Keyless remote and TPMS not working

Last October we received a lot of rain and water penetrated interior, pillar and sun visor. I took to the dealer and they replaced the satellite antenna.  

At the beginning of the year I would get calls from OnStar that the theft deterrent alarm was triggered. I would go outside or wherever I was and would look and the alarm was NOT going off. The dash did say theft deterrent system activated. This went on for several months and would happen like every 2 weeks. 

On April 4 on our way out of town, we stopped at a store and the suburban would not lock or unlock using remotes. I manually locked suburban and upon using the hidden key in remote to open the door, the alarm went off. After alarm cycled off, of course it would not start. I figured maybe it was a low or dead vehicle battery. I called dealer and they said it sounds like a dead battery, so I had a friend nearby come and we jump started the suburban. I drove to dealer and sure enough the battery was very low and they replaced it. After leaving I got a code on dash about  "remotes not programmed" then it went away. As we got on the interstate to leave, I lost the psi readings and it showed all lines. So I pulled off the interstate and checked the psi in all tires and they read good. The remotes still didn't lock or unlock suburban. So back to the dealer I went and they could not find the problem. It's been there for 3 weeks now and they have replaced different modules such as RCDLR, remote receiver module, BCU and other modules,  onstar antenna and cannot find or figure what the issue is.  I asked them to please call Chevy and see if an engineer can figure out problem. First they said my aftermarket window tint was not allowing remote signals in, seriously after having my suburban for 3 years now they claim its the tint?

Anyone out there encountered this issue?

They're full of crap by saying it's the tint.  Have them test the stuff with the windows down if they think it's the tint.

I'm curious if you ever figured this out. I'm having the exact same problem in my 2015 Yukon XL.

Have you found out the problem I have the same problem on my vehicle

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      No I didn’t watch a video of a person who analyzes oil for a living explain general oil usage. For clarity I did ask my brothers one who runs our equipment business. The other who runs our old ROW business about oil usage. Nothing has changed since I retired. Their personal vehicles or work vehicles use no oil. Not enough to see on the oil checking device. Then I pondered. I like to ponder. In this extended oil changing world with oil change countdowns or lights. If engines used say a qt every 2500 miles or up to even 4000 miles. With oil changes reaching as high as 15000 miles. Normal for most people is eight to ten. Vehicles should potentially be seizing up all over the place. Especially in hilly terrain. Just how many people actually check their oil? Maybe 10 percent. Those are the people that probably change their oil early. I like to research used car listings. I have five favorite dealers I check. They all list carfax with their listing. It’s rare to see vehicles with anything but extended oil changes. Transmission service, forget about it. I’ve seen Honda and Toyota certified vehicles up to 100K miles and ten years old. With nothing but normal maintenance. Isn’t nice we all have different experiences and believe our way is the best. You certainly get backup for whatever you believe. Life would be boring otherwise.

      RUMOR / INSIDER: 2027 Silverado Dealer Reveal NEXT WEEK

      By RobbertClaus · Posted

      Interesting rumor. Dealers near me have been tight-lipped so far, but if this reveal actually happens next week, I'm really hoping they finally give the HD a proper interior overhaul. The competition has been eating their lunch in the cabin department for a while now.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well.   I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing.

      Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption.   Shut up and watch:
