Same issue... 2019 Custom Trail Boss... @1800 miles, towed to dealer as parking brake would not disengage (computer reprogrammed); 4100 miles, service 4wd and parking brake engaged, was able to get electronic brake to disengage (been at dealer for 2 weeks, replacing actuator and contacts).  Was given a loaner vehicle.  Hoping to get vehicle back soon and that this fix works!

 

11/16/19 -- vehicle still at dealer, waiting on "new connectors"!!!

Any luck? I'm sitting in a parking lot as we speak, with this issue... and I'm mad as hell. Haven't even made my first payment on the truck yet.

Yes, we've had 3 trucks and done them all with no questions asked. Our dealerships always tries to go above and beyond.

1/27/19 @ 5:35 am my truck threw this code.. "Service 4WD" after attempting to switch it from AUTO to 2HI. I was not moving, the truck was in neutral and I had just driven it the day before about 100

No.  They have their fair share of issues.  If you want a truck with fewer issues, go back about 10 years to the GMT-900s (without AFM) or even the GMT-800s.  Find a low millage and you'll have a GREA

I have a 2019 GMC Sierra 1500, with all of the same issues, it started when the truck had approx. 1500 km it, now it has 39,000 km and the issue is ongoing with no resolution in sight. This truck has had 4 recalls on it and the transfer case was one of them, still happening almost every time I use 4 wheel drive. I feel your pain I live in Northern Alberta Canada and there is a reason I bought a truck with 4 wheel drive, because I want/need to use it.

Well this hit me today. Driving on a dirt road about 56*F dry conditions. Switched from auto to 2H just before I hit pavement again and got the service 4wd and the orange light for the indicator. Drove home about 5 miles parks and waited for about 5 mins. I restarted and it’s all still there. I take mine to the dealer tomorrow for warranty work on it. I hope it’s a fast fix but these posts don’t seem good.

I'm starting to wonder with the gm plants shutting down for now if the sensor for mine will ever come in. Lol

Hey Guys,

 

Had the same issue you guys have been reporting, but with a slightly different twist. When I start my truck it gave me the service 4wd message and the 4wd indicator on the dash went yellow. Parking brake engaged. Brought it to the dealer today and the code came back as Transfer Case Control Module C15A9 5A - Range Actuator Position Sensor and Transfer Case Range Position Sensor Not Plausible.

 

They "Fixed It" by reprogramming the TCCM.

 

Less than 12 hours later it reoccured.

 

Is there a fix, and if so what is it???

Mine is the same code. They tried the reprogramming but that didnt work for mine either. They said it's the sensor now but it's been on national backorder since beginning of February.

So i've contacted the dealer and they are have ordered the sensors and expect them in 3-5 days (highly doubt this will happen).

 

I've also reached out to GM customer care and im trying to work something out with them. I'm tired of all the headache of this truck. Are the 20's and better? does anyone have any tips for dealing with them?

Good luck, hopefully the sensors come in as that would mean they are no longer on national backorder. As for dealing with them just be persistent but stay polite, they are a pain in the a**. There go to seems to be just call it a software anomaly Lol.

No.  They have their fair share of issues.  If you want a truck with fewer issues, go back about 10 years to the GMT-900s (without AFM) or even the GMT-800s.  Find a low millage and you'll have a GREAT truck!  Or go get a Crapota Tundra :( Sucks to say that but they have the fewest issues out of Dodge, GM, Ford, and Nissan.

Good for you, sucks for me though mine are still supposedly on national backorder. Lol do you know which sensors they are? Maybe you are getting different sensors replaced.

I'm located in Canada, perhaps the Canadian PDC's had stock and the US is out of stock?

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

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

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
