I have a 2016 Yukon and the Intellibeam wont activate. The following is what my manual says.

 

"To enable the IntelliBeam system, with the turn signal lever in the neutral position, turn the exterior lamp control to AUTO. The blue high-beam on light should appears on the instrument cluster when the high beams are on. Also, the system only turns on the high beams when driving 25mph"

 

I've tried everything and the icon indicating intellibeam is on will not come on. I've verified on my build sheet and the fog lights are not on. Any ideas? One shouldn't need to post in a forum how to use the feature of their vehicle.

Ok thanks then, mine doesn't work. Back to the dealer again. I've had it for a week and it has a wicked dash/console rattle, vehicle pulls to the right, and now intellibeam wont work.

Utemachine, I am not sure if this is the case on your Yukon but even though my build sheet online from the GMC website with my VIN # stated it had Intellibeam, my direct call to GMC today I was told it's not equipped with Intellibeam. This was one of the reasons we purchased the Denali XL. I have called the dealership already. I don't feel this is the dealership issue but more GMC issue. Everything I can find about the 2016 states it is standard equipment and not even an option. I am not happy since this was a feature that we loved on our Escalade ESV. Not sure what my next steps are going to be but I might make them take the vehicle back.

Finally fig’d out how to turn on the IntelliBeam system. Manual not so Intelli helpful. Found a blurb on a Cadillac site, one poster said he sat in a dark garage – and hit the flash-to-pass twice, then high beam once. So I sat parked in the dark and tried the 3-step method - That did it! The 2017 Silverado Owner’s Manual clearly says hit the high-beam twice – that does NOT do it!

 

To enable IntelliBeam system (with head-lamps in auto):

Hit the flash-to-pass twice, then high beam once.

 

The IntelliBeam indicator is located down in the lower part of the tach – to the right of the head-lamps on symbol. Even the symbol is different than the 2017 manual, the “A” is actually fully inside the symbol.

 

The IntelliBeam indicator is green in color. (And smaller than the blue high-beam indicator up in the H2O temp gage).

 

If you use flash-to-pass while driving, you do NOT lose the setting. (Manual again in error).

 

If you manually turn on the high-beams you lose the symbol, and would have to reset.

 

If you turn on the fog lights you lose the symbol, but when you turn the fog lights off it comes back.

 

If you turn off the truck – the setting remains when started again.

I am constantly re-enabling this from using the manual high beams. When I realize that it isn't on and try to turn it on the highway while I'm driving, people think I'm nuts with all the "flashing" that I'm doing. It's almost a safety issue as I needlessly blind other drivers while trying to turn the auto mode back on.

 

There should be a simple dash button to enable this. Press once to engage and have it stay engaged. Press again to turn off. Shouldn't have to do the crazy flash to pass twice then high beam once nonsense!

I have a 2017 SLT sierra and can't get it to work, after some research I have found that it is only available if you have lane assist. Can anyone prove this wrong ?

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By revmanii · Posted

      No, not yet. Hoping I'll have something a little more definitive in the next day or 2. They seemed to be very confident they can order it. I do have some understanding of the whole allocations and restraints stuff so we'll see.   I think this is what I'm looking for.   3000 ORDER ACCEPTED BY PRODUCTION CONTROL

      Then you haven't read your book. It also says check every 400 miles.   If you need to add multiple quarts in that distance then reading the stick isn't the issue. Put the two together and it will make sense. Read it all.

      Weird drivability problem

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Following up on my topic, I put an O2 sensor in it which seems to have got rid of all the b2s1 codes (I ended up having multiple codes). Next I’ll try to figure out the P0011 but I might focus on exhaust manifolds first, they’re getting pretty rusty. I’m hoping this thread will help someone in the future.

      My expectations are a bit higher.    No faded paint or dry rotted plastic/rubber. I use a dressing and a ceramic sealant. No hazy headlights.  No door dings. Small dent in the front bumper. All rock chips repaired. No brush scratches. No windshield chips. No fender benders. Limit damage due to a proactive plan the included ceramics and PPF and prompt attention to any exterior issue. NO RUST. Stays out of the salt and had the rear wheel wells Line-X coated as well as the bed which has a bed rubber and has been under cover since before I bought it. Washed and detailed regularly. Rex chewed up the tow button, got whacked and the button replaced the same week. He's leaned his lesson. If I can train a dog the kids are easier.    All suspension is original save the King Shocks I installed very early on. 50 years ago dad told me a good shock will keep the screws in the dash tight and the front end mint. He was right. Everything within new spec yet, tight and aligned well several times. Coolant system is OEM save the modifications I made early on. Not a single leak anywhere on this machine. (Did repair an intake leak on #4 during the HPFP replacement.) The injectors I replaced didn't need to be. They checked out great. One of those, while I'm in there with the manifold off and the fuel rail apart things.  Not a stain or abrasion one to the upholstery. Have kept is covered since new. Never had a carpet, it's a work truck but the carpet squared I laid on the floor have keep the factory rubber liner MINT. Ceramic wind tint helps preserve the interior.    Original BRAKES with 60%+ left of the pads and rotors mic excellent. We just did a full preventative brake service. Disassembly, clean inspect including measurements, lube, Dot 4 power flush including ABS system.    OEM battery. OEM vacuum pump. In fact the only things not OEM are a pinion seal the high side pump and injectors and a small plastic shield around the starter. All hoses/belts etc.. are still in service and doing well. Original tires lasted 125K and had I known some additional details would have made it to 150K with legal tread. (Date out is six years, not 5 and Continental says they are good for 10 so I pulled the trigger to early)   I never let my children or grandchildren run the show. Feet on the floor and hands in your lap. Dog gets a pass.    A truck is a machine the gives you back whatever your willing to put into it. Same as a computer or a butter knife. I use a shovel but I scrap it, hose it off and oil it when I'm done with it. My original spade I've had 60 years.      Set the bar higher...you spend less money. No, before you ask, I have spent a fraction of the cost of a new truck in my entire maintenance program including disposables, filters/fluids etc.
