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.

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
