So I have a 2016 Silverado CC, and when I remote start from the app it always turns on the defroster . Today is was 100 and when I got in after remote starting the defroster was on again. When I remote start from the key fob the AC comes on like it is supposed to.

 

Has anyone had this problem?

I've noticed mine lately appears to run the defrost but I'm wondering if it's blown all the time and just now cause its so hot and the ac is cold if its just condensing now when it didn't before. I also leave mine on Auto 100% of the time.

Not sure I understand? i guess i need to ask this stupid question LOL Are you saying that when you use the Onstar app on your phone to remote start that the truck starts up and then the COOL air is blowing out of the defrost vents at the windshield instead of the dash vents? Or are you saying that HOT air is coming out the defrost vents at the windshield and the truck never cools?

 

FYI the post made me curious so I just remote started from my phone Onstar app and my 2016 Denali is blowing cool air out of the dash vents NOT the defrost vent..............................

It's blows cool air from the defrost vents when I start from the app not the AC vents.

The truck slowly cools but the air is not being blown out through the AC vents only the defrost vents.

It might be a programming thing, I mean as long as it is blowing cold air into the truck it shouldn't be a problem. They probably programmed it to do defrost no matter what season. So if it's always defrost then during the winter that's really what matters. I just used it today and the truck was cooled down. I will use it tomorrow and I will see if mine is defrost only.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
