DING??? DING???

Sean3565 · June 9, 2017

This has happened 2 times now and I do not have a clue what is causing it.... I got in the truck shut the door, fastened seatbelt, started truck and I started to drive away and I hear a ding, I look for some kind of warning or message and I see nothing, a few seconds later another ding, still no message or warning that I can see. Both times I had to completely stop the truck and shut off the engine, to get it to stop dinging. I also pulled the key out of the ignition for a few seconds before I restarted the engine and went on my way with no more dings... Have any of you experienced this or have any idea what is causing it. This is one of thse random things that I will never be able to replicate at the dealer.

How's old is your battery?

Going on one year old. I bought the truck last July.

Hmm I was having funky electric issues in my Sierra, stabillitrack went all wonky, all electronics shut off and restarted while driving on expressway. Tried a few things but replacing the battery fixed issue. Trucks a 2014, battery replaced in early 2017

Any weight in your passenger seat causing a seatbelt warning? Look up on the roof center I believe and see if it's showing the Passenger seatbelt warning.

Mine did the same thing on two occasions this past winter. Weird, but seeing how the dealer would never be able to replicate it, I didn't bother mentioning it.

And no, there was nothing sitting in the passenger seat either time.

My high country turned 1 year old today and I have had the same exact experience twice this week! I've never heard it before and have no clue what caused it either time. I'll be waiting for a solid explanation. Thanks!

Did you.have something on the passenger seat? A few times I had a box of tiles in the passenger seat. So it sets the sensor off because the seatbelt wasn't buckled

Nothing in the seat. It was a single ding with several seconds till the next ding, not like the seat belt ding which is much more annoying by design so you will be more likely fasten your seat belt.

Did you have a phone connected via BT and maybe it was playing alerts through the audio system? Bit of a stretch... But, maybe?

I had the random dings today driving. Dis 3 or 4 random dings over about 30 seconds. On Friday I had my touchscreen gps go black and then get a balcony screen with yellow outline saying waiting for media update. Talked to dealer and they said it might be a push update gm sent out. It went away after about two hours but the random dings started.

I guess I'm not the only one going crazy. At first i thought it had something to do with my braking and acceleration

So this is weird, but in my wife's ATS, if my phone is sitting in the passenger seat, it somehow sets off the sensor and make the car think someone is sitting there and the seatbelt chime goes on. Only does this for my phone, Galaxy S7 and not her Galaxy S8 lol

I have had this several times now and think it is a sequencing problem that is confusing the CPU. I have noticed this happens sometimes after I take the keys out and open the door while forgetting to roll up the windows or turn off the wipers and they are mid swing... I think putting the keys back in and going to the ignition position and rolling up windows without restarting the truck and then removing the keys throws off the normal sequence... next time I start up the truck normally I get the ghost ding until I run through a normal shut down restart sequence.

Just my observation to when I have had the ding but could be anything. My trucks only 3 months old so the battery would need to be defective or have a drain someplace to be causing this issue... and nothing is on the passenger seat in my case either.
