Check engine light

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.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jake87 · Posted

      Bro, you still got that truck? I'm not seeing any m rust or flaking, which rusted metal flakes. Everyone thinks the wax "is rusty" but it absorbs its surrounding environment, creating a hard, natural shell that you can literally shoot with a bullet and won't flake off. It'll last 50 years like that as long as the barrier isn't compromised by getting in a wreck or meets a chemical that disolves wax. My 09's frame is even duller looking than that, and is holding up better than my rockers or 3rd set of painted shocks.

      auto mechanical driver's door unlock without pressing button? [2026 Silv. 1500 WT 4WD RC SB 2.7L]

      By newdude · Posted

      No.   That would be an LT and higher trim.  Passive entry.  There would be a little button on the door handle and you can program it to proximity lock or unlock.     WT and Custom do not get this feature.

      Mediocre, how much did they lose on the poorly conceived EV strategy?   I wonder how much the stock price is being 'inflated' by all the buy-backs?   Cadillac literally looks like a brand without a rudder, no clear goals or product direction - performance or luxury? I guess performance because we can throw a small block in whatever we can and call it a day. Certainly not luxury when a Denali or High Country is reasonably cross shoppable. The Celestiq - no way - no vehicle can command quarter million prices when something wearing the same badge is on the buy here pay here lot across town.   Notice the 'base' Escalade doesn't even come with the 'leather-appointed' seating surfaces.   Hummer EV - fail Silverado EV - fail Sierra EV - fail Bolt/Volt EV (The most successful EV cancelled, restarted, cancelled, whatever its current status it)   Hybrids - none Sedans - none Medium duty - not anymore Minivan - none Coupe - none Convertible - none CUVs - 20+/-   6.2 Recall that landed squarely on the GMs highest seller - and specifically the fattest margin higher trims of the Yukon, Escalade, et. al. The most critical product line they fumbled big time. In the Escalade segment, are those buyers forgiving GM for a bad engine and patiently waiting for the fixes and dealing with the headaches? Nope, they dump them and go straight to the other premium brands.   In the ENTIRE GM portfolio how many aspirational vehicles are there? Corvette, Escalade (quickly being superseded by the obvious better value Denali)...   I posted somewhere else... what if Cadillac left the luxury game and became a performance brand similar to AMG or (gasp) Ferrari? Cut all the entry-level and base models from their line up and focus on the V-series or Blackwing or whatever they call it now. Of course, those would have the pre-requisite luxury and technology as standard equipment. This opens the floor for Buick to step in/up as the luxury brand (like they are in China), no 'performance pretenses' get rid of the 'entry-level' models with equally 'entry-level' power trains and become the Maybach to Cadillacs AMG. With those two brands effectively out of the way Chevrolet, the 'entry-level' brand has the floor to itself and GMC can take over as 'professional grade'.    Now each brand has a focus, no in-fighting, clear direction, and customer targets.   Just need to sneakily slide Corvette into the Cadillac brand and dump the vestigial script writing.

      I can't get enthusiastic about the 1.5T (or the 1.3 or the 1.2), I won't drive a CVT. But the stupid things sell in volume.

      There is a big difference in motorcycles and vehicles - nobody needs a motorcycle, they WANT one. That WANT is the most powerful force to drive price upwards.   I've hated every iteration of the Equinox, a prime example of GM laziness. It excelled at absolutely nothing, barely competitive by every metric. At least the latest generation looks decent.    I want to like the Buick Envista, but that pitiful engine plus FWD only is a BIG NO for me, I don't care how good it looks.
