If you get back on here never mind on the assist. After running through some diagnostics with the VIA technician it looks like the dealer didn't put any coolant in the battery coolant system for a while and some air got sucked into the line. I didn't work through the all the diagnostics with as I worked out a deal with the dealer for a switch with a different truck on the same lot so that's where I left the conversation off. If someone is looking for a Vtrux you could talk to down east auto in wilson NC. Cheers

Please help! Okay so I just (like 2 days ago) purchased a 2014 4x4 silverado Vtrux for $21k with 14k mi on it. I didn't do a lot of research on it and thought it was one of the standard chevy hybrids. Only apparent problem when I checked it out was the tire pressure indicator being on despite adequate tire pressure. It ran fine that day going home (about 75miles). The day after I purchased it, it drove like it did the first day for a short 4-5 mi drive. I plugged it in and charged it half that day and overnight (when i bought it, it was on the yellow bar, about 33%). In the morning I unplugged it to go to work but the electric motor or power steering/braking don't seem to work. When I turn it over, it does the turn on and "checking" sequence then gives me a "service 4WD" and "service braking assist" errors on the driver display. The engine also isn't turning on (which I assume is b/c the battery is charged). The controls inside the car seem to work (AC, lights, radio, controls for the menu) but the electric motor, power steering and braking aren't working. I'm able to shift it into neutral just fine but when I shift into drive the D flashes off and on. Does anyone know what this might be caused by or advise for diagnostics? I'd like to test the batteries but I'm not sure how to access them. I'm trying to get the service manuals off their service website (same as rugz31 above) but also haven't been given access yet. (Again Madude91 if you have the manuals to share I would be extremely grateful!) Ugh, I feel like I bought a 20K paperweight

Sorry to hear about your circumstances. I think I may have been an unlucky person as well as far as the battery goes. I'm hoping not but honestly I just can't find any information online about them and can't figure out what's wrong with mine. I literally bought it 2 days ago for $21k with 14k mi on it but when I woke this morning after charging it, I can't get it to work. I'm making another post on this to see if anyone else has any ideas. I bought it "as is" and haven't contacted the dealership about it but I don't think I can cancel the deal at this point. Also not sure how I would get it to them (75mi away). I would very much be interested in the manuals and schematics. I can't find them anywhere! You would be willing to share?
