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!!!!

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
