Have a 2015 Silverado with 39,000 miles on it, the AC is not working. Turn it on and it blows warm air, compressor is not running.

Any TSB about this or any thoughts?

Thanks in advanced.

Your condenser and/or your compressor discharge line are cracked. Congrats. No TSB that I’m aware of. GM has left us for dead on this one.

Go and take a screwdriver or something and depress the needle in the fill to see if there is any Freon in it, I just had to replace the condenser in mine

I thought they had extended the warranty to 60,000 miles on the 15,16, and 17 year models.

Only the Suvs, which makes no sense because they are they same part numbers for the pickups.

Condensor or ac line. VERY common on early ones. Mine went during the Florida summer in 97 degree heatwave. They were overwhelmed with backorders and had no part. It did take a charge and wasa slow leak, so we maintained the freon till the part became available. You will be able to get the part now.

certain vin numbers have a special policy to extend the warranty to 5/60 vs the original 3/36

like the others said, probably the condenser. I replaced my condenser this past Saturday.

I had to replace my condenser on my 2015 GMC sierra yesterday.

 

luckly I have extended warranty on my truck but I had to pay $100 deductible.  Which I think with only 40,000 miles should of been covered completely by GM.

 

I wasnt too happy about that and was hoping that my dealer would of just taken care of the $100 bucks but they didnt want to offer that.    $100 bucks for a dealer would be pennies to keep the customer happy.   So I might be going to another dealer on my next truck purchase.

I was under the same impression. I was told that the 2015 Silverado would be the last truck with the 60k miles or 5 year warranty because they were changing it to 36k miles or 3 years for the 2016 and up model. I need to double check my paperwork but I swear that's what I was told when I bought my 2015 back in October.

I took my truck to the dealer one time and mentioned to them that my AC had stopped blowing cold air. The one guy I talked to said it was probably the compressor and that the part wasn't covered under warranty and I would have to pay out of pocket to have it fixed. Needless to say, I told the guy never mind and left it as is since the weather at the time wasn't too bad. Well now, we're starting to get into the scorching hot temps of summer here in TX and phuk that shit!! I need some AC!! So I called the dealer again today and was told by another service guy that my truck was still under the bumper to bumper warranty and the repair would be covered. Hearing this great news I proceeded to make an appointment for this Thursday, first thing in the morning to drop it off. 

 

So I'm guessing that depending on who you talk to at the dealership, and the mileage on your truck, they will in fact cover the cost and repair under warranty. Granted, I don't think I should have had to speak or call multiple times for the same issue but in the end, GM is fixing it and covering the cost so I'm good with that. 

 

Here's a pic of where my condenser leaked from. It was more noticeable yesterday before it rained over here. You can still see on the side where it kind of looks "wet".

I’m pretty sure this was a very common issue.

I had mine replaced and leaked in same place on my 2014. I think I was at 30k on my truck when that happen.

They admitted it was a huge issue and happening to many truck owners; yet no recall.

      Ok I missed that part that yours is a GM. The strange part is that the choice for year ranges and within the year of 2026 is different on the Sierra then on the Chev for some reason as I am looking at my tool at the Sierra choices. Now I am guessing you see as to your sensor part number as it may be different on your truck for some reason and a call to GM should get you the part model number of the sensors you should have as well as which MHz your sensors are. I know mine are the ones as per what I listed but there are other choices in the Autel and got me wondering if by some chance they put different ones in your truck. Having said that, did you try using each of the choices starting from No 1 and going on down the list, not sure if that would mean shutting off the engine each time and resetting the tool and going at it again each time. Also I thought of something else which may sound retarded but if there was some stupid chance that the chev choice would work. The reason I say that is that the Sierra is showing a range up to 06/2026 for the various choices of sensors it could be where as the Chev has one choice that has that 12/2026. By the way it is possible to not run the truck and you may know that as per not pressing the brake but pressing and holding the start button for a few seconds and it lights up the dash ( its called service mode ) but that sucks battery power and if it were me doing it that way I would be throwing on a decent sized battery charger before doing it that way as killing your battery won't make you happy at me at all !.    Like I say, just a thought to try the Chev choices if you have already exhausted the Sierra choices but first it would be nice to know for sure what exact sensor model and hertz your truck uses as I assume only those choices that mention the sensor would work unless a choice that does not mention the sensor model would somehow work. Its frustrating when one is trying to use tools like this without the experience of the tool and the vehicle, as I am sure dealer techs themselves struggle with it when starting out or a new model year comes along that is slightly different.

      I tried before I updated the scan tool just incase an update messed it up, but it never worked so I updated the scan tool and it still didn't work.   Only difference is I click on Sierra not Chevrolet cause I have a Sierra.   If I click on 2026-2024 I didn't have any option to change placard, when I click on 2023 it does give me the option but when I try to do it,.it says vehicle not supported!   I have my region or market or whatever it is set to America I think, is that what yours is set to?

      Its just that it worked on 2024 trucks on this forum and my 2025 model truck, unless GM did something since that point to screw up access or Autel has a bad update. I haven't had need to use my tool since last year when I did the changes to the placard pressure settings and since then I updated the software on my Autel but have not plugged into the OBD so hard to say if I would get a surprise as well.    All I know last year when I bought the Autel I was warned to be sure to update it before I tried using the unit as they said who knows how long ago unit itself was actually manufactured as the software could be way out of date.

      And so you had gone through the process of registering and updating the tool and so on ?. All I can say is that on the front page as the tool fires up you go to advanced mode, then vehicle model comes up and you choose Silverado ( not the DRW or EV  since your a single rear wheel ) , then I think its choice 2 which is 07/2021 - 12/2026 ( 433mhz 13542523 ) as that is the series of tpms sensors and then go down to choice 5 which is tire type/pressure selection. Hit yes and it says to connect to OBD port and turn ignition on.    Having said this, I updated the software in my tool lately and these year range choices look different from the past due to them doing some updates it would appear and I have not connected up to the OBD port since last year so hopefully I am not in for a surprise with them screwing up the software and that it won't work on my truck anymore either.    So my question is, when you plugged into the OBD and started your truck it had that message on the Autel screen "vehicle not supported" ?. That does seem odd as tire shops would be pissed right off if hey can't use their tool on the model year after mine that in theory is supposed to be much the same truck ... unless GM did some change in the computer system to block certain things from access.

      Understanding and using modern scan tools is its own body of knowledge. I had little hope that would work...programming access to the BCM is probably required and that is not easy for us consumers. Expensive scan tool, GM programming subscription, online authentication, etc.   It also may be a matter of finding the right dealer to program it for you. Flashing a modern BCM might be a little too advanced for most tire shops.
