The system can accommodate a trailer with up to six tires. Additional or replacement sensors are available as a GM Accessory. Sensor functionality requires that the trailer tire pressure monitor system be ordered with the vehicle and installed by the factory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">The sensors must be mounted onto each tire and wheel assembly, and the sensors must be learned by the vehicle. The sensors monitor the air pressure in the trailer tires and transmit the trailer tire pressure readings to a receiver located in the vehicle. The tire pressure and temperature values can be viewed in the trailering app on the infotainment screen.

If the trailer is not available, the trailer tire pressure sensors can be learned using the new EL-52641 Trailer Presence Simulator Tester (Fig. 7), which can simulate the presence of a trailer. The tool can be helpful when a customer would like the trailer tire pressure sensors learned without having the actual trailer at the dealership.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11000\" src=\"https:\/\/techlink.mynetworkcontent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/F07-EL-52641-tool.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/F07-EL-52641-tool.png 740w, https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/F07-EL-52641-tool-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/F07-EL-52641-tool-85x55.png 85w, https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/F07-EL-52641-tool-200x130.png 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><b>Fig. 7<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Use the trailering app or the special tool to initiate the trailer tire pressure sensor learn mode. A double horn chirp will sound to indicate the learn mode has been enabled. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Once the learn mode has been enabled, each of the sensors unique identification codes can be learned into the trailer tire pressure indicator module memory. When a sensor ID has been learned, the trailer tire pressure indicator module sounds a horn chirp indicating the sensor has transmitted its ID and the trailer tire pressure indicator module has received and learned it. The trailer tire pressure indicator module must learn the sensor IDs in the proper sequence, depending on the number of axles a trailer has, to determine correct sensor location. The turn signals will individually illuminate indicating which location is to be learned in the proper sequence. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Start with the left front trailer tire, and then the remaining sensors in the following order: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Right front if the trailer has one axle.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Left rear, right rear, and right front if the trailer has two axles.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Left middle, left rear, right rear, right middle, and right front if the trailer has three axles.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><b>TIP:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\"> If a<\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\"> sensor is activated and the horn doesn\u2019t chirp, the sensor signal may be blocked by another component. Rotate the wheel so that the valve stem is in a different position. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">When using the trailering app on the infotainment screen, the current tire is highlighted while the tire sensor is being learned. After a sensor is learned, a checkmark appears next to the tire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">When the last sensor has been learned, a double horn chirp will sound, indicating the learn process is complete. The trailer tire pressure indicator module will exit the learn mode. If a double horn chirp is not heard, confirm that all of the tire pressure sensor parameters display YES.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">If the trailer tires are rotated or if the tire pressure sensors for the trailer are replaced, the trailer profile in the trailering app must be updated under the Trailer Profile view. Select Tire Pressure Setup and follow the on-screen instructions to relearn the tire sensors, which will overwrite the current sensors for the selected trailer profile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><i>&#8211; Thanks to Dave MacGillis<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The all-new 2019 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 (Fig. 1) offer available trailering systems that feature a trailering app, trailer tire pressure monitors, and HD cameras.
