Talked to dealer yesterday.  Even knowing they say the fix will be ready in 7-11 days, they said that could be 30 days in GM time.  If anyone has gotten the reprogramming this week, has it worked? They also gave me what fuses to pull to stop this issue. These fuses are for the Power Source and Trailer Integration.  If you are going to be pulling anything, you CAN NOT pull these fuses, but is you are not you can.  The fuse numbers are 74 and 82.  I have not done this as of yet, if anyone does, can you post if this resolves this issue.  Wish GM would come out with a common message for everyone instead of giving different people different messages. 

So 74 and 82 are OK to pull

Same issue here. Less than 600 miles on 2019 1500. It's at the dealer for the second time in less than three weeks (2 of those weeks it wasn't driven). Took it out in the snow five blocks to grab a bi

@Opiedeegs according to the Service Manager I talked to, those fuses are alright to pull, if you are not pulling anything.  I am not sure what will work and what wont after pulling them, but it will take care of the issue of all the alerts popping up after temp drops below 20.

So we can’t pull trailers now? Clearly if this fixes the issue they need to replace some wiring and connectors. 

The service tech called me with the same BS about pulling fuses. Have appt tomorrow for them to look at it, for the forth time!!!

Yeah no way we should have to pull fuses on a 60k dollar truck to make it drivable. Heading to the dealer in the morning to see if there’s any new developments.

This is crazy

One of the main reasons I bought this truck is to pull a 22 foot inline aluminum snowmobile trailer in cold weather conditions

Very busy this year otherwise I would have used the trailer several times by now

Maybe they just make these trucks for soccer moms in the desert. Lol. 

Its really hard to see how they would even suggest pulling fuses. Think about it, the system has been identified so just replace it. they are being short sighted, what is the cheapest thing we can do. They could think, we want repeat buyers, so we are going to fix this now

My truck went in and came back yesterday with the "new fix". I am out of town so the wife took it in. She said the error popped up that morning and she did not experience that evening when they brought it back to her. I get back tomorrow and temps are supposed to be below 20 all weekend so I'll get it out this weekend for a better test.  Ironic this fix showed up right after I had a buy back request submitted and the attorney general's letter arrived at the dealership (submitted a complaint online to start procedures around the lemon law).  I am going to assume that since they are telling others 7-10 days that I may be part of their QA process on the new program... or they just took it in to buy some time. At this point neither would surprise me. 

Please let me know if their fix worked when you get back to driving your vehicle.

I was couple hours away from purchasing a new AT4 today until I found this form/thread.

 

took the truck for a 2nd test drive and see it popping up. Asked him about it and he said he'd never seen it before or heard of it.

 

I walked away... too bad really liked the truck, but not worth what ya'll are going through.

Well I hope GM is reading this thread and watching their sales float away. A lot of dealers and sales guys know nothing of the issue because they haven’t sold a whole lot of these yet. Especially the higher end ones that have this “feature”.

 

My dealer didn’t know of any updates to fix this issue yet as of this morning. They promised to call me, GM promised to call me, so I guess I just sit and wait.

That being said, my truck did not do it at all today, and it was 14 degrees. Maybe just dumb luck...

Mine was in the shop for what was supposed to be 4-5 hrs. Now a day or two. They now say the audio module behind the back seat needs replacement. It can cause many  alerts. Also, there is a module mounted on the backside of the FREE-KIN bumper that has mud on it. That caused the side detection to fail! What we can’t get mud or water on our trucks? GM get off ur duff and move this!!!  WOW! Proud of the dealer telling the truth.

So the salesman called me today saying that GM have solved this issue with a software update (seems suspicious that the day after I said I wasn’t going to buy the truck that they magically found the solution) and that other dealership will be getting the news on Monday.

 

I asked for details about the update and he couldn’t tell me anything.

 

has anyone else heard anything ?

A software fix has been released. I have been pushing hard on this for the last two months and received a call this past Monday. You can look back and see that another individual received the same information that day as well from his dealer. My truck went in on Tuesday but I was out town so I have just been home for two days. No issues so far - but the temps have been above 22 (seems to be the magic number for my truck). This weekend we are getting back down into the single digits so I will see how it goes. 

 

As suspicious as it seems I believe it was just lucky timing that dealer was able to give you that response. What we don't know is if this software fix has been fully regression tested and will alleviate the issues.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?

      There's a bunch of tea leaves that you've read, but in any case the delayed timing is unusual. Not sure how that relates to the rich at idle vs. 'normal' while driving.   If you're in this deep, might be worth investigating, and re-learning the sensor. What have you got to lose? Plus, it properly fixes the timing cover leak.
