Shift to park message after shut down.

I took my truck in to the dealership to get inspected (long story), and while I was there I went ahead and had them take a look at the shift to park issue. They called GM, it's a very rare issue, so there is no "official" fix. However, they replaced the shifter (covered under warranty so no cost to me), and I haven't had the issue since. Fingers crossed this sticks!

I have this problem too, so thank you for your posts. The problem had been intermittent, and annoying. And murphy’s law, it didn’t show up when I took the truck to the dealer for the repair; no codes

Any update from GM dealers on this issue? I'm taking my 2019 High Country in tomorrow for the third time. They second time they removed the transmission pan to see if a switch was loose. Nothing. I've shown them this thread, but GM won't give them the go ahead to replace the micro switch. They're waiting for the vehicle to give them a code. Meanwhile I've got 87,000 miles on it. Gonna bring this whole thread and the part number, everything.

2019 Silverado finally got a simple fix for shift to park hasn't done it in a week if you can get to the switch that was pictured above just put some electrical tape on the switch to keep it engaged. I took mine to the dealer and it was gonna be a $900 fix so this is much better on the wallet.

I am having the same issue with my '19 RST. I just dropped it off at the dealership this morning so hopefully I get it back in the next few days. So frustrating, I would jump the switch as other have suggested but shouldnt need to be doing these things on these new trucks IMO so I am letting them dick with it.

Just thought I'd share my quick and easy fix if you are not wanting to run to the dealer or wanting to order a new part. A lot of yall might have one laying around. I pulled off the switch from where it was mounted and used a small zip tie around the micro switch to keep it closed. Have not had an issues since. Bought my 19 TB back in May and this has been an issue since. Hope this helps anyone else!

I currently have the same issue with my 2020 Silverado.

 

 

Update 01 /02/23:  I jumped the switch in the steering column.  Problem solved.

Thanks!!! https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/profile/255553-jeremiah-martin/ I have a few months looking to solve this problem yesterday it got real bad wouldn't stop at all from the shift to park message. So did what you mentioned removed the 3  7mm screws removed the bottom cover and jumped the micro switch with a small fuse, boom!!!! Fixed.  Looking for the replacement part but so far so good thanks again!!!

How do you jumped it?

Stick a paper clip or piece of wire across both sides of the switch.

Looked into it myself after finding this thread.  There is a micro switch under the column that is bad.  I jumped it and the truck shuts off normally. Trying to find the replacement part now.

How did you “jump” this? I have the same problem, except my message won’t go away no matter how many times I shift like previously stated. I have to remove the negative terminals from my batteries to make it stop, but it starts right back after I start and shut off

Stick a piece of wire under the two solder points.  Bend them toward the switch gently if it doesn't stay on its own.

Having the same problem with mine, really annoying and had it a dealer 2 times and they were unable to fix. 

Next time it happens, try this.  Look at the bottom of the steering column by the shifter. You will see an opening big enough to stick your finger.  Put your finger in there and you should hit the micro switch for the shifter.  Usually just touching it made the warning go away, and let the truck shut off.  It's a stupid fix, but short of buying the micro switch listed above, and putting in a new one yourself, it is an easy fix.

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

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
