Just wondering if any one here has had their voice prompts in their truck stop working. Mine haven't worked since the end of the November. Worked with Chevy online support, their suggestions were wait a few key cycles on the truck, disconnect the phone and reconnect, and I did all that, and they told me to take it to the dealer. Long story short, finally was able to get the truck into the Dealer today to take care of my two outstanding recalls and look at my voice prompt issue. Dealership says that it's the button that needs to be replaced. Although when button is pressed, the voice prompt screen flashes on my info screen and immediately goes away. My concern is I'm a firm believer that once something is torn apart, it's never quite the same. I'd hate to have the dealership have to take my dash apart to replace a button, then open up an issue of creaks and squeaks, in what is now a perfectly quiet truck. Thanks in advance.

Well i was able to get the issue resolved with out having the button replaced. Because I had contacted GM prior to my appointment with the dealership regarding the voice prompts not working. They called me after my appointment to see if the issue had been resolved. I explained that the dealership wanted to replace the steering wheel control, but I was concerned that they would just be throwing parts at it, because the button worked for incoming calls and worked for everything else besides initializing voice prompts. The rep did a little further research and came across a service bulletin with the following direction.

 

1. Go into the Settings menu and select the Language setting.
2. Toggle the Language setting through all available options then back to the desired language
3. Re-evaluate for the concern. If voice recognition now works, no further diagnostics are required.

 

After following the above steps, my voice prompts were now working again. Hopefully this will help someone else in the future.

Omg you saved my truck with your post! I went out to the range to shoot some rifles and the moment I finished and returned to my truck, my voice dialing stopped working!  I tried everything, nothing worked. 

 

Your post was simple to follow and fixed my issue. 

 

Thank for educating me!

No problem, glad that it was helpful to you. Wish I could be out at the rifle range, but being in WNY, the current weather isn't kind to us at our outdoor ranges.

Ive actually had this happen as well...

Mine would “pick up” when I hit the button, but never hear or understand me. Really annoying. So it’d be telling me what I can say, go ahead, etc... I’d be yelling at my truck. Handsfree calling still worked, so it wasn’t the mic.

Brought it by the dealer and after 30 minutes they came back and said it was fixed. They had unplugged my dash cam and it started working. I’m not one to argue with success, but I ended up plugging it back in after leaving and I haven’t had a problem since. Who knows. I think it’s likely a coincidence that it started working right then.

I have been driving around for the last 6+ months with my voice prompts but working. I would push the button it would open and then immediately close. I just filtered your suggestions of toggling through the language setting and in less then a minute it fixed the problem. Thanks!!

being a newby I have read your comments about the voice command. My sis has a 2015 chevy silverado. She has problems with the gps not giving verbal directions. It will sound like a crackle in the speaker, then it  gives the first, go to command for the trip, but then will no longer give the verbal directions. It will still show the directions as a list, but no voice.

 

Any one who has had this, send to me please. Shes 84 and I have to know how to fix all of her electronics! And I know enough to be dangerous. But also when to stop when its not my vehicle.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
