Today the temperature hit 20 degrees and my truck's park assist light didn't come on. I'm not sure if this is because of the cold weather or it just gave out. Anyone else have their park assist light not come on?

Never noticed the light on / off, as long as I hear the "beep" when I place it in "Reverse" I know it's working....a "BEEP-BEEP-BEEP" when placed in "Reverse" means it's inop for some reason. I've had mine not working for something as small as an icicle over part of the sensor.

The sensors are very sensitive to obstruction. Mine have gone offline in heavy rain, nevermind the snow, salt and other slop on the roads now.

I had mine go offline because a big street washer type looking truck drove by and must have had some big time radio interference. System went crazy when the truck started approaching, then shut itself off, came up on the screen and everything, then once truck was gone it re-initialized and was fine.. Have driven by many big trucks since and no problems, must have had some crazy systems in it.. Looked like a street cleaner truck but more industrial and no street sweepers on it..

It was a snooping device from the NSA. Hope your phone didn't have any dirty pictures on it. :lol:

lol, I thought it might be one of those trucks that goes around and takes the pictures to make the google earth work, or you never know, it could have been some gov. snooping truck.. It was weird, my sensors started going off, like I was going to hit something, but I wasn't around anything, they were getting worse as it was coming, then it started beeping like I was going to hit on every end, and bam, quiet, and the screen says Park Assist off or something like that.. while the truck drives by.. No sooner does it drive by, the screen comes back up saying it's on, and all is well again.

    • I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.  
    • Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.
    • Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.  
    • Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.
