It amazes me how counterproductive this forum can be sometimes. The guy made a legitimate inquiry and justified his reasoning. He's looking for answers, not opinions on his lifestyle. Everyone's entit

You can always go out there and start it by hand and it will run until the fuel tank is dry if you want.   Imagine how warm the seats will be, too!   Don't complain about "only 10 minutes", it

You have two, 10 min remote starts before you have to go and start it with your keys, and then it resets the cycle. So if you wait until it shuts off on the first remote start, you can do one more aft

I believe this whole 10 min run limit thing is about liability. I think it's a concern about carbon monoxide poisoning, etc.. Even Chris is pretty conservative about doing much with this.

Your starter isn't going to fail prematurely. You never hear about starters failing anymore. As far as I know it never would run 20 minutes unless you timed it just so- it always added 10 minutes from where you did the command. My 2011 manual says as much too.

Anyone had an issue when using remote start where seats do not heat up/cool. The settings for both are set to "on" but neither works with remote start in my '15 Sierra Denali.

I have only had my vehicle since September, so here (in Edmonton, AB, Canada) I haven't really had a chance to test the auto cooled seats. I can say for sure that my heated seats come on with the remote start, although the lights for the heated seats do not. You can only tell from the temperature of the seat itself.

 

Everything I've read says that when those settings are on, the truck cools the seats on "hot days" and warms them on "cold days", but I can't seem to find what temperature defines "warm" and "cold".

Mike-I'll check closer. The indicator lights not coming on as they have in the past several trucks I've owned concerned me. With only a 10 minute window, they don't have time to warm up a lot but I'll check closer.

I've noticed the same thing and we have the same vehicle. Would love to know what defines warm/cold. The heat comes right now, but I'm thinking that the seats are not coming on as well.

I have noticed my seats heat up on remote start, they aren't as hot as they would be after having them on high and driving around for a bit; but noticeably warm compared to the other surfaces in the truck in the morning. Once I turn the key I still have to turn the heated seats on. I think that's how they are supposed to work though, correct me if I'm wrong.

It's only 39 here currently. I double checked and the HVAC heat comes on, but the heated seats definitely are not warming up even though I have the setting turned on.

Do they work when you turn them on after a key start?

Yep, everything functions normally once I put the key in and start driving.

Different model, but I think this applies.

"The system uses the information obtained from the Outside Ambient Temperature sensor on the vehicle. When it reads 80°F (27°C) or higher, it will allow the operation of the ventilated seats during a remote start. When it reads 50°F (10°C) or lower, the system will allow operation of the heated seat during a remote start. If the sensor reads anything in between these temperatures, neither the heated nor ventilated seats will turn on regardless if they are enabled in the personalization menu."

 

Thanks! Admittedly, I have never looked too hard, but that's the first time I've seen numbers around when they cool or heat. Like you said, different model, but could be accurate.

Canadian igloo is a complete moron. I don’t think you actually live in Canada. At minus 35 C it’s bloody cold and 29 mins is not enough. “Get in and drive” guy, you really are an idiot. Nothing wrecks an engine faster than not warming it up. God, some people on here should just shut up.

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Dealer just confirmed that GM is "out of AC compressors."  Not sure if all 2019 to 2026 trucks use the same compressor, but a shortage like that is hard to believe.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I think we're reaching the end of constant projects/work.   The water pump bolt appears to have self-sealed, as it's not leaking anymore. I'll take it, and, I'm ready should it self-unseal! I was also getting an oil leak at the front oil pan seal and timing cover and came to find a pan bolt on the corner wasn't even finger-tight. Too easy. And, it was. But, it appears tightening it has reduced a leak producing spots on the ground every time I parked, to just a weep, leaving an occasional dot on the cardboard that lives under it while parked. That's acceptable on a 30 year old engine in my book. I do hate leaks, but, replacing the pan seal is quite the job.   The rear washer line is reconnected and the sprayer works, although getting an intermittent washer fluid drip off the bottom. I think it's just residual...the reservoir filled up the channel in the rear floor and drained down into the upside-down spare tire/wheel. So there are residual puddles all over under there, will wait a few days for it to spill out and dry before I go chasing a potential leak.   The door speaker...no dice. Speaker works just fine, it's that channel in the factory amp that's gone bad. Can't win 'em all. And, whomever buys this will probably tear out the factory radio for something more modern anyway.   I put about 110 miles on it yesterday. Put a lot of wind and heat into it with some mountain driving. Still runs great. Near the top of the pass I got off on a gravel side road and put about 10 miles on with 4hi engaged. Works great.   If ya squint, she's mint! God I wish these were still in production. I can see why they're not. They're rudimentary bordering on agricultural. They began life as a pickup truck and then modern society demanded the rear be enclosed for kids and crap. They're still a pickup underneath, and that gives them lots of ride character, sway and bounce and bump steer. They're alive on the road, and, at least for purposes of nostalgia, it makes driving one a lot of fun.   The Check Engine light did come back on the pass, P0134 for the upstream O2 sensor dropping out. Putting heat into the exhaust causes it after about 10-15 seconds of increased load at higher RPM. The downstream sensor is completely mangled (someone clearly had a rough time removing it, but they didn't replace it?) so I'll just put two in it. For what, mostly to cure the CEL, I can tell the cat is damaged. It's not plugged or fractured, but it's not catalyzing. There's some guilt in not fixing it, but at a cost of $500+, the truck just won't get driven much under my watch. I dislike the smell...running the truck in the shop even with both doors open and the overhead fans blasting, I still reek of pre-cat exhaust. Sticks to clothing and everything else.   Window motor (I'm dreading this), and tires, and that should be about it. 50/50 on Starfire Solarus H/T's, or spending $20 more per tire and going with Cooper Discoverer RT's. I like the look of the RT's a lot more, but is it worth it? I've got a really good (just very old) Toyo Open Country XTX on there now and I like it.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      From what I've seen, they "could" sell the switch but designed the assembly such that the switch can't be readily removed and replaced without removing a plastic locating pin.  Sure appears aimed at forcing the end user to purchase a $900 shifter assembly instead of a $20 switch.  Thankfully I still have some extended warranty left...  this one has had warranty repairs almost every 5K miles from the day I bought it.

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      I'm well aware of the typical bathtub failure curve, but plotted, this truck has been more like an elevated straight line.  It started days off the lot with misfires that GM couldn't solve for almost 2 years, and steadily continued over the last 5 years with repeat replacements of wiring harnesses, camera modules, cameras, parking sensors, head unit, rear windows, rear leaf springs and bushings, lower control arms, a radiator, and now an ac compressor and a column shift assembly.
