My 2014 GMC Sierra did not start today and I got this message on my 4.2" display "Service Theft Deterrent System". Tried several times to start truck then when I hit door lock button it started. Has anyone else had this experience? Is there a recall? Thanks in advance.

Has this only happened to me? Is this already a topic on here?

Can't say I've read of this before. You are using the original keys right? Does this happen with both keys?

Its happened to me twice on my 2015 HD. "Service Theft System". I had to remove the keys and open door to reset. It has happened twice. I wonder if its due to the key being new and not 'broken in' to the cylinder?

No, it is due to cylinder being made in China, Mexico, Thailand, Sri Lanka, who knows where. Globalization, my friend. Marginal to no quality control, cheap parts. Somebody has got to get a crappy one.

Ok, got it back from dealer and they could not find anything wrong. No codes or faults on computer. I guess we will wait for it to happen again. Nobody else seems to have this issue?

I had this happen twice last week. But I have an aftermarket remote start ( it is an all terrain but I like the remote start to run longer than two ten minute times which doesnt work 50% of the time) the dealer figured this was probably the issue.

It has happened when I remote started it. The message came up but it still was running and the message disappeared after it sat all day and I started it again. Taking it to the remote starter shop next week.

Anyone else run into this?

It does not sound like a remote start issue. I was not using the remote start on mine when the message was displayed. Also I could not even start my truck. Keep us posted.

Not great news. Remote start place didn't really find anything wrong. They reprogrammed the remote starter basically. Will have to see if it happens again......

Ok, it happens every second day now. Took the truck to the dealership and asked them to check it. They say it isn't the truck, it has to be the remote start. It only happens when using the remote starter.

Called the remote start guy, he has never seen this before so it can't be his product.

Here comes the headaches........

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?

      I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually recalibrate the speedometer it just changes the wheel speed sensor inputs to the computer. The truck still thinks it has stock tires.

      I apologize, I missed this post, at risk of going off CURRENT TOPIC.   I'm not saying it is BS, I'm questioning how much information is being held back. GM is NOT going to spell out exactly every parameter in the algorithm. Liability, intellectual property, etc.    I'm not naive enough to believe that it is as simple as revolutions, coolant temperature, miles, time; are you?    I don't do irrational either, and boiling the OLM down to four simple values that I could code in an afternoon (I'm not a coder) is irrational - unless it suits your agenda to ignore it.

      Chris 21 I appreciate your constructive response. !!  😉😉😉   The 6.6 is gas.  Correct me if I’m wrong but by recalibrating the speedo you’re correcting the shift points of the transmission on these trucks.?.

      That is a huge misconception.     Bigger does not always equal safer.  Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions.   Think of this.  Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc.   37s and a lift?  Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control.  You've raised your center of gravity higher.  Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear.  Does it look cooler?  Yes.  Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road?  NO.       As for my mention of exceptions?  Say you had a sedan or crossover.  They typically come with all season tires.  If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle.  That is an actually improving modification.  My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size.  It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
