I took my 19’ AT4 in for repair 2 days after I bought it because the check engine light came on with 150 miles on it. They found nothing wrong, so I picked it up. 2 days later, the check engine light came on with 217 miles on it. Took it in again and they receive a code that the auto start/stop control module had a voltage reading that triggered the code. They replaced the module. I drove it for a few more days and the check engine light came on again with 300 (ish) miles on it. I drove it until my appointment a few days later and the light never shut off. The day of my appointment, the check engine light shut off. The Dealership tech called a corporate GM tech and was told to take out fuses 52 & 53 because those control the auto start/stop technology. When they removed the fuses, the truck wouldn’t start at all. They removed to fuse block and found that it was the wrong part number, thus the wrong fuse block. Of course GM is on strike, so they can’t get the new block in due to shipping issues. They say that everything else should work fine, but I don’t trust “should”. Anyone else have similar issues with the auto start/stop or a check engine light?

Had a light come on my '20 SLT with 300 miles on it today. Went off before I could have it scanned at Auto Zone. Keeping an eye on it (and this thread now!)

Even if the light goes out, you can still go and get the codes read to see what happened.

That's what I thought! Had two different Auto Zones tell me otherwise unfortunately...

So, they wouldn't hook up their reader to your vehicle, or they did and said there were no codes in the history?

 

I know my truck will store codes for all kinds of stuff, even after I fix the problem.

Didn't even hook it up. I can only assume there is a log or history of some sort given the amount of technology in vehicles these days - maybe their readers just don't have that functionality?

No, even the most basic code readers can get history codes from the engine computer.  And there can be current codes, even if the CEL is off...

I had a similar issue. I was unable to remote-start my truck, when I got in I had a "check engine light" on. It stayed on for about 3 or 4 starts.

Took it to the dealer a few days later and he said he was able to see the light came on, and it was a "communication error." He had no idea what that meant though ?

He did say all he can do is keep it here until it reproduces again. I haven't seen it since, been about a month now.

I purchased a 2020 AT4 6.2L.  Check engine light came on at 40 miles - went away after shutting it off and starting it.  Fast forward 6 days - I have 350 miles on it and am NOT at home.  Go to get into the truck after leaving 'fob' in the truck over night.  The dash tells me "FOB Identified" or whatever the heck it says, and when I go to start my rig after it sitting for a day, I lose ALL power to the truck.  Windows won't roll down, lights won't turn on - completely DEAD.  I took the keyfob and stepped out of the rig trying to unlock/lock and even remote start and NOTHING. 

 

I asked a family member to give me a jump (thankful I was around other people - had I been in the woods I'd be screwed) after 3-4 minutes with cables on, the truck fires up and check engine light is on.   After 15 minutes I shut the truck off and fired it right back up.  Battery levels were fine - everything checked out except for the check engine light not going off.  Drove it 140 miles home and it drove fine - until I took cruise control off and was heading home off the freeway, and it seemed to be "skipping/lunging" at low speeds, almost felt like a misfire/bad fuel or something.  I called the dealership and took it in - they've had it for 1 week now and they claim the light came on due to a transmission code.  I haven't heard BOO from them, but super frustrating that I spent as much as a did to have a truck that I don't have to drive now.....

Bought a 2020 GMC 1500 Denali, had issue with the Auto/stop about 5 days after driving it home. Pulled up to a stale red light and I took my foot off the brake the engine was mid auto stop and it went into what felt like convulsions for about 15 seconds in the intersection, almost stalled out but slowly pulled it together and continued driving. ( no check engine light ).  I now try to remember to turn off the auto stop every time I get into the truck, which is somewhat annoying to begin with. Truck has a weird idle at stop, not sure if that's typical of the 6.2 I've only had 5.3s previously. now 4000km I make an appointment for oil change and to have them investigate the auto stop incident, started the truck this morning and check engine light is on.. Changed my appointment to tmw and will have to see what happens. I could tell in the first week of driving this truck it will be prone to auto stop and battery problems, I do have extended warranty but will have to check if auto stop components are covered past 3 yr which I suspect they are not.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
