I know most people on here would see this as a blessing, but i am one of the few that actually likes the feature - i took in my RST over the weekend for its first oil change, and drove yesterday with the AC off for the first time since (live in PHX), i then noticed that the Auto Stop feature wasn't kicking in. DIdnt think much of it so this morning, another sub 95 degree morning i decided to roll with the windows down and no AC - and still the Auto Stop isn't working. Any ideas?

Looks like there are lots if reasons:   The climate control settings require the engine to be running to cool or heat the vehicle interior. The vehicle battery charge is low.

I disconnected my battery (positive terminal) last night for roughly a minute or so, then reconnected.  Today, start/stop did not work.  The manual states it will not function if the battery was disco

Check for a loose engine ground cable. https://gm-techlink.com/?p=12383 Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk

Yes, you can only temporarily shut it off from what I've read - and this gets reset every time the truck is shut off.

Looks like there are lots if reasons:

 

The climate control settings
require the engine to be running
to cool or heat the vehicle
interior.

The vehicle battery charge
is low.

The vehicle battery has recently
been disconnected.

Minimum vehicle speed has not
been reached since the last
Auto Stop.

The accelerator pedal is
pressed.

The engine or transmission is
not at the required operating
temperature.

The outside temperature is not
in the required operating range.

The vehicle is in any gear other
than D (Drive).

Tow/Haul Mode or other driver
modes have been selected.

The vehicle is on a steep hill or
grade.

The driver door has been
opened or the driver seat belt
has been unbuckled.

The hood has been opened.


The Auto Stop has reached the
maximum allowed time.

Check to see if some bum helped themself to your new battery when it was in for the oil change.  It's been known to happen.

I got the same problem. I do like this feature but it stop working now.  I know it will disable when the outside temperature too low. But now Its about 35- 45f. So I wondering what is going on with my new Silverado 1500 2019

I don't care much for it but it seems to be random. I noticed it doesn't do that a couple minutes after starting the car. Sometimes I don't drive it for weeks and notice it takes longer for the autostop to kick in. I am assuming it needs to engine to feed the battery up. It's just a guess, I don't know. I don't drive it much anymore, probably 3,000 miles a year. It is no longer used at the ranch.

I have a new 2019 Sierra that the Auto Stop did not work after the first 500 miles. I have had it in the shop 4 separate times and the GM techs cannot figure it out.  Each time GM resets it and it works for 300 miles or less then stops working again. Now this is strange as we got 6” of snow and the first time I put the truck in 4x4 I noticed the Auto Stop started working after I shifted back to 2 wheel drive. Truck has 16,000 miles and I will let the dealer know that it is working now but hopefully it is not a problem in the future.

Same here after my first oil change along with the 2 recalls all done in one appointment, it stopped working for me. It’s hovering around -5C or so here but don’t now if that’s the threshold. 
 

Update:  So after a two days, Stop/Start is working again.  Even in around -12C feels like -20C according to local weather reports.

This is not very scientific, but I've noticed this happening lately too. I'm in North Florida (Southern border of GA, a few hard freezes a year, some frost, etc) and since it's been cooler it hasn't seemed to auto stop. Again, not scientific, but that's what I've been noticing.

I only have around 150 miles so far but the autostop feature on this 2019 6.2 10spd is a lot more noticeable than in my 2009 Tahoe Hybrid with 217k miles on it. I will have to research how they are restarting the engine in these newer products but whatever it is, it is not nearly as smooth as the Hybrid Tahoe from 10 yrs ago.

It uses the starter in a traditional manner.  Didn't the hybrid use the starter as a motor to move the vehicle and get it going?

The GM TwoMode Hybrids from a few years back utilize 2 electric motors inside the special 2ML70 transmission and use a  dampener in place of the torque converter, it does not have a "starter' in the conventional sense the electric motor inside the transmission spins the engine (aka ICE) through the dampener to start it. The transitions are smooth as silk, really some awesome technology. It was just too expensive for GM to manufacture I guess. 

I needed a 4x4 for work and something that I did not have to worry about getting scratched/dented and that was CHEAP to buy. At $6,600.00 this Tahoe fits the bill perfectly and is really a fun truck to drive. I have put 23k miles on it in a year and it has performed well for a "Beater Ride"  

I think you are correct on the new GM trucks they seem to be utilizing the regular starter which creates a noticeable shake. i may just turn the silly AutoStop thing off I don't think that I will be able to tolerate it.

i live in upstate NY and yes it wont engage if your truck is still cold as hell and the heater is cranking, particularly if you're one of those guys who cranks his thermo to high. It's a thermostat people. Treat it like your house and set it at your desired temp (68-73) and leave it. It'll heat and cool as fast as it can and then calm down.

 

anyhow, It usually takes a good 5-10 minutes before it's happy and then will kick off at a stoplight.

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
