Front USB port charging issue

Has anyone had any issues with the front dash usb ports charging very slowly?  I notice when I use the front ports the phone charges very slowly but when I use the console or the rear ports it charges fine using the same wire.  I used an app on my phone that is supposed to show charging info, I don't know how accurate it is but these were the results:

 

Wireless: 4.88 watt and 977 mA

Front USB: 4.07 watt and 814 mA

Centre console: 8.14 watt and 1629 mA

Back seat: 12.21 watt and 2443 mA 

 

It shows that the front ports charge slower than the wireless charger.  It's also strange that the charging increases as you go farther back in the truck, you would think it would be the other way around.

 

I brought it in and got the ole "working as intended" spiel.  The tech said he plugged his phone into each port and they charged at the same speed.  Not sure how he actually measured that but whatever.

 

Truck is a loaded 19 AT4.  PFA

I have noticed that the front port charges very slowly as well, never gets into "fast" charging.  Which USB port have you tried in the front?  I've only tried the standard USB and not USB-C yet, that is my next step.

Yes, I have the same problem with the usb port. It almost drains the battery of my cell phone rather than charging it. I have a 2020 Chevrolet 2500 FWD Diesel. I even turned the usb-c port over to see if that would change anything. It did not change anything!

I found this online:  https://my.chevrolet.com/content/dam/gmownercenter/gmna/static/pageImages/learnAbout/articles/documents/GM_Wireless_Charging_Compatible_Device.pdf 

 

This shows me my cell phone Galaxy S20 Ultra 5g is incompatible with my Chevrolet's cell phone charging system. Galaxy

's technical department says the phone is too new to work on the 2020 pickup!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Glad that worked, and in this case that is all on Autel for somehow dropping the ball for not updating the GMC section properly.    I believe in the basic section or unless it is in the advanced, when one does a check of lets say individual sensors for what the pressure is ( and it shows a temperature as well ) , I think it picks up on what the model number of the sensor is in a certain section where you choose "OE" sensor or at least mine is telling me what the model number is and matches to what they actually are and that is the number I quoted in a prior post.    I don't recall now if I had said prior that I discovered with my truck anyway that no matter how low I set the placard pressure for the rear tires, if the physical pressure is under 35 psi and I drive it for about 15 miles the pressure warning will come on for one or both rear tires. I am speculating that there is something else in the trucks system that over rides the placard pressure setting once it drops below that minimum pressure to run a metric LT tire at. The weird thing is it does not trigger right away after driving a shorter distance, it took that longer drive for it to trigger. Just something to keep in mind if you were experimenting with pressures below 35 pounds for a tire designed for lower pressures ( larger than stock floatation series tires ) and not being overloaded of course.

      I've seen a scant few YT vids on them, but it's always in a performance application.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      No clue. Service advisor said he'd call me this morning, which I'm 99% sure won't happen. They had the truck 5 days, and I didn't hear a peep. Finally had to call them yesterday. I guess they'd be content to just let the truck sit in perpetuity.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      I had a little bit of time before I left for work this morning, so I plugged the scanner back in, and I selected Chevrolet Silverado instead of GMC Sierra, and the very first option was for a 2026 so I selected that one and I seen at the bottom it had the option for psi change unlike in the 2026 GMC Sierra, I selected that option and it took a little longer than the usual vehicle not supported, and sure enough I got into it, and it let my change the psi values.. I no longer have the low psi warning light!   Thank you for recommending me to try it under Chevrolet instead! I can confirm this device does work for a 2026 GMC Sierra 2500 hd 6.6 diesel  just have to select Chevrolet Silverado instead of GMC Sierra.   Maybe I'll contact Autel and let them know of that issue and maybe they will fix it for the GMC option  because some people probably return the scanner due to it not working under GMC Sierra.
