Expert Reply:
The issue you are having definitely could be that the LED trailer lights aren't pulling enough power for your 2019 Chevy Silverado to read the lights are connected, causing the message you are seeing. That's more than likely what is happening, and there's a couple options for you.
- Trailer Connector Adapter with Lamp-Out Sensor Bypass # 20142
- 7-Way Trailer Adapter for Trailers with LED Lights # C57003
Either of these will do the job for you if the issue is the LEDs not pulling enough power draw.
