.

Looks like I found the issue. Had another tire shop dismount one tire and check the TPMS, its part #84961888. The shop ran the number and both that one and my 2021 part number are listed as correct for the 2019 Silverado. Seems with the body style change in 2019, (1500's got new body while 2500's and 3500's kept old body), both numbers were used interchangably. But the 84961888 will not work with 2020 and up even though both are 433mhz and both work in the 2019. The Tirerama shop has ordered me the new sensors and will be here Wednesday. Another couple hundred bucks gone.

This is certainly not what we like to hear, Carter. Our team would be more than happy to take a closer look into the concerns with the TPMS sensors and your new Silverado. To do so, please send an email to [email protected] with ATTN: Carter Bouslaugh/GM Trucks in the subject line. Please include your contact information, VIN, a brief description of your concern, and the name of your preferred dealership. We look forward to hearing from you.

Yupp -- and newdude is trying to get the OP to verify that the part number/frequency for both sets of sensors.

Some part listings show multiple part numbers for the years in question. 

Verifying what they are may help determine the solution -- and determine if the dealer is correct that new sensors are needed.

 

No matter what tool is available, if the frequency of the sensors does not match the frequency of the vehicle they will not be able to be paired.

 

Of course, this is why many tire shops use dual frequency sensors.

Slightly higher sensor cost, but then it doesn't matter what the vehicle frequency is.  Great convenience to the tire shop.

 

 

 

That's why I asked for his old VIN. OP's signature shows he's in Montana, and I have a serious mental problem so I checked all 38 used 2019 Silverado HD trucks for sale on Cars.com in a 500MI radius. 

 

Every single one of those trucks were RPO code XL7 for 315mHz frequency.

2019 LT new body style:

I just happen to be going through something similar. Bought new wheels n tires with new sensors. They are schrader 315/433 

I can activate the relearn, 2 beeps,  and tried the air down method found on YT,  but no horn sound. I read a bit further and found the new 2019 LT would need the relearn tool. 

So I purchased JDIAG EL-50448 TPMS relearn tool for GM sold on Amazon... so we`ll see if that does it...

So far 4 relearn tools have not worked. The double beep "relearn ready" beeps are easy to obtain, but the truck refuses to recognize the sensors, even though the relearn tools all verify they are in place and communicating at proper 433mhz frequency.

COUPLE HUNDRED???? You can buy sets of 4 sensors new on ebay for $30-40. I have bought several of both frequency and have had no issues pairing them to appropriate vehicles with my cheapo relearn tool.

Oh, and you installed them yourself for free too?

I will know more tomorrow when the tool gets here, if it doesnt work then I`ll be on the phone with Discount tire to find out why.

update, received the relearn tool today, and went right out to the truck to try it out. Bazzinga! it worked great. heard the horn beeps went onto the next until done. display now shows the tpms. From what I know DTD installed Schrader brand 315/433 dual freq sensors in the new wheels... So glad I got this done, and for $12.xx for the tool, def worth a shot...

Correct, the airing down method may have only worked up until 2013 for trucks and 2014 for SUVs.  I bought the tool myself 2 years ago for around $15 on eBay.  Have used it twice since.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.

      from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
