Just bought a new 2020 Sierra SLT. The rear seat reminder is supposed to be selected by default. I noticed it wasn't coming on. I went the setting menu and under vehicle the option to select it was not even there. Somehow its missing from the menu even though its supposed to be part of the included features. Its on the window sticker. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and what the fix.is. The dealer is looking into it now but they have not seen this issue before.

I have it from a reliable source that GM has remedied this with a TSB advising customers to tie a string around their finger.

If you have the engine running, does the dash show you when a rear door is open? Front door?

 

Rear seat reminder is supposed to work if a door is opened up to 10 minutes before starting -- but the dash display showing the door(s) open would verify door open/close is working.

The door open indicators do work. Went to the dealer today. They tried reloading software, no luck. Waiting for GM engineering to come up with afix

So GM has informed my dealer that Canadian trucks do not have this feature even though the dealer found some trucks on his lot do in fact have it, and some don't. GM has determined that they need to reprogram the Body Control Module or BCM to enable this feature. My question is has anybody had their BCM reprogrammed for any reason and had any negative results. My truck is operating great right now everything else works as it should. I am just worried that the reprogramming my screw something else up just to get this one feature working.

Do you really need this? I hate this feature because it should be easy for anyone to remember if they have anything of importance in the vehicle with them. 

 

So if your truck isn't giving you any issues then don't get it reprogrammed for something that it's common sense.

Do a google search for "baby dies in hot car"

I bet these people wished they would have had a simple reminder.

Yea I’m sorry (no I’m not) but they shouldn’t be a parent if they forget their kids in the backseat. [emoji2361]

If you can't remember you have another human life in your car that it's reliant on you, then you don't need to ever have a child or be a parent or be responsible for another child. 

 

Same goes for people who have pets. 

 

I know people don't forget their phones in the car. A another living person or creature should always come first.

I completely agree, unfortunately not all people are as responsible as they should be, and every summer we see news reports of kids and pets dying because of it.

Did those people really forget their kids in the car or did they leave them because "I'll only be gone a couple minutes". No reminder is going to help with that.

We had all three of our kids by our mid 20s. Had grand kids by our 30s. At any time did I ever forget I had one with me. Can’t even imagine it.

      Very interesting thread. Definitely didn’t expect to see this kind of mileage out of that engine.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
