That's because you were sitting in it. The vehicle knows this.

The vehicle knows the key fob is in it.  I dont have to be.

I have insurance for that and my dog inside the truck just may prevent them anyway! There are others who have much more dire reasons for wanting a way around this function.

Yes, a manual override, or reprogramming, should be an option to the vehicle owner.  What would be the case for a K-9 Police vehicle?

Can you lock the truck with the secondary fob inside or do you leave it unlocked and rely on your dog as a deterrent to someone taking off in it? 

I don't believe that it will lock with the fob inside if your not in it.

My 2017 GMC Yukon Denali will lock with the key fob inside.  I found out the hard way that the engine shuts off after a certain time.   I almost lost two dogs due to this “safety feature” We left the dogs in the running truck with ac on.  It was 92 degrees out, luckily went back to check on them and the truck had shut off.  We were very fortunate they were ok.

GM has a fix but it has to be government owned vehicle. So stupid. I’m a fireman, truck is used for official business, and I still can’t get it turned off. Nothing like shutting a road down, (emergency lights on) walking away from the truck, to almost get hit by cars who have gone around the “truck with no lights on parked in the middle of the road”. “It’s a safety feature” They said.

If you're using OnStar it will keep running. If you have the fob with you my 2020 Terrain will run 1 hour. If you put in in drive and return it to park in less than an hour it will reset the timer. If your fob is in the car you can lock from either the outside or inside with the other fob.

I was told it is due to people pulling into their garage and, with not having to remove a key, they forget and leave the vehicle running.  For me, that "benefit" does not outweigh the inconvenience to being able to leave my truck running when sitting in hot weather.  There should be an option.

This is 100% correct. You might want to ask a tuner if they can turn that feature off.

It's discussed in the "extended parking" section of owners manual as mentioned.  Just buckle your seat belt, or try using one of the seat belt alarm silencers.  They are literally just the male buckle portion of a seat belt and can be had for as little as $2.

I was able to get mine fixed at dealership.  2020 Sierra 2500 AT4. They had to flash the computer.

HOW.  I TALKED TO THREE DEALERS AND THEY ALL SAID NOT ABLE TO DO.

So I may have found a solution to this issues after going round and round with GM.  There is an after market part called a Pulsar LT that will disable the auto start and stop.  From what there tech told me the idle stop feature is tied into this.  So when that is disabled with the Pulsar it will disable the idle stop.  When I get the money for it, that's my next purchase.  Can't have my truck shutting down when I'm shutting down a highway with my emergency lights.  POC Firefighter / Paramedic.

Just finished installing the pulsar LT and it doesn't appear to work to shut off the idle feature.  Still going round and round with GM about getting this damn feature turned off.

      Sugar Bears 2015 GMC Terrain SLE-2 2.4 AWD

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔

      cam upgrade in CA

      By AidenVorpagel · Posted

      hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      Update. I started chasing down my symptoms. Started first with pulling valve covers and looked at everything. Everything looked good and couldn't hear or feel anything different. Then a compression test. 240 psi or really close on each cylinder. I was worried I was a tooth off of timing. Not bad for an engine with 173,000. Granted I did put new heads on. I sprayed water around the injector area to see if I could hear a change. Nothing. I hooked up my new hp tuner which I should have done in the first place but I don't really know what I'm looking at just yet but am learning. I noticed the fuel trims were way off so that told me I have to have either a bad injector or exhaust leak. New injectors, so I did the shop vac on blower and in the tail pipe. Sprayed soapy water and found the exhaust flange on the drivers side was leaking. I didn't think it would be that considereding I pulled the heads and left the manifolds attached. I did have the transmission replaced not long ago. They must have not seated them properly but I guess I didn't notice. I put in new gaskets on both sides. Which by the way isn't a bad job but I had a hard time getting them to seal right. Took two attempts. Reset the fuel trims and the ticking is gone, engine runs smooth and acceleration has improved. Got to feel the real difference with that stage 1 cam. It's not that big of a difference but it does add a little more. It feels like how the truck should have been from the factory.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.
