Service 4WD message?

For the past two week I randomly get this message on the dash. No dummy lights or anything just this message when I start the truck. The truck won't switch out of auto either since this started. I tried 2wd nothing and 4H and 4L it's the same thing.

 

I have 8,000 miles on this 2015 Sierra Z71 1500.

 

When I took it to the dealer it didn't happen for them and told me they couldn't do anything about it so they sent me home. I left I wasn't going to argue, I hate that dealership. Maybe I should try a Chevy dealer.

 

Has anyone else had an issue like this?

I had this promblem about a year ago . It happened to me twice . The first time it happened the message went away the next time I started the truck up . I had the dealer check it about a month later when I had it in for a oil change and the code in computer was gone so there was nothing they could do . A few weeks later it came back on again so I took the truck in the next day and this time they were able to get the code. They replaced the transfer case actuator sensor and I havnt had a issue since.

If you have onstar they use to be able read the code also . I think the service message has to be showing on the DIC.

Can I pull the TREC fuse to disable 4WD and drive with no harm? I'm stuck in 4H and I'm only driving to work but turning is still making me nervous.

What is the average price to get the transfer case actuator sensor ? I have a 2014 Chevy Silverado and it has been giving me that service 4wd for the past 2 weeks. I

      Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
