NO, daytime in AUTO, the headlights are OFF, even with the turn signal stock in HIGH BEAMS.  When you turn the wipers on, after a few seconds, your headlights will turn ON and be able to notice it, because the HIGHs are ON, because the HIGH BEAM indicator will come on.

Ah, makes sense, thanks, Chris! :)

My 2018 has an anti-sleep function and built-in seat and steering wheel massage.   To activate the anti-sleep function, just get up to cruising speed on the highway.  The vibrating and deep

I couldn't figure out what what going on when my high beams started turning on by themselves, I later found out that if you double tap the brights it turns the auto high beam feature on/off.

Figured this one out today. Found I was getting an oil change notice every time I started the truck. I have only had it a couple of weeks and the oil seems clean and I see on the Car fax that the oil was changed within a couple of hundred miles, so I reset the oil percentage on the DIC and no more chimes on startup.

I forgot to add that my remote start did not work twice so I thought it may have had something to do with the low oil percentage It did.

Reset the oil percentage and remote start works again.

Your RS wouldn't work because you needed to reset the oil change?

Yeah, I don’t understand that either, why if it wouldn’t let you start remotely was it letting you start it normally?  Maybe to draw the driver’s attention to service needing to be done.  
 

@No Tyme, was the “CEL” on?  I know the remote start will not work with CEL on.

Started fine with key... Only thing I know is that I had twice tried to remote start and it didn't work and when I finally reset the 9% oil message at startup in the DIC it has worked since. My Car Fax showed oil change at the selling dealership and it looked clean so I am assuming the tech didn't reset the reminder. It must trigger a reminder at 10% and I think that is why my remote start didn't work... I am assuming this but haven't seen anyone verify that is what was happening.

On the new Kia, you can change that from 3 to 5 to 7.

If your truck is parked and unlocked, you open the door and hit the lock button to say lock your doors w/o the key the chime will be heard and then about 10 seconds later the doors will actually lock.

I found this by accident when i was leaving and noticed my doors unlocked, keys in the house and i tried locking it and closing the door but i heard the chime and nothing happened so i figured it wasnt working.

As i was launching my OnStar app to lock the doors the horn sounded and doors locked.

 

Not sure what will happen if you left your keys inside the truck

On 2014 Silvy, it locks up tight and then you call AAA to get both sets of keys and your cell out of the truck. That pause before it locks is just long enough to let you realize you didn't mean to lock it yet!

Is this on 2016 models? I have a 2016 2500hd wt 6.0. having issues been checking relays. Curious to test if anyone knows when this started much appreciated

On that same Kia if you have a plow on the Silverado it is probably enjoyable launching the kia in a parking lot with no one in that vehicle and owning the vehicle and alleged lot. Kia bowling... But isn't this gm haha should have expected that

I agree. I don't think this is the case man or gal. I'd look into your connection to ignition, ACC, ground, etc etc and anyone at via multimeter and CLEAN GROUND. Chasis works well. That does sound interesting but I would be careful and checked that out too. Probably worth it

Wait. Do you know the circuit for this I guess for lack of knowing the term of it, 'Wiper Detection Circuit. And any ties with lights that would be incredibly helpful I imagine to not just me especially for plow owners

I know if the hood isn't fully closed, or has a bad switch, the remote start won't work. Also if you have remote started twice before normally starting the truck, the remote also won't work. My biggest gripe is that each remote start will only run for 10 mins at a time. I wish that was adjustable as well as being able to remote start as many times as I choose without having to start normally in between...

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
