Auto Stop Feature not working

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 disconnected / reconnected, so I assume this is the reason.  However it doesn't state when or how it will start working again.  Does anyone know? 

 

Those who reported this problem after recall and/or service work at their dealer probably had the battery disconnected too.

 

Note - It was a warm winter day for upstate NY (started out 18F, topped out at 50F), and I drove my truck at both extremes (30 min each way, 80% highway).  Start/Stop did not work at either temp.  When I arrived home after work, it was almost 24hrs since the battery was reconnected.

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.

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

Sounds like a good problem to have. ?

 

I'm glad that the trucks at least give you the option to turn it off for those that want to.

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?

The climate control settings

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.

Along the same line as Tow/Haul Mode, do you have ANYTHING plugged into either the 7-Pin or the 4-Pin connectors?  If the truck thinks for any reason that you are towing, it will not utilize the Auto-Stop feature.  ALSO, make sure that your trailer brake control module, if equipped, is zeroed out.

Bringing this topic back. Having this issue with our 2019 for the last few months. Has anyone ever found a reason and fix?

Last time GM tech said my battery was below 75% so they charged it up and has been working now for the past 400 miles. I am not sure if that is the permanent fix as this problem started at 500 miles and truck has been in the shop four separate times for this issue. Truck now has 16,000 miles and will see how long it works this time. I would charge the battery and see if that could be it.

2019 Sierra (8800 miles), auto stop feature not working either. It never worked until I took the truck in to have the 3 recalls taken care of a few weeks back, then auto stop worked for exactly 6 days, but now it doesn’t work again. They did replace my battery during the recall, so my guess is that the battery is not sufficiently charging, which could be an issue with the alternator or something I guess.

Auto stop is still working but now the engine light is coming on and volt meter jumps from 12 to 14 volts rapidly back and forth which did not do that prior to the engine light illuminating. Yes auto stop is still working even though the engine light is on and should not from what I understand. Dealer said it is some between the steering wheel and the electric brakes causing the light to come on. Dealer said it could be as simply as a brake light. Really getting concerned about this truck having electrical issues. Still love the ride and the 20 MPG it is getting.

This is my concern as well. When we got back from vacation, my battery had completely drained, which I was able to jumpstart without issue. However, I had check engine, loss of all ECS and ABS, truck governed to 62 mph max, it was the most horrific 25 mile drive I have ever had, well, since the early 1980’s that is lol. Makes me wonder about the quality of these trucks, now built south of the boarder. Guessing the quality is suffering, but the profits for GM are not. Pretty scary.

May I ask if you’ve swapped out incandescent to led for your backup light or license plate light?

I’m having the same issue with my new 2020 LT TrailBoss Crew, Short. Auto-Stop was working perfectly since I brought it home 6 weeks ago...until this week (1,600 miles). Now the Auto-Stop will absolutely not work. I’ve made sure that:

-climate control off

-Exterior temp >50 degrees
-Normal Drive Mode

-Battery working completely fine

 

I have not altered the Vehicle in any way.
 

Took it back to dealer today, they force updated infotainment system to newest software, as of Feb. 2020 (MIH20A-00523) and installed brand new battery. This did NOT fix it. 
I was told that a scan found “an open circuit” and showed codes “B092A & B092.” 

 

Does anyone have any suggestions? Anyone know what these codes mean? 
 

Really disappointed to be dealing with electrical issues with a brand new, almost $60k, truck.

 

Thank you all! I love this forum!

Same here with recalls and updates.

 

Still having intermittent troubles with mine. I have found when the Auto Stop quits, I unplug my dash camera for a few miles. Sounds crazy but it works after I plug it back in. Really concerned about the electronics on this truck.

 

I also have had the engine light come on recently and dealer stated the same “an open circuit” but unable to identify. Auto Stop was still working even though engine light was on.

 

The other day when I started the truck the brake pedal went to the floor and message on dash said “Critical Brake Failure” but soon went off. I will need to ask about that message.

 

I have read other threads and they state that aftermarket plugs that are plugged into the accessories ports will mess with the Auto Stop Feature.

