So I have a 2019 AT4 that originally came with the 18" rims and Duratracs.   I recently acquired a set of the 20" rims/tires from a new AT4 - these were new truck take offs at the dealer.   Before getting the new 20" rims/tires, I verified that I had the XL8 part number meaning everything should still be using the 433mhz sensors.   I bolted up the new rims/tires, put the truck in the Learn mode, used my little wake up tool on the new sensors but the truck never reads them.   I can roll one of the old 18" rims up beside it, put the truck back in learn mode, and wake up with the tool and the truck reads the old one just fine.   What am I missing?   Is there something with the ID of the sensors, do I have to tell the truck to use these four new ID's or something?   Thanks in advance.

You dont have the old 18" tires in the area close to the truck do you? If you do the truck could still be seeing the old tire sensors and not allowing you to reprogram to the other set of tires. One other thing is did you drive with the new 20" tires yet? When the truck is sitting the sensors go to sleep and don't wake up till its driven, at least that's what I have read. Take the truck out for a short drive and try it again and make sure the old tires are far away from the truck.

Yes, I drove it about 25 miles then tried out the relearn procedure.   Almost 20 miles into the drive the truck alarmed me that the TPMS system needed service - then just dashes appeared where the tire pressures are usually displayed on the dash.  First attempt at "re-learn" the old wheels/tires were stacked about 10 feet away behind my side-by-side and I noticed the drivers rear was still receiving that signal (close proximity).   I moved them all away and tried the new sensors again, several times.

 

After researching and thinking this through, it makes sense to me that the working four sensors HAVE to be registered in the computer (or BCM?) because driving down the road, or a parking lot full of other GM 433mhz sensors, the trucks' receiver would be picking up multiple signals.   Seems to reason that the truck would have to be instructed (re-programmed) to ONLY listen for these 4 new sensors and mute out all the others.  After rotations, you just help it understand (re-learn) which of the 4 corners each sensor is now located.

 

I think I need a "reprogram" procedure along with the "relearn" procedure.   Question is can a tire shop do this or do I have to surrender to the dealer.

Weird... The '21 uses 433 as well. Does the horn chirp when you relearn the 18"?

Yessir, the double chirp to begin, then the single chirp if I relearn the 18" rim.   Honestly, I think relearn is only for repositioning the sensors -- I believe the truck is looking for the original 18" with sensors and ignoring my new ones.

I've put different wheels and sensors and they had to be re learned.

The sensors put out a frequency that is fixed no programming in the BCM for the sensors no ID. Are you doing the relearn right, left front, right front, right rear, left rear? I always hold the tool at the tire and not the rim on the tire part and are you sure the sensors are in the tires? Someone may have removed them at the dealer you said they were bought from and put them in the other tires.

 

If it were me I would go back to the dealer and tell them the issue you are having, I kinda think the sensors have been removed and regular valve stems installed.

Yep, using the correct order for the wheels.   I tried all angles on the tool...  at the sidewall, stem, every possible way I could think.  I also had that thought about regular valve stems, so I removed a valve core and stuck a small wire in there.   It stops about 1-1/2" in, a regular valve stem would be open.   I have a tpms sensor diagnostic tool coming, I will be able to verify the frequency (if any) coming from the new 20" wheels, then compare to my original 18" wheels - to see if they match.  I know my 2019 is supposed to be 433mhz, but it was a transition year and it was an early 2019 model.  My luck..  the truck may be listening for 315mhz.   I'll know a lot more very soon.  FYI - I did not buy the wheels/tires directly from the dealer.   There is a guy locally that buys the new truck take-off's from the dealers and resells them.  He had stacks of wheels, tires, lug nuts, etc.  It seems that with low supply the dealers are dressing a few of the trucks they have up with accessories (lifts, larger tires/wheels, etc) and making some money that way.   I saw the same activity when I was shopping for side-by-side's last fall - I didn't want one with all the accessories....

Ok I gottcha, I don't know what tool you have but I have the JDiag EL-50448 bought from Amazon and it transmits both 315 and 433mhz.

I also have one of the  EL-50448 tools that transmits on both frequencies, no luck with these newer 20" wheels [yet].   Using this tool, the older 18" wheels wake up and communicate with the truck no problems.  That could support that the truck may be listening on 315mhz (assuming the 20's have sensors using 433mhz), but I can't prove that just yet.   That could also support the notion that there is no sensor at all transmitting from the new 20" wheels.   I have an ATEQ tool on the way that will detect the frequency used (if any).  If neither frequency is being transmitted, I'll break one of the sidewalls down and visually inspect.   I'll post up my findings.

Ok, so I have more information.   I rec'd my ATEQ tool which requires me to select my vehicle, and I was able to scan and read the sensor information from my original 18" wheels no problem (433mhz as expected).  I could not scan the newer 20" wheels and I had a hunch there might be no sensors.   Went to the tire shop, they used their Autel MaxiTPMS scanner, they could not read the sensors either.   They broke a sidewall down and verified they do in fact have the tpms sensors:

I googled the part numbers and I can see this is a factory part for 2021 Yukons, Suburbans, and Escalade.

I took my ATEQ tool, selected 2021 for either of those models, then the new sensors trigger and I can scan them.   No year earlier, no combination of Sierra or Silverado works either.

 

I have emailed ATEQ support for ideas, but I'm guessing something significant has changed for these sensors.   Two options for relearning:

 

1)  Manual - activate the relearn process from the truck menu and to trigger the sensors in order.  I had no luck, I had the truck in relearn mode (two horn beeps),  when I trigger the sensor with the tool, I don't get the single horn beep like I should.  

 

2) Auto - I'm not comfortable trying at this time because it programs the ECU with settings for a different vehicle selected in my ATEQ Tool.  I'd like to hear from support first.  It triggers, loads the sensor ID's by position, and uploads via the ODB port.

Yeah, those don't look like the one's in my wheels. I know it's not my money, but I would buy new for 28 dollars each.

That is exactly what I'm gonna do.   I found another thread on here last night to a gm-techlink article.   The new 2021 GM suv's use a different sensor, and that part number above shows for suburbans, yukons, escalades.   Sierra's in 2021 were not using it.   So, now I know.

i have a 2020 rst with sensors 84961888 433 mhz , and i just bought new take offs from a 2022 refresh that has sensors 13542523 that are also 433mhz, i still dont understand why the new wheel wont register, they both broadcast the same frequency

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!

      2026 Z71 Forward and Rear Park Assist help

      By Slow · Posted

      2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.

      Post Pics of your "Other" Rides

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.
