Help: How to clear Replace Remote Battery Msg in DIC?

I recently received the Replace Remote Battery message on the DIC of my 2007 Silverado. I replaced the battery last week, in fact I replaced both batteries in my key FOBs.

 

Both remotes work, but I still get the message on the DIC. I can't find anywhere how to clear that message or if it shoul dhave cleared on it's own. It is going on a week, so I think enough communication has occurred between the truck and the FOB since then.

 

Anyone have success in doing this?

 

Thanks

Let me clarify: I can remove the message from the DIC if I hit any of the buttons. However the next time I get in to drive the car it is displayed again at startup. I am looking for way to remove the message permanently.

I would almost suspect that the battery in the fob is still bad. If you pop them out and measure them, are they correct? What about if you use the other fob?

Are you saying they are fresh because you just changed them? Or are you saying they are fresh because you checked them with a meter and know they are fresh? JUst because they are new don't mean they are good or as you say fresh. I had a problem with a TV remote the other day. Installed new batteries and still didn't work. Checked new batteries with meter and found one of the batteries had reverse polarity. Now tell me how that happens in a new battery.

Thank you for your battery troubleshooting guidelines. In my 30 years of electronics experience, a simple VOM test would have ruled out a low voltage condition and I failed to execute this simple task. I guess that I should not trust the new Duracells that I purchased. The fact that the message comes up with either remote suggests that either I installed 2 batteries with suspect voltages (possible scenario) or that the process to clear the message is not understood by me or others (probable scenario).

 

Sorry if the above paragraph sounds condesending, but a search of the internet shows that this issue with GM Remote Low Voltage message and the inability to clear it is becoming quite common as these batteries age. I suspect more and more people will experience this. I did not go thru the learning procedure because both remotes are fully functional and others that have tried that route were not completely successful. Maybe there is a small defect in the code loop that wasn't fully exploited in integration testing or maybe it's a sign that GM wants to have their dealers earn some $$$ by using the scantool to turn it off.

 

I just wanted to know if anyone else here in GM-Trucks land had seen or experienced this before and if so, what was the resolution

Doesn't help your cause, but i have the same issue with an 07 Suburban 2500 that i just bought. My previous 09 Suburban had DIC access to remote programming, but the 07 does not. Hopefully someone will chime in because i'd like to get it resolved also without a trip to the dealer for such a trivial issue.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
