I searched and came up empty...

 

I have a Silverado Z71-LTZ

After I start the truck and the parking sensors or lane departure gets used I get a message on my dash that says Service: Driver Assist System.

 

My parking sensors and lane departure still work fine but they now beep instead of vibrate(what I actually have it set to). I've gotten used to the vibrating seat and hate to hear the beeping. I will not be able to take my truck in for at least 2 weeks so I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue.

 

The first time this came up was last Saturday morning. After I drove awhile I parked and got back in; the vibrating alert was back and worked the rest of the day with multiple stops. I did not drive anywhere Sunday and ever since Monday morning I got the message along with the beeping alert.

 

I've checked my settings and they are still on vibrate; I've also tried to reset to factory settings the and still get the same message.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm going to check over any wire connections I can find to make sure it isn't as simple as a loose connection.

This is not a "new" truck; I've had it since the last week of July 2013 and am going on 21k miles.

When I first got my truck, the front parking assist wire was not connected properly which made it look like it was working but beeped every time I stopped and I could not configure the backup camera properly. But mine said, Parking Assist not available - basically, weird errors although it appeared to be working.

 

Driver Assist System seems to indicate the Land Departure Warning is having an issue (OM says Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning are "Assistance Systems for Driving").

 

I would check for loose wires, like you said. I remember someone had weird errors, so they disconnected their battery for a few minutes which cleared up the issue until they took it in. The error stayed in the truck, so their dealer fixed it...I can't find it but I think it had to do with the LDW camera?

Everything seems to be working properly except the vibration alert. The lane departure still works but I only get the beep now; same with the parking sensors. They don't go off randomly or when they aren't supposed to.

With your wire not being connected properly, mine might just be a connection loose that runs to the seat vibration. If I cant find anything there I'll try to disconnect the battery. Hopefully its something this simple so I don't have to leave my truck at the dealership

I could not find any information in our manual or online for Silverado or Sierra but I was able to find this information on Cadillacs

 

2013 Cadillac

SERVICE DRIVER ASSIST SYSTEM If this message displays, take the vehicle to your dealer to repair the system. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Forward Collision Alert (FCA), Active Emergency Braking System, Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing, and/or Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system may not work. Do not use these systems until the vehicle has been repaired.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Forward Collision Alert (FCA), Active Emergency Braking System, Assistance Systems for Parking or Backing, and/or Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system may not work. Do not use these systems until the vehicle has been repaired. The radar is not clean. Keep the radar sensors free of mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush. Clean the entire front and/or rear of the vehicle.

I check connections under the seat and everything seems to be fine, there were a lot under there so who knows if I overlook any.

 

Guess I'm going to just have to take it to the dealership in a couple weeks

Didn't get much response from this but I figured I'd give an update in case anyone searched this topic in the future.

 

They kept my truck for a week trying to find the problem and tried to blame my aftermarket alarm numerous times. My dad bought the same truck after me and has the same alarm installed by the same person with no problems. After going back and forth for a couple days I told them I was on my way up there to talk to whoever I needed to in order to get the problem solved since the service guy I had wasn't doing it.

Magically I got a call within 30 minutes from the service guy and he told me not to come up there because they found the problem.

 

It ended up being the way the wire for the vibrating seat was ran under the seat. the wire was pinched and caused it to wear itself out over time. I was only my left side, the right was still good. after they ordered parts they told me they installed the new one and routed the wire different.

 

Not everyone drives as much as I do so this problem may start showing up later on for other people. I'm just a little under 30k miles as of now.

I have a 2015 GMC Sierra 2500HD SLT, I got the same message on my screen and got beeps while driving instead of seat vibrating, took it to dealer and mentioned reading this forum and what was found with a wire under seat. Dealer inspected under my seat and found the wire harness got stuck in the seat track and yanked out a plug. All fixed and thanks to people that post here as it probably saved me a long hassle as dealer said when I brought it in that they never encountered this problem yet.

Haven't taken mine in as the issue is sporadic and haven't had the time. Thanks for the part number.

My GMC Dealership replaced the actuator (P/N 19353978). No recurrence of alarm message or audio warning. All work was completed as a warranty repair in one day.

I'm just under 30K and this is happening in my Tahoe.... I hate the beeps and will be taking this into the dealer for service tomorrow. Thank you all for your updates and educating me. I will tell them to look under my seat for a loose wire!!! :)

    • Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.    
    • Hello Guys I'm new to the form,         I just put a 7-inch Rough Country lift on my 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5.3 and I also put a Borla exhaust on it. But I noticed when I'm in park or in neutral and then I rev my truck up really quick there is a bad click noise and I think it's coming from the motor somewhere. Anyways I got a video of it I will attach below I was just wondering if you guys think its rod knock or lifter tick or something like that because I know the AFM kind of made the lifters weak on these trucks.       Thanks!!!!!

    • We’ll have to agree to disagree. I didn’t experience or know anyone who had a decent car after 100K miles in the 60s through the 80s that were daily commuter vehicles. Unless they were collector vehicles. Of course things cost more due to inflation. But we also make more money. The biggest money drains these days are things people think they need today versus what we require back in the day. Like cell phones and internet as examples. Another example is where you live. Cost of living varies from state to state. I would need twice the money to live in NJ vs Texas in retirement. The car you recently purchased was less than my first car with inflation at 3000$ in 1973. I didn’t have air, electric windows, cruise etc. Purchasing power is equivalent, you just have to do the research. 
    • Sierra HD Pro:   - If you want a power driver's seat on the Pro, you can't get it.  You have to go to SLE.   - Factory remote start?  Can't get it on any of the Sierra Pro trim (1500 or HD).  You have to go SLE.     - 7 inch radio has limitations for replacement if you wanted to upgrade the screen, etc.    - Steering wheel radio controls?  Nope.  Can you add them?  Yes.  NOT CHEAP.  Requires a new instrument cluster, steering wheel and wiring harness mod kit.     - Fog lights?  Nope.  And no factory path to install them.    Sierra HD SLE:   - IMO, the larger radio screen is a much better interface.   - Fog lights?  You can get them.  Steering wheel controls?  Has them.  Remote start?  Yep.  Power driver seat?  Available.       Silverado WT:   - Same as the Pro above however you CAN get factory remote start installed at the dealer for the WT Chevy.     Silverado Custom:   - Comes with 20" wheels only.  Can you swap later?  Sure.  But.  Truck is calibrated for the stock 20s (34" tire) and no path to properly recalibrate.     - Power seat?  Yes.   - Steering wheel controls?  Same as the Pro above.  No but can be done and not cheap.     Silverado LT:   - Same as the SLE.  You can get or it comes with many features you can't do on the lower trims.       I'd say its all going to come down to what you NEED and what you WANT to have that you'd benefit from.  For me, things like power seat is a must (I hate the WT/Pro seating position), so I'd have to go Custom, LT or SLE right out of the gate.  Steering wheel controls?  Should be standard in 2026 across the board IMO, so again, puts me to LT or SLE.  
    • I have a 1500 but the Custom trim. I bought it solely for the simplicity meaning less electronics. I also love the old school gauges. The only thing that I like about the LT better than my Custom is the front grill. Otherwise, absolutely no regrets choosing this trim.
