Hey guys. Anyone having problems with there key fob. I keep getting a key fob not detected on both sets of fobs. Called the dealer they say to put fob in the centre console cup holders to reset fob, but when I do my keyless entry stop and I can’t lock the truck. And the fob won’t open or lock the truck. Any thoughts.

Had something similar happen on my 2011 Cts coupe within a couple hundred miles of driving it.  Key fobs were real weak, to the point that I'd have to put them in the Fob slot.  And when I'd press the door popper from the outside (no door handles on the coupes) it would pop the trunk.  

 

They replaced the computer for the keyless entry and I never had another problem for over 210k miles. Took less than a couple hours.

Thanks, the truck is going in on Tuesday.the fob needs to be constantly in the slot or the truck doesn’t recognize the fobs. The keyless entry only works on the passenger side of the truck. We shall see what the dealer says on Tuesday. I hope this truck isn’t a nightmare like my 14 was.

Did you ever get this resolved? If so, what was the issue? My truck does not detect my fob but all other functions on the fob work correctly such as lock/unlock, remote start, & tailgate release. Nothing is making sense.

Cooter Brown,

Did you ever get this issue resolved, 2021 Sierra AT4 is doing the same thing. Key fob will work all functions remotely but truck will not detect fob for push button entry or start. My service department is currently unable to get it working.

Hi There im having the same issues here, 23,000 miles on my 2020 Trail boss Silverado and im not sure if I accidentally pressed some buttons in my remote that messed up something. but.  when I try to start it says that there's no detection of remote and then tells me to put fob in slot but I have to hold start button and press brake for a while to start.  haven't had any issues until now.  and  Tire pressure monitor system stop working and light came on in the dash.  Don't know if this is related.    Got home and pulled out my xtra FOB control and also did not work.  Remote start will not work, can't even get door locks to work with the remote.   Does any one know what's going on.  Would hate to take it to dealer and spend who knows how many days waiting for them to fix it.   Im going to check for fuses and try to find a way to maybe figure it out.

There are two different antennas that work with the keyfob. One for the distance functions (remote start, unlock, lock, panic, tailgate release) and another for proximity functions (door unlock/lock buttons). The antenna for the proximity functions is located in the center console/jump seat.

 

If you've recently done a center console/jumpseat swap, it's likely that you either didn't plug the harness back in properly or that the antenna in the new jumpseat/center console is missing/damaged.

 

If you've made no recent modifications, there has been a few instances where there were issues with the keyfobs and how they were programmed. Your dealer should be able to reprogram them to fix it.

Not center console or other, found active water leaking in channel in back window (had taken it in last winter because inside windows would actually ice up in winter and they couldnt find leak) and I started having some electrical issues then and told them.

 

There are 2 SB's that cover my issues EXACTLY: 

 

1) 18-NA-383 August 2020

     Water Leak at Rear Sliding.  Window

     (IT SAYS FOR 2019'S BUT A BUNCH OF 2020S HAVING SAME EXACT SAME PROBLEM)

 

2) 16-NA-061 December 2017

     Service Tire Monitor System/Tire Pressure Display Dashes/RKE Short Range/No Fob Detected Message

     (IT SAYS.ONLY GMC YUKON 2015-2018 MODELS AFFECTED)

 

I had to look online and find these SB's myself. Of course, when I took it in to dealer last winter (and it was still under the Bumper to Bumper warranty) they couldn't find anything.

 

Taking it in tomorrow with both service bulletins in hand, but they have already said I have to pay for it myself and try to deal with GM after the fact. Will post update

I have a 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 Duramax, my issue is the dash will not light up when entering the truck, or it will say "Remote Learn Pending", either one will not allow me to start the truck. The dealer said it was the Fobs and at my expense replaced both of them which I questioned. Problem is still happening. 

 

I can however unlock/lock the doors, remote start from 200' but cannot release the controls once inside to be able to operate the truck. 

 

any ideas or other peeps having same or similar issues?

Driver door window master switch.  We had a truck do this.  There is a PI on it to test the window switch, door harness and the door latch.  We put a latch and harness in this truck, but the window switch is what fixed it.  

 

Dealer can pull it up, PIT5860.

I have a 2019 Sierra 1500.  Very intermittent issue with the push button start not working. All functions on the key fob will work, however the push button start will not work. OnStar says this is an on going issue with GM.  This happens to both keys.

Is it possible that this is part of the Chevy PIT5860 SB?

 

This is very frustrating.  Thanks for your help!

      Some Assembly is Required

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
