Drove my truck all day listening to the radio. Stopped at a store before coming into work and noticed that when the radio came on the volume went straight down on its on. It was about 25% up when I got out of the truck. Turned the knob and the volume line comes up and automatically goes back down. Turned the radio off and back on and no change. Turned the truck off and back on and no change. IF I turn the volume knob really quick the sound goes up but again goes right back down on its on to no sound at all??? Truck is a 2015 All Terrain SLT with Bose and I have had it for 4 months now with no issues.

Maybe check the teen driver section in the menu? I know you can limit the radio volume on a key by key basis.

 

That's all I got.

In my Tahoe there is an "Auto Volume" setting that adjusts the volume based on vehicle noise or speed (could account for the volume going down when you stopped). There are five settings from low to high, if your vehicle is equipped with Auto Volume your setting may be on low. Check it out.

Couple of things I will definitely check out! Im at work till midnight right now. It was weird though like the volume had an anchor tied to it. I could turn the knob and it would go up slightly but then turn right back down to no sound at all. The speed of the vehicle had no effect on any of the sound. I messed around with during the 5 minute ride from the store where it begin till I arrived at work. Cut the truck off and let it sit for a minute, started it back up and volume still would not stay turned up. It had been fine all day, I went into the store and when I came out and got back in my truck is when it started.

Auto volume only works while the truck is moving and it doesn't change the volume indicator percentage, it works in the back ground.

This is crazy. Today I listened all day. Stopped for 30 min. Got back in and my radio was as high as it would go. I turned the knob down quickly and it went down but then right back up. I tried the steering control and it did the same thing. Used my phone to lower the volume as I was on BT.. Stopped and turned off the truck then back on and it worked. Very weird

I would not bank on it but it sounds like a problem with the auto memory, truck is supposed to remember your last heat, radio, seat positions etc...works off specific key fob.

I'm having this same issue (3 times) with my 2014 Sierra and have had it addressed trice at the dealership. They claimed both times that the issue was corrected by re-flashing the IntelliLink system. I actually had it recur about a week after the second fix. I have a video showing the issue which I will try to post. I have attempted to read through as many posts as I could find and have not found that anyone has found a solution. If there is one, would you please let me know?

 

Ultimately, I am attempting to have someone with GM customer service reply to this. I have contacted them and the reply I received was generic and doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

I have a 2015 gmc sierra 2500 denali I have had issues with the volume going up by itself when it happens the volume indicator shows up on the dash instrument cluster like when you use the steering wheel controls. I have had it into the dealership twice for this issue they did a software up and the issue is still there also checked the volume control buttons on the steering wheel.I also turned the auto volume control feature off to eliminate that as a possible cause. Has anyone else had this issue. I am also having issues trying to locate a wiring diagram or electrical schematic. Any possible ideas would be appreciated thanks.

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
