I got a 2018 gmc sierra and noticed when I turn the ignition on engine light stays on without the truck running but when it’s on engine light is not on is that normal???

Welcome to the site.

 

Yes, 100% normal. If it stays on, or see it while driving, then you have a problem.

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

So I have a brand new 21 trail boss and I’ve had 4 check engine lights come on. First 2 we’re misfires in cylinders 1 and 6 but they couldn’t track what it was because the codes were stored because the lights didn’t stay on. The 3rd came on 4th of July but said it was to update ecm. Then the day after it came on for a 4th time and it stayed on solid check engine light. Took it in and they said they found code p0300. They performed crankshaft variation relearned procedure and cleared code. Told me to report back if it happens again. How many more times until I can get a lemon law involved. This probably is getting old on a brand new vehicle. Any suggestions? Anyone having the same issue with these vehicles?

I bought a 2021 GMC Sierra AT4 with 30 total miles on it on saturday. Last night, Monday night, as in 2 days later, I have a check engine light and an "emissions system" diagnostic issue. 


I am pissed to say the least

Ask your dealer to perform the latest ecm update and to do the crankshaft position sensor relearn. Fixed my shudder issues and the CEL light hasn't flashed for the misfire now in over a week. I think they finally fixed it.

I just purchased a 2022 Silverado Custom at the end of October (2021). within days I got the message "Service Front Camera", I took it in to the local dealership and they said the front camera would need to be replaced and it would need to be ordered and be a couple of weeks. A day or two after that the Check Engine light came on. I took it in and they said they fixed it. they said it was due to my drivers side door being open too long when they made a small adjustment on the door. I thought that was odd but whatever. The next day the light came on again so i took it in that morning. this time they said it was power supply transformer and replaced it. the light came on the next day and i brought it back again. it was in the shop for 3 days without an answer at which point I picked it up as i needed it over the weekend and they said it was safe to drive. I brought it back in today (Monday 11/22) and I was just informed it wont be fixed today either. Extremely frustrating. I even contacted GM directly via chat last week and was basically instructed to contact the CEM (Customer Experience Manager)at the dealership my truck is at. Tried that, the phone just rand and rang.

 

My observation over this past weekend is that the Check Engine light comes on at about 9am the past 2 mornings as the outside temps start to warm up and then turns off at around 5:30-5:45 pm when the weather starts to cool down. It seems like 80 degrees is more or less the magic number. I also notice that when the Auto Stop feature turns the car back on, the infotainment screen flickers (almost everytime) and the music gets static-ky (using streaming service, not the radio). the Service Front Camera message also made a comeback this past Saturday.

 

All of that said, the truck runs fine. Has anyone else had similar symptoms or issues?

      2021 Silverado 2.7L – N232395310 – Can someone with GM dealer access check my VIN?

      By HeronLeal · Posted

      Just want to make sure it is covered by Special Coverage N232395310 Evaporative Emission Purge Pump 2021 Silverado 1500 Custom 2.7L L3B ~100k miles I'm getting DTCs P146B and P146F. VIN 3GCPWBEK2MGxxxxxx   I spoke to a person that works at GM and he said it is not covered after checking my VIN.   Is there anyone here who currently works for a GM/Chevrolet dealership and has access to GM Global Warranty Management / Investigate Vehicle History who could explain how the VIN eligibility is determined?   thank you

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all that information, I might purchase one and see if it will work for me, if not they may let me return it! Yes for sure the tires are definitely within limit for my truck empty, and when I do tow I'll definitely make sure to raise the rear psi for the amount of weight that's going to be on it.

      Tire psi

      Yes exactly, more and more these days people/companies are afraid of liability issues so its easier just to say no rather than risk putting their neck on the line.    I will say with the Autel unit or when I used it last year on my truck, it wasn't like I could choose the 2025 model year or even the 2024 model year as that option was not there to manipulate the placard pressures but had to go back to 2023 or there abouts and then it showed up as an option, odd but that was how the software was then and I can't say one way or the other now as they throw out updates every so often. I still would talk to your tire dealer though to start with and they may do it for nothing but also they may have a comment on a better unit to purchase. All I know is that one of the large tire shops in my area happens to use these Autel units for their use and set them up to use the wifi and all of that jazz for constant updating because each tire tech has one handed to them by the shop but I just plugged it into my laptop to update it and yes if one is bought it has to be registered so you can get the link to do updates and then the unit has to be updated before its even used. I am not at all techy so it took me a bit but anyway just a heads up for anything you buy, most likely it will need to be connected to a computer to access the internet to have it updated to the latest software version before you can put it to use.   If your truck is near empty, those tire pressures you listed are a very safe upper range pressures to carry the weight, both the front and rear as I know they could be run lower yet with an empty truck. And if its a trailer and not some motorcycle your going to strap onto the front of your truck on a rack, you shouldn't have a need to inflate your front tires if your at 55 front already, its the rear ones that would need more air if you have much hitch weight.

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.

      I had a similar but different response when I talked to the service manager where I bought my truck in that he said GM corporate won't allow them to lower the placard pressure setting as they would get their hand slapped but that of course they have the ability to make that change. His suggestion was simply go to a tire dealer or third party shop that is willing to reset the pressures lower. However I chose to buy a tpms tool and partly based off of this very forum as it had been proven to work on the 2024 model ( Global B system ) and while I could have paid lots for a full two way diag tool, I didn't want to spend that much and bought the recommended Autel TS 508 and it will reprogram the 2025 model and assume it should do the 2026 as well. However the tool is rather proprietary to reprogramming Autel tpms sensors so that is a function I will never use, where as a real two way scanner would have many uses but also have yearly subscriptions etc where this 508 is free updates for as long as they put updates out for the unit. In any event it worked to lower the placard pressures and I often use it to adjust my actual tire pressures although will check with a mechanical gauge as well sometimes just to make sure that tires tpms sensor isn't lying to me.    My suggestion is either buy a tool that you know will work to adjust the system or start out by getting the tire shop you bought your tires from to reset your truck and if after that you still want a unit to do it yourself, get one at that point.
