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

if jumping the switch fixes it then what was the switch designed to control?

 

It is supposed to tell you if you left your truck in gear.

Well I have the same problem with the SHIFT TO PARK Message on my 2019 GMC Denali for a month or two it became very annoying . It wasn't doing it all the time until last week. It also drained my battery and left me stranded. I found the thread on how to by-pass the micro switch and did it. So far so good I hope that GM comes up with a fix for this, there seems to be a lot of GM trucks having this problem. We should not have to pay to fix a problem that is happening in all these vehicles.

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 stored in the OBD, and a shockingly un-curious tech who didn’t even try shifting the transmission even a few times where the message definitely would have showed up. I lived with the false messages off and mostly-on for about 9 months, but last night the truck upped the game and drained its battery down to 4v. Typically the truck lights and whatever else was running would time out as if the “accessory” ignition was on then shut off after 20 minutes or so just like it does at a drive-in movie (PITA). Last night, that must not have happened. 

After an overnight on the charger, the battery was good again this morning. However the “shift to park” message still showing after the morning and afternoon commutes.  So, I decided I’d had enough and can’t risk becoming stranded with a dead battery, and disassembled the steering column covers. With the covers off (just 3 hex head screws), the little limit switch on the transmission control assembly was easy to access. With the “shift to park” message active on the instrument cluster, I used a wire to jump the switch, and presto! The truck shut off like it should. I tried a few more times and same result. So I soldered in a temporary fix wire, and I’ll order a replacement shift control assembly.  I realize the micro switch is just a few $, but I just don’t want to deal with the soldering and odd limit arm bend. 
 

Now, I just wonder what feature disappeared when I jumped the switch.  If there’s something wonky, I’ll follow up this post.  If not, assume no further updates means everything is normal with the switch jumped.

See that hole in the bottom of the cover that lines up with the location of the micro switch?  If you put your finger up there when the message is going off, you can push on the little switch lever and the truck shuts off.  It's a stupid fix, but free and it worked until I traded mine in.

How is this not a safety recall?!?! I have a 2019 RST and this started a year ago and the dealer made me feel like I'm crazy and that they haven't heard of this issue. As I laughed in there faces as I left. Still happening and one of the most annoying sounds ever!

Follow up- I took it into the dealer and they confirmed (and GMC is aware) that there is an issue with the micro-switch (shift lever switch). They replaced the one in my Silverado and said that it has a two year warranty on the part. Part number is 84800776 Description: Control 4.004 N. I have not had the issue since they replaced the micro-switch. Hopefully this helps anyone else that comes across this issue.

so did you replace the whole auto trans control or just the micro switch? dealer ship here is charging me 234 for that control module whcich isn't bad to get a permanent fix but if I can just switch the micro switch from another truck at a junkyard im sure that's a cheaper and easier route.

Someone here posted a link to the micro switches on Amazon.  Just buy a bag of them.

I would get a brand name switch from an electronics supplier like Mouser before an Amazon/Fleabay one.

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 appreciate all the advice. I removed the bottom cover and tightened a small ziptie around the microswitch. I did not even have to remove the switch from its mount. Works perfectly now. I'll mention it the next time I take it in for service but won't lose any sleep over it if nothing else is done. Thanks everyone for the diagnosis and fix suggestions.

I have a 2019 Silverado, and have had this issue for the past year. The dealers say that GM does not have a fix for it yet.

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.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
