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!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I just can't think of the exact term GM uses for that higher gvw package without looking at the website but basically sort of a trailering package and I imagine it may also have been created to skirt around the licensing fee differences between a3/4 and 1 ton that apply in some states although ironically I believe in some states its the reverse that a 1 ton is the cheaper truck to license over a 3/4 ton. It makes no difference here in Alberta but oddly enough a 1 ton through my insurance company is a bit cheaper to insure over a 3/4 ton as its based on the insurance statistics they generate.    For sure when ever you do have the chance to weigh your truck and to be fair, try to have the fuel tank full or nearly so rather than give yourself a false sense of the truck being lighter by having an almost empty tank.    In my other comment I was mentioning stock sized tires and partly in case someone was reading this and thinking they could lower their pressure down to what your aftermarket tires are able to do with your empty truck as that is a vastly different picture in the leeway you have to play with for running minimum pressures while remaining safe. I will say also that its easy to see from reactions of truck owners that may have been more used to owning a half ton in the past or a car and be it on a forum like this or in person etc that they get so wrapped up in that placard pressure sticker that they can't get their head wrapped around the fact that an HD truck due to how much it can carry can also vary the tire pressures drastically lower than those pressures ( typically more so for the rear axle on stock sized tires ) when empty vs some car that isn't made to carry much so the tire pressures can't be lowered since it needs almost that much pressure just to carry the empty car.    If I ever do find myself in the states with this truck, I will only be too happy to switch it over to the US measuring system as then I will understand all the dash readings. The only thing that is off for me slightly with US measurements is US miles per gallon as I grew up with the Imperial gallon and to this day up here anyway speak in Imperial miles per gallon ( I don't do that on this forum though as that would confuse everyone for no good reason ).

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page
