2017 GMC 2500 hd electrial/computer issues


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey guys hopefully someone can help me out with this.  I have a  2017 gmc 2500hd lt that ive owned since new with 45,000 miles.  Trucks been great until recently when i started having electrical/computer issues.  The DIC would start displaying crazy messages like put drivers side window up and down, trailer brake enabled when no trailer was attached, stabilitrak and so on.   Would also hear a weird audio noise when in the truck driving sometimes.  Anyway the one day after truck was acting crazy on the ride home from work i stopped for coffee and turned it off and the truck went completely dead.  Not a light, key fob woudlnt work, door locks, nothing.  Dead like a light had been left on for the entire last 2 days.  So i got a jump and truck started right up and  i had the battery tested that day and it checked out 100 percent perfect.  Took to dealer and they couldnt find any issues but must have reprogrammed something because truck was fine for 6 months and now it left me with a dead truck again the other day.  At the dealer right now again and they cant seem to find anything.  Truck doesnt have any crazy mods besides  a rigid industries set of back up lights since new and led bulbs in the oem tailights.  Those mods were done when almost new and didint affect anything and arent wired half assed so i kind of ruled them out.  Was looking online and saw maybe the negative battery cable or some of the grounds like g218 and g210??? Really sucks because i enjoy the truck but having a truck which just goes dead for what i paid is unacceptable.  Thanks

    • Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!  
    • From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

    • True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel. 
    • I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
