Long post, 2018 Silverado LTZ steering wheel controls dead

Had my truck worked on at a body shop(dent fix and new windshield) then straight to a proper detailing.

I assume one of the two disconnected my batteries (L5P Durramax).

Now, the buttons and controls on the steering wheel do not respond. 

Confirmed with both shops, nothing was disconnected from the steering column.

Everything else, horn, dash, lights, radio, etc. All function correctly. Only the stero paddles, and menu nav buttons do not work.

 

Scanned all the modules for codes and received back 2 codes in the Instrument Panel Cluster.

DTC 1: B3622-39 Steering Wheel Controls Signal Circuit - Internal Malfunction - (No ****** Sherlock)

DTC 2 : U1510-00 LIN Bus Lost Communication with Device 0 - (Ah yes, Device 0, obviously). I am not sold on the clock spring still as I don't have any SRS module codes.

 

Repair manual says those codes together is a short to ground.

 

Cheryl on-top was this YouTube video,

 

 

Anyone have enough knowledge to help me figure if it's a bad module or a cut wire?

It’s probably not power because you’d have an airbag light.
It’s probably not ground because G210 is the ground for half the interior and everything works except the controls.
Using a dvom check Circuit 3894 pin 3 at the steering wheel controls to Pin 20 at the instrument cluster, that’s your LIN circuit that’s down. If the circuit checks ok then it needs the controls.
Probably needs the controls.

By "needs the controls" do you mean it needs new components on the Steering wheel? 

 

Also, something I haven't learned yet, is G210 a "facility" ID or is it a code? I keep seeing bit but electronics is new-ish to me.

Thanks for the post concerning the issue with the windshield. Good info in case I ever need to have it replaced in my '17 Silverado. From your description, I bet the windshield repair tech accidently cut a wire shown in the video. A set-up for failure, IMO. Please post what you end up finding.

"Needs controls" that's correct, he's talking the switches in the wheel itself.

 

G210 is the labeling for the ground that those switches and many other components ground at.  The entire steering wheel, HVAC blower and more ground there.  Being you've got two switches out of everything else working, I see his reasoning for it not likely being a ground issue as in the ground point itself.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
