Over the past several months, I have been noticing upon startup that the dash has been display "Theft Attempted", now over the past 3 days, my alarm has been randomly going off as I walk away from the truck. Remote is in hand and is not being mashed so no chance of the panic button being it. Anyone have this happen to them? Pretty confused on whats going on here.

My alarm went off randomly when I reconnected the negative battery cable. Scared the crap out of me since my head was under the hood. No message about theft attempted though.

I've put a couple ground cables on for this concern. If you're mechanically inclined, you can perform a voltage drop test on it to verify otherwise, you'd be just throwing a part at it.

Found a that the negative battery terminal was loose, tightened that yet still is going off randomly.

Thanks for the tips though!

Interference from the remote or something on the truck?

I have the same issue with my 2015 Yukon Denali. Been to 2 dealers who say they have never heard of the issue yet I have seen this problem in online forums over and over. I am frustrated because in fact this morning I was sitting in my home and the alarm randomly went off. I hit the unlock fob and it stops. It actually happened once when I visited the dealer and they offered no explanation or help. I wish someone could explain it. I'm close to getting rid of it

My 2017 Silverado 2500 had a theft display on the dash earlier today. Approx 4 hours later the panic alarm is going off for no reason. Any ideas?

I’m having the same issue with my 2016 Sierra. The dash frequently displays “hood open” although firmly closed, as well as “theft attempted”. All Terrain... too many electronics for its own good. Time to go back to the basics.

Similar issue just happened to me on my 2016 Chevy Silverado.   Keys with fob hanging on a hook in the house, undisturbed.  Truck parked in the driveway.  The Panic Alarm went off twice within 20 minutes.  The first time it seemed to 'time out' before I could get to the fob.   The second time, I hit the fob panic button to cancel, but that did not seem to work.   Hitting the Unlock button on the fob cancelled the Alarm.   No 'Theft Attempted' or other warnings displayed.

Welcome to the site.

 

May want to change the batteries in your fob. Coming up on 5 years old if you have not changed it.

Any update OP?

Welcome to the site.

 

You might want to direct quote the original OP, or start a new thread. You are asking for a response from a 3 plus year old post.

 

Any details you can share about your truck would help too.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
