Random “Service front camera” warnings in good weather . Cleaned windshield. Removed camera, cleaned lens. Cleaned inside of windshield, checked wiring. All looks good. Camera is mounted nice and snug.

I bought it a year ago from the dealership. They took care of at least three recalls at that time. I would hope they took care of whatever else needed to be done.its worked without issue until a couple weeks ago

Just because it was updated a year ago when you bought it doesn't mean they haven't come out with updates since.

     I'm not suspecting a wiring problem either, but a schematic will show all of the components and references to locations of the components. Other than the camera, there has to be some sort of control module for this system. I have  gone through countless parts diagrams for this truck and cannot locate a control module or any sensors (radar or something) in the front grill area. Seems unlikely to me that ALL lane departure warning and forward collision alert functions are handled by the camera only.

  I have the option to either bring it to the dealership (root canals are faster and less painful) and be charged $100 -$125 /hour plus parts. The camera alone is over $400.00 plus car rental for each day that they have it. With a schematic, I have a high level of confidence that between myself and 9 other guys that I work with in an electrical engineering department here at work -we can tackle this -only if we had drawings to work with. I'm about to just purchase a set of repair manuals just to get the schematic. Paying the $450.00 for the repair manuals looks like an  economically sound decision vs. bringing the truck to the stealership.

Drop me a PM and I will see if I can come up with what you need.

I also out of the blue got a "service front camera" message and all functions associated are disabled. (collision alert, lane assist) I don't want to pay $400 for the camera myself either and what if that's not even the problem. Did anyone find any solutions or things to check before biting the bullet?

Bringing this back up, as I have the same problem in my 2018.  Taking it in this week, as it's still covered under factory warranty.  My service guy did say that he has seen non-GM aftermarket windshields cause an issue, although my truck is completely as it came from the factory - so not the problem here.  

 

However, I noticed today that a bird has apparently tried to build a nest behind my grill and in front of the radiator on passenger lower side.  I cleaned all that out, haven't checked to see if that corrected it yet, but there is some kind of sensor mounted low behind the grill on that side.  I too would like to know where and what the components of the system are.

My problem turned out to be a bad haptic seat motor. Go figure.

Closest that I've gotten to that, is my RED Light HUD flasher going off with NO ONE in front of me for well over a 1/4 mile.

Anybody got a part number for the front camera?  Dealership said front camera was indeed bad, but on backorder.  Been waiting for almost two months....  Wanna call some other dealers or look online to see if they really are on backorder before I complain.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Why don't I have a good scanner? I've always wanted one when I've needed one.   My latest reading says I don't need to do a relearn on the ckp sensor on a 1995 with OBD 1.5. The relearn is prescribed for the later-model 1995's which shipped with actual OBD II when GM completed the transition in prep for the 1996 MY. I need to confirm that. Did you know forums are disappearing? Knuckleheads on Facebook... it's not the same. It's just not.   So, scanners. Again, shooting myself in the foot for having eBayed my Snap On MT2500 "brick" with all the adapters. Not that I couldn't buy another but those are getting quite old, and mine wasn't new enough to work on 2000's vehicles.   Damn it (as I'm scanning my email between paragraphs here). Did you know there's a 2000 Jimmy 2-door on BaT that's ending this morning? It's local. I want it. 14k miles. Absolutely beautiful.   Back to scanners. MT2500's are old. Solus, now that could be a contender. There's a ~2008 Verus with a system error that's basically new in box for cheap. Hmm...I'm not sure about a scanner that runs an archaic version of windows (95 or CE, I can't tell).   I want the ability to reset and rotate TPMS, test individual modules, bleed ABS, electronic parking brake controls for servicing brakes, relearn procedures and other bidirectional controls.   Snap On does an MT2600. It's a new model as of last year, marketed as their "entry" scanner. Entry? Only where $1900 gets you through the doorway plus, I'm guessing, $1000/year if you wish to keep it current. So goes scan tools actually designed for production environments. Want decent products with excellent support, you pay for it.   Everyone is raving about Autels and TopDons and Foxconns and all these newer brands that are selling the $500 "prosumer" scanners for backyard hacks like me. They're tempting...honestly. Updates are cheaper, base prices are remarkably cheaper... And you get to deal with bugs and translation whoopsies and, well, just don't use it on anything expensive, OK? Having a dealer replace an ECU because it needs to be re-imaged after an adventure in scanning is no joke. But I think most people are getting by OK with these units.   eBay on a scratch-and-sniff pro-model oldie, a shiny new TopDon, or???   God dang it, I can't stop looking at this Jimmy. I'm ready! I'll Bring The TRailer! It's beautiful.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      I removed the OE running boards.  It looked so much better.  I wish I took them off a long time ago.     I had to put something back on for my wife.  I wanted Westin Sure Grip Running Boards but they are very pricey, like $600 plus.  I was going to go with the Ionic 41's like I had on the 2019 Silverado but went with Westin Outlaw Drop Steps instead, about $200 cheaper.  They are sturdy and functional but not super crazy about the look, but it works.

      Disable DRL's

      By fondupot · Posted

      I had a Gen5DIY DRL relocate harness from a 2022 1500 that I saved. I had Gen5DIY modify the harness for my 2024 Silverado 2500. Plug n Play, worked perfectly.    Here's a video I made for the 2022 1500 truck. The install is more or less the same on a 2500.    The harness relocates the DRL tot he top amber turn signal on my 2500.

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.
