Any tips out there for programming /matching teh trailer TPMS to teh truck and trailer profile??

 

I searched, maybe not the best words, but I did not come up with anything.

 

I do have a tool to awake teh TPMS, just need some instructions.

I have not tried to program the matching tpms sensors. 

 

For the moment, I have had excellent luck with this system by Truck System Technologies using the cap sensor option.  Battery life has been running 2-3 seasons.  It has already saved me once by alerting me to a large leak moments before getting on an interstate.  This allowed me to stop and replace the tire before any damage was done.

Hook up to the trailer, atleast the cord. Choose your trailer profile. On the left side of trailering app screen, there is a tab labeled "Tires". Click on it, window will ask if you want to setup sensors. Screen will walk you through the process.

 

If it is a long 3 axle gooseneck, might have to remove rear license plate to get a stronger signal to program. Doesn’t bother after being programmed.

The owner's manual gives good directions on how to do it with one exception and that is that I found the truck has to be running to learn the sensors.  An inexpensive TPMS Learn tool, like the one below, makes the job a lot easier than letting air out of the tires.  You can buy a tool just for GM vehicles or just for Ford but I have both, so this tool works for both trucks.

After having the monitors installed on our camper, I bought the tool to learn the positions and it worked fine. But the truck does not retain the info for some reason. The next time we hooked up no information.

Do you have anything plugged into the ODBII port under the dash?  If you do, then unplug the device from the ODBII port and try again.  That will sometimes make a difference.

I just bought 2022 silverado HD with advanced trailering. Is the tpms supposed to be part of this package? If so where do you find the display for minitoring. Ive look everywhere. Also, Are sensors supposed to be included with the truck? I didn't get any.

Sensors are a factory added option. 4 for $50.

 

You have to hook up a trailer and set the traler up in the trailer icon in the infotainment screen. You will then see the tab for tpms under that trailer.

I searched for a few months for sensors because I am a tightwad.  No sensors were included with my '21 Silverado, although I had option U1D (the option which includes a module behind the rear bumper to receive the trailer tire sensors).  Since I didn't get the sensors when I bought the truck (option PTT), I was told to get them through parts.  Chevrolet price is $150 for two sensors. They keep changing the part number every year to confuse us.  You can find a set of 4 for $90-135 on ebay. 

 

For the '21 Silverado:

TPM Trailer P/N 85110397

The manufacturer "Schrader Electronics" for 2021 updated PN (part number) for these sensors, PN 84152501 was replaced with New PN 13540608.

 

I got a set of 84338125 sensors and I can confirm 84338125 trailer TPMS sensors work with my '21 Silverado.  I far as I can tell, 84152501,  844338125, and 85110397 are interchangeable.

I hope this is the solution for me as well.  I have been able to have the truck recognize each sensor but after I select Done, the sensors are not reflected in the truck.  I do have an iDash plugged in so perhaps this is the issue.  Fingers crossed.

I have this option and tried to learn the sensors but it would just time out. I did not have the truck running as someone had mentioned. Will try that next. Thought maybe my tool which worked for my 2016 was not compatible with my '21.

Tried  to set up invisible camper mode with my 5th wheel. Had to lie about the size but it comes up. Just have to tweak a few dimensions to make it work better.

I was feeling cheap and bought a set of sensors off of ebay. Part #84338125, took them to discount tire for installation. After they installed, it took some convincing for them to "program" the sensors but I told them to treat it like the vehicle. he did and the truck "learned" the sensors without any problems. Very happy with this setup!!!!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      For some unexplained reason my father wanted a salvage yard. As we were getting the family business off the ground one brother ran the salvage yard. We gathered there when rained out working on pipelines in the eighties to pull parts. Perfectly good running vehicles would come to us simply because they wouldn’t pass emissions inspection. We were able to swap parts and sell some of them. I got a clean old nova with a bad engine. I pulled a perfectly good small block out a Camaro. A father and son project with a rebuilt engine. The son couldn’t get the engine running right. The problem was the spark plugs weren’t gapped. The 90s vehicles probably widened the gap of shade tree do it yourself engine repair. My do it yourself hot rod repair stopped at the 70s. After that my trusted mechanic kept them in running shape.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I have an old dental chair in my shop. Something I got for free and apparently it has more than scrap value? People collect them although mine isn't restored or anything. It's visually interesting (1930's Ritter) which is why I like it. And it IS decently comfortable if you kick back.   When a good buddy of mine saw it he said, let me guess, Atlas. It's a conversation piece? As in, you ask the questions, they do the talking?   Where do you hide the jar of teeth?   I would never.

      Are we talking about the same thing, though? The 7 versus 3 wear metals was from Lakespeed's 3.0-specific oil brand comparison test between AcDelco oil and Mobil ESP. The filter remains a constant so whatever excess particles the AcDelco oil is producing aren't being filtered out.   I'm assuming there's a parallel comparison to be made; IF the filter can filter down those particles, engine life increases, and your graph makes the case that a better filter (lower micron rating) can increase engine life. Introducing fewer particles AND filtering those particles with higher efficiency is the best of all worlds. Good oil, good filter.   Where we may disagree is the "baseline relative engine life". I'm more apt to believe the base engine life value is 200k+ on very average oil and filters, "bulk oil of unknown brand and white-label generic fleet-grade filter, Jiffy Lube"   Going from a 10 micron filter to a 5 micron filter should boost a base 200k to 275k in a vacuum as a single factor alone.   Here's the whatabout: How does regularly changing the oil and filter ahead of recommended schedule influence baseline engine life? Most people aren't going to science the heck out of this stuff or ask about Micron ratings, HTHS, or wear comparison tests at Jiffy Lube. Most of the Jiffy lube techs would say they need to call their tech support line to even try to get an answer.   --   Because we love anecdotes here, when I was fishing for 4.3 parts at a local yard this weekend, ALL of the 4.3 vehicles had well over 200k. I love looking at odometers of junked vehicles. How far did THIS go before landing at the crusher? The ones that still had engines weren't seized. None of them were vehicles I'd consider were Amsoil queens, in fact most of them had some kind of service cling-sticker in the corner of the windshield indicating it probably had very average maintenance services. Even the fresh parts rigs- I'm not sure taking an S/T series to 400k has much value considering the running value of those vehicles was probably somewhere around $1,000. 25+ years is a good run on time alone.   The intake manifold I salvaged had clean and bright pool areas. As expected, I found the fuel lines in the manifold rubbed through, just like mine. I'm guessing the lines on that donor truck started leaking, the truck started running rough, and its owner said that's enough I'm unwilling or can't take it out of service for several days, or spend $1000+ to repair it at a shop, it's simply time for a newer more reliable vehicle (or, more than likely, this is the 2nd, 3rd time this has happened in the truck's lifetime). While I don't count on my Blazer for reliability, the thought of giving it away for parts at certain points during my adventure, and being mentally free from its needs has has crossed my mind. I'd be losing $1500 or so, but I can only make more money; not time.
