Has anyone had the lighting level of the Infotainment screen occasionally not brighten in the daylight or not dim in the evening? Seems only to happen at the first "changover" after first started. After that first cycle/start it works automaticly as it should. When it doesn't brighten or darken as required, I manually cycle the dash brightness toggle till it is visible in the daylight or not blinding at night. Most times it works correctly.

Sometimes it takes a few minutes for the ambient light detector in the top-middle of your dash to detect the light level at vehicle start-up. I use the remote start feature often and remove the sunshade I use in the front windshield after pressing the start button to run the vehicle. It always takes a few minutes for the instrument/ infotainment brightness to adjust to the ambient light. It’s an engineered delay to prevent excessive dimming cycles when passing under overpasses in daylight and under street lights at night.

We appreciate your honest feedback in regards to your infotainment screen brightness, Bob. To clarify, have you brought this to the attention of your servicing dealership? We hope to hear back from you soon with an update.

Anthony, thanks for your interest but during the present holiday season, the Infotainment screen will have to wait till the new year. It did happen again this AM, the next time it comes up I'm going to let it try to correct itself and see how long that takes.

Appreciate your help.

This same thing happens to my 19 Z71 almost every day. It’s quite frustrating. Dealer has never heard of it happening. I haven’t scheduled an appointment yet for them to troubleshoot.

When changing from day to night - I can just tap the +\- button down once, and the dash and infotainment go to the appropriate ‘night’ setting. Doesn’t work the other way around though. I drove for almost an hour and it didn’t change to day mode. Also interesting that it doesn’t happen when just going ‘dark’ for a short time like a tunnel or garage. Mine also seems to only do it when starting the truck.   Like if starting it up in the morning after parking it in the dark. If I’m actively driving when the sun goes down, it usually changes over fine.

Z71NY nailed it. That is exactly what mine does. You can get the darn thing to "wake up" in the morning by turning the light knob to off then back to automatic.

 

The dealer didn't have a clue when I mentioned this to them 6 months ago, but they did suggest I purchase some mudflaps and clearcoat protectant!

Did the dealership fix this issue after almost a year?

the screen is washed out when I  back up and I can"t find out how to get some contrast so I can see items better.  No one knows how to adjust the contrast of the image .

It’s a common issue. I had it on my 2019 but it appears to be fixed on my 2020. My Dealer never was able to fix it.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.

      from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
