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

I keep meaning to post my findings over the past week. Prior to shutdown, I unplug my radar detector. I don’t plug radar detector back into the outlet until engine has been started. This has been working flawlessly for just over 1 week.

 

since I am not perfect, I do forget to follow these steps from time to time, and the auto shut off fails when the above steps are not followed. Leads me to the assumption that there is something goin on with the wiring or perhaps the infotainment system, and or the open circuit code some others are getting.

I have a 2020 1500 LT( 8 speed trans) with only about 1500 miles on it...mostly city driving so far (25~40 mph).  The auto stop worked fine at first, even in semi cold weather...worked enough to make it noticeable but I decided to leave it on to see if I could get used to it.  Around 800 miles it stopped working, like others have said, can't say I miss it terribly but wondering what is wrong.  Probably crazy but about the same time I noticed the auto climate control system acting wacky.  I have it set at 70 degrees...when I start the truck it will blow full cold until the truck gets warmed up and then the air obviously warms up...in my 2015 Sierra  it would not blow air until the engine was warm enough....and lastly, seems a little rough (transmission) when rolling through traffic at 28-35 mph, like it can't find the gear it wants.  Anybody seeing all these symptoms in a newer 1500?

I took my truck in for the 3 recalls a couple of weeks back.  The Service writer said that the ABS fix might correct the Auto Stop not working.  I got the truck back and after a good run to get everything up to operating temperature, but alas it still does NOT auto stop.  I will take it in after the Shelter In Place is lifted and have that fixed.  I am certain all they will do is reflash the ECM and it will work for a little while afterward anyhow.

I did notice that my climate control blows full force sometimes, it is a little annoying.  I have noticed that my infotainment won't mute and I get an intermittent message on the screen telling me that my rear camera needs servicing.  I am convinced that if this truck was built in the US instead of Mexico I wouldn't have all these problems.

Update on my 2019 1500 GMC for anyone who cares. Auto stop still not functioning correctly. 23,000 miles so for and truck still running great. Noticed cruising down the highway around 65 miles an hour the engine light started flashing slowly. Light stopped after 5 miles and the truck never missed a beat. Called dealer and they said bring it in right away as the flashing light can be serious. Anyways long story short the dealer has ordered a new ECM and stated that that may be the problem all along. IDK but I am definitely purchasing an extended warranty!!! ECM is on order and will not be in for a week or so. Dealer let me take my truck and asked me to keep an eye on the engine light. Auto stop is now working again for the time being.  Love the truck and ride but getting aggravated as to what is continually going on with the Auto Stop feature.

Let us know if that fixes the auto stop issue.

2020 AT4, 1,500 miles.  It worked consistently early on (I usually turned it off at the end of my driveway), has not been working the last couple of weeks.  Just noticed it wasn't working lately.

So my auto stop stopped working a couple weeks after I got the truck. About a week ago my kids were playing around in the back and knocked out the cigarette charger for my camera. Lo and behold it’s working again. So it seems if you have any aux power plugged in it won’t shut off.

I believe that's what it is. The first time it happened I disconnected the battery and it started working again. This last time, I just unplugged my dash cam over night

Unplugging my camera did work a couple of times but since it does not make any difference. Pay attention to your volt meter as mine is at 15-17 when the Auto Stop feature inst working. After dealer clears or resets the ECM the volt meter returns to 10-12 and Auto Stop works again. I am hoping that the new ECM once installed will fix the issue.

Condition of the battery and charging system is one of the things auto start/stop monitors to decide if it will cause a stop. 

Camera left drawing juice when truck off may have resulted in battery charge lower than computer thinks is necessary for stop/start to function.

 

Auto Stops may not occur and/or Auto Starts may occur because:
. 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.

      I suspect at some point in the near future, the hardware will be free and you pay a subscription to access the vehicle - alldata style.

      BAK MX4 EZ-Lift Install and Review

      By parthery · Posted

      I've been eyeing an upgrade to my tonneau cover for a bit now.  Intrigued by the BAK MX4 EZ-Lift with the torsion spring and went for the upgrade.  Thoughts and musings during unpacking, install and a few days of usage.   Once my order went into Realtruck, it took about 4 days to ship.  Unfortunately, FedEx Ground destroyed the box and contents and it was unusable upon receipt.  To Realtruck's credit, one email with pictures and an RMA was sent to me to send the first one back, and another unit was shipped out.  It arrived 3 days later, unscathed.   I opened the box and it looked like every other BAK MX4.   Biggest differences are the rails and retaining clamps, and of course the spring attached to the cover itself.     NOTE - if you are upgrading from a MX4 to the EZ-Lift, you will have to replace the rails.  The EZ-Lift rails have a notch cut in them to allow the new style retaining clamps to fit properly.  The new retaining clamps also have 2 knobs/carriage bolts and there are two tracks underneath the front panel. The strap clips are mildly different (more like the Undercover Flex clamps) in that the screws go in from the underside.  Personally I prefer these over the BAK clamps that use the nutserts that are a nuisance to install.  The remainder of the parts in the box (drain tubes, rail clamps, and bumper pads) are standard issue BAK.     I did not replace my front bed seal at the time because it seemed to be in decent shape.   BAK recommends shims on the GM trucks unless you place the clamps on the flanges about 1/3 of the way in from both the front and rear of the bed.  I shimmed the front and the middle, and initially placed the clamps equidistant.  This also turned out to be a mistake, because when I set the cover in place, the new style retaining clamps wouldn't clear the front clamp.   New style clamp inserted in the track:     And the issue which occurred because the front rail clamp was too far forward:     Once I removed the shim from the front of the bed, and slid the clamp back to the front flange, everything cleared fine.     The cover set on the rails without issue and I installed the strap clamps.  After I completed my adjustments, I pulled the pin to activate the torsion spring.  Mistake #3 on my part.  PULL THE PIN AS THE VERY VERY VERY LAST STEP!  The reason is, once you pull the pin, the torsion spring is activated.  If you have to loosen the front clamps and adjust the cover, the front panel will - by virtue of the spring, refuse to lay down.  The only way to get it to lay down so you can reinstall and tighten the clamps is to fully open the panel against the back of the cab, which will then allow the front panel of the cover to lay down and be tightened.  Not a big deal unless you haven't installed the foam pads yet (typically the last step) because minus the foam pads, you will need to place something between the frame of the cover and the back window so it doesn't get scratched.  The next time I install one I will install the foam pads before I pull the pin and activate the spring.   After using it for a few days:   The spring assist is great.  You literally can open it with one hand.  My shoulders aren't getting any younger and this was part of my motivation to swap out. The second panel latches and unlatches itself as you open and close the cover.  Neat in concept, however it took me a minute to get used to closing the cover and not hearing the "latching" sound that would tell me it was locked in place. The paddle handles are a huge upgrade and I wouldn't be surprised to see them become the standard across the Realtruck line.  They effectively eliminate the concern that a thief could coat hanger the cover open and get to the contents in the bed. I'm not sure why the very front panel on my cover has a different finish from the other 3 panels.  I have a request into Realtruck to find out if mine was not manufactured properly or if it was by design.   All in all I'm pleased.  Same level of protection, looks good, keeps stuff mostly dry (they all leak around the tailgate) and easy to install.
