Strange Password Request?

My truck keeps asking me to "Please Confirm Password to Continue using connected services".  What does this mean?  What password do they want?  Is it for my phone?  Is it for my Onstar internet account?  No password that I know works here.

 

It usually seems to happen when I have my phone connected via USB-C.  I have a 2019 LTZ with Nav, if that makes any difference. 

 

Lately my phone has been more screwey than ever.  The bluetooth does not reliabley connect.  Still have no contacts or favorites via bluetooth. 

 

Thanks for your help.

Mine was doing that couple of weeks ago. Kept putting in my chevy app password. Kept telling me wrong password. After about 3 days of this it finally took the password and hasn't been back since.

Well, I'm not the only one that this was happening to.  The first thing I thought was....which password does it want?  I reset my passwords on the computer and was able to enter the password to get the message to go away.  Hopefully it stays away.  I'm not sure what caused this all of a sudden.

Mine started this on a 2020 GMC Sierra.  Noticed a "message" present from OnStar.  I finally signed into OnStar from my home computer and updated my login password.  That fixed the message in my vehicle.   My guess is OnStar did a software update on "their" systems and that affected people's vehicle passwords.

My Truck 2019 Sierra started this same thing at the end of 2021. So Jan. 2022 I took it to the dealership and they said my entire Radio control unit needed to be replaced. After they replaced it and loaded/updated the software it seemed to fix it until recent had bad CPU code for the trailering system and they "updated" the software again and now the famn Password msg is back every 10 minutes! GMC STEALRRSHIPS SUCK BALLS!

Mine seems to required the password to be re-entered after it does an update.

My phone does this as well.

 

I suspect this is so a re-flash can't be used as a way to reset either one. 

 

I agree, it can be a nuisance.

My 2019 LTZ started this past spring, it would ask for password, disconnect phone, and Carplay would turn off and on by itself, the radio screen would go blank and turn back on as if I had shut it off and turned on, while driving. Contacted dealer when it first happened and they said it’s due to not using genuine Apple cords. Started using Apple usb and c cords and still did it. Took it in on President’s Day for service and requested they look at radio as well to see what password it needed and tech said he plugged his phone in and there was no problem. Not happy, I have an extended warranty, put local dealer says they won’t honor it, I have to go to the dealer I purchased from which is 40 minutes away. I’ll try the Chevy app password and hopefully it helps. Thanks for the information.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
