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.

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.

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
