Had my AT4 serviced today and they reprogrammed BCM according to service bulletin # PIT5651B.  This also supposedly fixes the climate control showing off on the screen when it's on.

Same message on my 2019 AT4 comes on when I turn the truck off. Took it to the dealer and they replaced the module and reprogramed it. It was fine for a few days and its back on again. I guess I will be taking it back.  Service writer acted like he has never heard of it.

This happened to me 3-4 days ago. About 1400 miles on the truck.  (2020 Silverado 3.0). While waiting in the 40-minute line to exit the parking garage at work — was on the decline from 3rd floor to 2nd floor. I put the truck in park, and could not get it out of park when the line moved again.  No amount of rotating the steering wheel (it moved freely) helped. I shut off/restarted the truck. Still stuck. (Started to get nervous at this point). I released the brake pedal and pressed it to the floor. No good. 
 

Finally, I turned on the parking brake, that freed it instantly (also, I prayed). Thank God, otherwise there would have been a massive amount of teed-off people stuck behind me waiting on a tow. 
 

There were no warning lights. I had remote-started the truck with the key fob (not the app). 

 

Has not happened since, but this morning, on start up on level ground, the “service steering column lock” warning appeared on the DIC for 2 seconds and disappeared. No other symptoms, just the warning. 
 

If I take it in now, pretty sure the dealer “won’t be able to replicate,” and it’ll be a big waste of time.

Just had this thing lock up on me again. Stopped at a light in traffic, put the truck in park so that I could pick up something that had fallen on the passenger-side floor. Stupid, stupid, stupid move. 
 

Truck would not go back into drive! Steering wheel moved freely, no amount of cycling the ignition or turning on the parking brake or pumping the brakes would release the interlock. 

 

Thought I was going to break the shifter.
 

Finally called OnStar (to see if they could offer a remedy or send a wrecker) while on hold with them, the damn thing released! After 3 traffic light cycles and several pi$$ed off people around me (rush hour). It was an awesome experience!


I had released the tilt/telescope lever and while moving the steering wheel violently around, the interlock released. 

 

Guess it’s going in for service next week. Not even 2k miles!

 

It’s a 2020, so much for waiting for them to work out the “first-year bugs” LOL.

Made an appointment to take the truck in, of course 2 days before the appointment the message disappeared on it’s own and hasn’t come back.  Hope this isn’t a reoccurring issue...

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

      I just bought one of these.   https://www.topdon.us/collections/diagnostic-tools/products/artidiag-pro   Yeah, it`s got a cable. $250/year after 2 years. Do I want more? Yep. But, I`m not working any more and can`t afford a whirlpool in my tool box.

      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.
