Resolved.  Simply changed the Nav SD card switch from the down toward the contacts position to the up toward the driver position and my errors have not returned.  

 

1. found my Nav SD card

2. removed Nav SD card - found the slide switch on the side of the SD card in the down position

3. put switch in the up position and reinserted

4. all while ignition was off

5. no more of the errors I was showing, see previous post, are reoccuring

6. my issue is resolved!

That "switch" is the write protect tab. The error message you were getting should never be cryptic for something so basic.  Have you gone through the manual since fixing it to see if they have it there, but written in such a way that you would have needed to know the answer in order for the message to be meaningful. 

 

That's one of my pet peeves.  It's real common for tech support for computer software.  You tell then you are new, you have no idea of how it works, and you ask your question.  The first answer you get reads like it was a multipage answer, and they didn't send the first page.  Or they use non-specific terms for parts names, and the rest of the response is written like you already know the answer.  

 

If this ends up fixing your issue you may want to send off a message to the service manager of the dealership that couldn't fix it so maybe the next person with the issue gets it fixed right away.   Don't know if manufacturers still send out service bulletins or not, but if they do that fix should be documented.  When I was a mechanic at a Chrysler dealership, every mechanic got a package every month with all the new service bulletins.  I still have a big box of them somewhere.

Interesting.

 

My truck has/had the same issue, but my findings were different....exactly the opposite actually.  After reading this thread I went out and popped out the SD card, found the write protect tab already in the position away from the pins.  

 

1. Found write lock tab in position away from pins

2. Slid tab down to be closer to pins, reinserted

3. Powered truck on, got the same message

4. Went to NAV, and hit ok on the warning message about initializing

5. Powered truck off

6. Powered truck back on, warning message did not display

7. Powered truck back off

8. Removed SD card and moved write lock tab to position farther away from pins, reinserted

9. Powered truck on, initially received a message stating that SD card had been removed, went away and GPS worked normally

10. Powered truck off and back on

11. GPS initialized with no error messages whatsoever

 

My goal here was to recreate the issue once I found what resolved it, which I was unable to do.  It is almost as though you have to remove the card, move the write lock tab, and confirm the message on initialization and it doesn't matter which position the write lock tab resides.  An odd one for sure.

After updating to 807 and replacing the SD Card and card receptacle, GM now wants to replace the radio control module, which requires two visits, one where they need to get the number off the current unit and another to replace same.

 

I want them to go to back to 509, the last known working version which had no problem at all.

 

Has anyone been successful in getting a dealer to go back to an earlier software version?

 

Any other updates anyone? Please provide the latest status.

 

Thank you.

I have a 2020 GMC Acadia and with less than 2000 miles and I was experiencing the exact same issue.  The dealer has already replaced the card and ensured led me this was a rare occurrence.  I am at 2952 miles and just got the same exact SD Card Error message.

      2018 Sierra 1500 Transfer Case Leak

      By Ryanwehr14 · Posted

      Pretty much zero rust on the truck, the frame is super clean. Non-snowy area of California for its whole life. They didn't mention JB weld specifically, just a silicone style seal.

      Needs a manifold gauge hooked up and the pressures read.   If you don't have one, time to take it to a shop and have it diagnosed.

      2018 Sierra 1500 Transfer Case Leak

      By newdude · Posted

      How rusty is the truck?     The transfer cases on these are an aluminum case.  If its anything like the rear diffs on the 2015-2022 Chevy Trax, those will corrode bad to the point it will push fluid through the housing via corrosion porosity or a crack from age/stress.    We have seen folks over tighten the drain and fill plugs on these transfer cases and crack them that way as well.    So I'd say its a 50/50 shot on re-sealing the case.  If all of the surfaces are good and its not badly corroded, they probably can re-seal it.  GM uses RTV to seal the case halves.   If they mention JB Weld, the issue is the case.  Be it a crack or corrosion.  JB Weld "might" hold if they clean EVERYTHING very well and drain the fluid out of the case and clean the crack and then seal it.

      2018 Sierra 1500 Transfer Case Leak

      By Ryanwehr14 · Posted

      A while back, my truck (2018 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3) went in for an o2 sensor and routine service. The tech identified that my rear output seal on my transfer case was leaking, and recommended I have them replace it. At the time I didn't think anything of it, and had them do the repair. Less than a month later, I noticed that the recently repaired seal was leaking again. I called the shop that did the repair and they warrantied the repair and replaced the same seal again. A few months later, I noticed that once again the same seal leak had come back. It wasn't a great time to bring it in and I ended up just living with it for 6 months or so, noticing small (smaller than a baseball) size oil stains below the truck when it would sit for a while, as well as oil spray on the frame (to the point where it actually took the underbody coating off in that one spot). Finally got around to brining it in again, but this time I took it to a dealership service center since I am in a different part of the state for school. They identified the same output seal leaks and recommended they replace them. They also said there was no scoring on the inside of the transfer case, so it didn't need to be replaced. They chalked up the original repair failures to non oem seals and a job that wasn't done correctly. Now they called and said the seals are holding after driving/sitting for a while, but they found a very small leak in the middle, that they recommended they seal with some kind of silicone/jb weld (not sure what they are using). I haven't picked up the truck yet, but I have been reluctant about this whole repair process because I feel like they are just fixing the same thing that keeps coming back, and I am concerned there could be another root cause for the seal failing. Has anybody else experienced anything like this, or have any ideas on other things that could be the root cause?
