Trailering app and tire pressure not working after battery dies

BnDRoadTrip · January 12

The batteries died on my 2021 Silverado 3500 LTZ because I left a wireless camera monitor plugged into the cigarette lighter while the vehicle was in storage for two months. After jumping and recharging the batteries I have a problem with two electronic functions: the Trailering App will not turn on (with or without the trailer connected) and the tire pressures on the truck are not reading correctly on the dash display for 5 of the 6 tires. Help?

It will take a while, but your tire pressure monitors will start working again, this happened to me two times now on my 2020.

I remember seeing a video by the Toyota “Car Care Nut” guy where he said that tpms senders in the wheels have a centrifugal force actuated switch to detect motion. If they don’t detect motion for something like 30 days the tpms goes into a sleep mode to conserve the battery. To wake them up you have to drive fast enough to actuate the centrifugal switch. I have no idea what speed is needed, but it’s likely higher than slow driveway maneuvering speed. As the person above wrote, they should come back up once you start driving at road speeds.
