Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring
Operation
If equipped, the Trailer Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TTPMS) is
designed to monitor the pressure of
the trailer tires and warn the driver
when a low pressure condition exists.
TTPMS sensors for four tires are
provided. The system can
accommodate a trailer with up to six
tires if additional sensors are
purchased from the dealer. Also, the
system can be paired with up to five
individual trailers.
Prior to use, the vehicle must learn
the sensors by following the learning
process. SeeTrailering App 0355.
Contact your trailer service center or
tire service center to have the
pressure sensors installed inside the
trailer tires. The technician should
insert the sensor stem through the
hole in the trailer wheel. When the
sensor is correctly positioned, the nut
on the sensor stem should be
tightened to 8 Y(6 lb ft). When
mounting the trailer tire onto the
trailer wheel be careful not to damage
the sensor.
The Trailering App can be used to
view the tire pressures after the
recommended trailer tire pressures
have been entered. Refer to the trailer tire placard on the trailer or the trailer
tire sidewall for the recommended tire
pressure.
The system is compatible with trailer
tires that have placard pressure values
from 103 - 689 kpa (15 - 100 psi). The
hole in the wheel for the tire stem
must be 11.43 mm (0.453 in) in
diameter. Use of the pressure sensors
on a wheel with a different stem hole
size could result in loss of air from
the tire.
If a low trailer tire pressure condition
is detected, the TTPMS displays a
warning message on the DIC. If the
warning message is displayed, stop as
soon as possible and inflate the tires
to the recommended pressure shown
on the tire placard on the trailer.
In addition, the TTPMS monitors the
temperature of the trailer tires. If the
system detects a high temperature on
one or more of the trailer tires, a
warning message will be displayed on
the DIC. If this warning message is
displayed, stop as soon as possible,
and inspect the overheated trailer tire.

Common causes for high trailer tire
temperature are underinflation,
overloading, or tire damage.
TTPMS Malfunction Message
The TTPMS will not function properly
if one or more of the trailer tire
sensors are missing or inoperable.
If the system detects a malfunction, a
DIC message indicates that the system
requires service. Some of the
conditions that can cause the service
message to occur are:
.One of the trailer tires has been
replaced with the spare tire which
does not have a learned TTPMS
sensor. The DIC message should
turn off after the pressure sensor is
installed in the tire, and the
learning process is performed
successfully. See "TTPMS Sensor
Learning Process" underTrailering
App 0355.
.The TTPMS sensor learning process
was not done or not completed
successfully. The DIC message
should go off after successfully
completing the sensor learning process. See "TTPMS Sensor
Learning Process" under
Trailering
App 0355.
.One or more TTPMS sensors are
missing or damaged. The DIC
message should go off when the
TTPMS sensors are installed and
the sensor learning process is
performed successfully. See "TTPMS
Sensor Learning Process" under
Trailering App 0355.
.Operating electronic devices or
being near facilities using radio
wave frequencies similar to the
TTPMS could cause interference to
the TTPMS which could cause loss
of signal reception from the sensor.
.If the system does not receive the
signal from an individual sensor, an
error message may not occur until
the vehicle has been driver for a
period of time.
If the TTPMS is not functioning
properly, it cannot detect or signal a
low tire condition. See your dealer for
service if the DIC message comes on
and stays on when the trailer tire
pressures have been checked and
determined to be correct.
Tire Inspection
We recommend that the tires,
including the spare tire, if the
vehicle has one, be inspected for
signs of wear or damage at least
once a month.
Replace the tire if:
.The indicators at three or more
places around the tire can
be seen.
.There is cord or fabric showing
through the tire's rubber.
.The tread or sidewall is cracked,
cut, or snagged deep enough to
show cord or fabric.
.The tire has a bump, bulge,
or split.
.The tire has a puncture, cut,
or other damage that cannot be
repaired well because of the size
or location of the damage.

loading, either separately or in
combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.
Wheel Alignment and Tire
Balance
The tires and wheels were aligned and
balanced at the factory to provide the
longest tire life and best overall
performance. Adjustments to wheel
alignment and tire balancing are not
necessary on a regular basis. Consider
an alignment check if there is unusual
tire wear or the vehicle is significantly
pulling to one side or the other. Some
slight pull to the left or right,
depending on the crown of the road
and/or other road surface variations
such as troughs or ruts, is normal.
If the vehicle is vibrating when driving
on a smooth road, the tires and
wheels may need to be rebalanced.
See your dealer for proper diagnosis.
Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent,
cracked, or badly rusted or corroded.
If wheel nuts keep coming loose, the
wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nutsshould be replaced. If the wheel leaks
air, replace it. Some aluminum wheels
can be repaired. See your dealer if any
of these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of
wheel that is needed.
Each new wheel should have the same
load-carrying capacity, diameter,
width, offset, and be mounted the
same way as the one it replaces.
Replace wheels, wheel bolts, wheel
nuts, or Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS) sensors with new GM original
equipment parts.
{Warning
Using the wrong replacement
wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts
can be dangerous. It could affect
the braking and handling of the
vehicle. Tires can lose air, and
cause loss of control, causing a
crash. Always use the correct wheel,
wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for
replacement.
Caution
The wrong wheel can also cause
problems with bearing life, brake
cooling, speedometer or odometer
calibration, headlamp aim, bumper
height, vehicle ground clearance,
and tire or tire chain clearance to
the body and chassis.
Used Replacement Wheels
{Warning
Replacing a wheel with a used one
is dangerous. How it has been used
or how far it has been driven may
be unknown. It could fail suddenly
and cause a crash. When replacing
wheels, use a new GM original
equipment wheel.
Tire Chains
{Warning
Do not use tire chains. There is not
enough clearance. Tire chains used
on a vehicle without the proper
