front center parking sensors act up sometimes.

ill be stooped and it will just start going off.

doesn't happen consistently.

 

no its not blocked by something.

no its not wet.

 

 

is it as simple as a bad sensor?

On my ‘16 I got the message in my DIC to check my sensors and (if I recall correctly) neither the fronts not backs worked.  

 

Took it it to the dealer.   One in front bumper was bad.   Swapped and I rolled.   All good.  Warranty.

I had one bad sensor on my 2017. Every time I would wash it or drive in the rain I would have issues for a day or so. I took it to the dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong, Went back to the car wash and got the same problem. I took it back and showed them the pics of the messages I was getting and told them to wash the truck. They ended up changing one sensor and all has been fine since.

Same thing was happening on my 16. Dealer found a TSB and reprogrammed. It stopped the issue, but I noticed that it no longer beeps with every increase of the "sonar" waves on the DIC. It only beeps when I'm in the final/"red" zone. Don't really like how it operates now.

well i finally figured it out

 

i swapped the inside sensors to the outside and outside to the inside. and now the right sensor is randomly going off. 

so i ordered a replacement from advance auto for $30 shipped to my door. $43 regular with 25% off and a $5 coupon.

 

oem one is like $140 so ill give the aftermarket one a shot.

So the one from advance is identical to oem both are bosch one just has a GM logo and part number. 

So no reason to buy the GM one for 4 times the price at advance Auto.

Don't paint over paint like you have. If ill form a solid connection to the side of the sensor. Try scratching the paint off in a ring around the sensor head to fix it. Also water in the housing area is known to cause problems. Try taking the sensor out cleaning the housing , sensor and silicone ring and puting it back together.

Do you happen to have the part number they used? I'm having the same issue but am getting different part numbers!

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
