Turning Off Parking Assist Permanently

Anyone know how to turn off parking assist permanently? I bought a grill guard and had it installed. Did not know it was going to interfere with parking assist. Not really all that important, as I usually back in when parking and use the camera. When I go into the infotament system and turn it off there, you would think it would stay turned off. Nope. When I start the truck back on it comes on again. I looked through the fuse diagrams to see if there was a dedicated fuse. Found nothing. If I detach the sensors in the front, I get error messages. The dealer had no clue either. Any ideas?

May need to find out what the resistance is and put a resistor in the harness to fool the BCM into thinking the sensors are still plugged in.

No and no. They're ultrasonic so a resistor won't do it. Pulling a fuse will just get another warning. Not sure if there is a solution right now for this.

Probably need to have the BCM tuned to have it be off by default. Then you could still turn it on if you wanted by pushing the button on the center stack. There is a member that does BCM tuning, but I always forget his name....

GTPprix (Chris) is who does BCM programming.

Another thought is some guys who have the Bull Bars drilled holes and mounted the sensors on the bar.

This may help, but it is not directly talking about the new 2014 half tons trucks. Read the section about "removing rear park assist". Here's a link and an abstract from the article:

http://sandyblogs.com/techlink/?m=201404

 

1. On all model years, disable the Rear Park Assist Module (in most cases, by removing the OBS DET fuse 20, 10 amp, from the left I/P fuse block).

2. For 2007-2009 models, contact the Techline Customer Support Center to obtain an Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) calibration to disable the option.

3. For 2010-2014 models, remove power to the IPC for several minutes by disconnecting the battery. When power is reconnected, the IPC will not see the Park Assist Module on the low speed data buss (because it was disabled in Step 1) and reconfigure the IPC without Rear Park Assist. After this is complete, there will be not any Rear Park Assist warning messages displayed.

What does IPC stand for? I am not looking to remove a warning. I am just looking to permanently turn it off. Someone mentioned BCM programming. I am not even sure what that is or if there is someone local to me that can do that. It just would be nice if the infotainment system would remember by setting when I turn it off in the menu after my truck restarts like it remembers my other settings. It doesn't make sense why it does't retain that info.

Pretty sure that procedure only applies to rear park assist on previous generation HD trucks. The procedure exists for trucks that were bought with park assist and then had the bumper removed to accommodate a utility body or similar.

So it sounds like I'm SOL for my 2014 Silverado. lol I just wish the infotainment system settings would stick with the park assist settings. Good grief!

I just installed a bull bar on my 2016 Sierra and have the same issue. Any updates that you’ve found? Thanks!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that.

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