19,000 Miles and still having issues. I really love the truck and will keep driving but once Manufacturer’s warranty nears the end I will purchase extended warranty my dealer offers.

 

Keep me updated on yours.

      GM discontinuing interior parts on a 5YO vehicle??

      By Atlas · Posted

      If one can't be found, a good automotive upholstery shop should be able to replace/sew in a new panel where the damage is on the old cover. It might not be the cheapest option..

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Does your dealer charge you for the tire rotation on top of the oil change price ?. I haven't had any service work done at my dealer yet other than when I brought it back soon after owning it to have the front end aligned to correct the steering wheel being off center a bit. Oh they called me at least twice hounding me to bring it in for an oil change and pushing a 300.00 package of oil change and tire rotation and whatever other quick simplistic checks they would do. Only going off of what a friend gets charged for his half ton for the basic oil change and its the same amount of oil as the L8T holds, it was about 150.00. Once one buys a set of tires from most shops these days or so I believe, they will do free tire rotations and some do free tire balancing as well as free tire repairs.    Certainly doing a tire rotation is no five minute job, and definitely not at home but because I run a set of winter tires on their own wheels, I swap them at home and its a one tire at a time deal because of the tire season swap although I jack up the rear and do it and drop it back down and then raise the front and do them and coordinate the tire rotation into that process for both sets of tires. I am using a floor jack though and if I need to raise both ends at once I use a couple sets of jack stands to have all four tires off the ground. I use either an air impact or battery impact and have electric impact as well so no shortage there of easy methods to spin the lug nuts, and then retorquing the lug nuts. None of it goes quick though but my wages are cheap though ... zero. I live an hour out of town, its easier just to do things like that myself than waste a bunch of time in town and having to make an appointment and probably a special trip and sit there at the tire shop waiting for them to get my vehicle in and get it done and not screw something up in the process.

      Clunk when coming to a stop... driveshaft/slip yoke? Mechanic couldn't recreate it

      By mrbflat · Posted

      I do have the 8 speed.  Interestingly enough, after driving my truck for the past 2 days now, I have not had the clunking issue at all!  I am beginning to think it may have been suspension/leaf spring related, and somehow when the shop put my truck on the lift to do their initial inspection, it relieved some built up tension/pressure that was causing my problem.  I swear it felt I was a bull rider on a bucking bull the way the truck would almost rock back and forth slightly before the big thud/clunk when coming to a stop.  I am hoping I got lucky here and it's gone for good.

      Bring it to discount tire. They do free rotations even if you didn’t buy your tires there. I didn’t believe it until I tried and they did. You can tip the employee if you would like

      Best part of this video is how it resets expectations. Wonderfully done piece. It also made clear a few points I've made from day one. Detergent oils DO NOT KEEP A MOTOR CLEAN at the recommended or longer change intervals. They just get dirty slower than a non-detergent oil and there isn't spits difference between them on this point if they carry the DEXOS license. Great thing about the license that gets missed is it assures CONFORMITY even it that means a low bar.    One thing he did not talk about that I paused on an magnified was the condition of the oil ring separator. Besides a stuck ring a plugged separator and land drain back is huge when it comes control. We see in short order improvement in control IF that is the problem.    Another item I took exception to and he did not make plain was the condition of the timing chest and under valve cover having something to do with indicating piston cleanliness. Schaeffer's Oil makes that same omission in their million mile Ford video. I'm guessing he has never torn down a Red Line HP, AMSOIL SS motor that has been on that diet from the get. What he showed in the video was a good deal of varnish. Something totally absent in Peppers 165K cover off look. I smiled because he did his at the same milage.    He also makes the mistake of assuming oil temperatures in the pan are the temperature all over the motor even though he makes note of the piston being the hottest part of the engine. that baffled me a bit.    I can tell you from personal experience and witnessing teardowns of family motors that even oils of the 1960's would keep them squeaky clean when OCI's were 1500 to 2000 miles without exception. At 3K and above you get what he experienced and the longer you leave it the quicker to gets to the junkyard.    I think his is missing a opportunity not tearing it down again when he's done killing it. Time would be his only cost.
