I've spent some time on google and youtube looking for this answer, but apparently I'm the only one who experiences this issue.  My remote control and tpms arent working so I've purchased a new rcdlr from Chevrolet, but I cant seem to determine where it's located.  Someone mentioned previously it should be under the headliner?  Okay, that sucks, but lets get after it...but where?  

 

Can someone point me to the correct location, a helpful how-to link or anything of the like?

Above headliner on rear crossbar above rear glass. Passenger side. No programming required.

remove interior panels and pull down on headliner?  have any information on ways to access without damaging other components in the process?  I'm decently mechanically inclined, just havent taken apart interior on this truck.  I would imagine two rear sail panels need to be removed and then hopefully headliner will be free enough to access.  

 

I appreciate your response.

If memory serves you don't need to take both sides down. I think I just pulled the pass side panel and pull handle down. It's been about a year and a half so I could be wrong.

you are correct.  I pulled the upper panel on the passenger rearmost pillar.  I also removed the grab handle for safe measure.  Simply pull down on the headliner and there it was.  Replaced the unit, to no avail.  I still do not have remote control availability.  I'll look and see if there's an "at home" programming capability.  If not, I'll have the dealer figure this mess out when I take it in for power steering recall.  

 

Thanks for your help

Some more info if it will help.

 

Remote Control Door Lock Receiver Programming and Setup
Diagnostic Aids

The remote control door lock receiver only functions as an antenna, receiving the signals sent by the keyless entry transmitter and forwarding them to the body control module (BCM). The keyless entry software is contained wholly within the BCM.

Replace and Program ECU or Reprogram ECU

This ECU does not require SPS programming or any setup procedures.

took truck to dealer this morning.  Setup for power steering recall as well as try to get rcdlr working.  Attempting to program new rcdlr receiver/antenna module to no avail it was decided to also replace the BCM.  I made the judgement call to skip the diagnostics and replace the BCM.  This also did not work.  Will return to dealer at a later date to diag electical.  Tech checked fuses and all is well there so somewhere along the wiring we have an issue.  Not what I was hoping for.  

 

Will update in the future when a determination is made.

I have a 2014 chevy with this same issue.  Been happening on and off for a couple of years.  Keyless entry works when it wants and the TPMS goes in and out every couple of months.  

 

Any update on yours?

I have done some research on several websites of forums. At the bottom line, they all ended up with the dealers saying it got a “bad connection” somewhere a long the line, so I’m assuming that it’s got damage wires somewhere from the RDLCR to the BCM, I just haven’t figured out where it is actually damaged. I have checked  all the connections from the receiver up to the door sill front passenger and all was good, so somewhere up on the dashboard is what I’m thinking ?

I have an issue with my door locks too I have figured out it is only when it's around a certain vehicle it effects two different GM vehicles at my house so far there is no tpsm issues but the car effecting it does have a tpsm issue. Not sure if this helps but could give you something else to look at.

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
