Hey all!! New to the forum. Glad to be here. Hoping someone can help me out.
 

 I recently bought a 2020 Sierra AT4. Put an ATV in the box this afternoon. It’s on a riser in hopes that the tailgate would shut which didn’t quite work out.  I opened the step and closed the tailgate. Now I can’t get the tailgate to open to get the ATV out. Step will not close as the backend of the quad is in the way. 
 

is there anyway to get the tailgate open now? Manual override? Something....

Is the ATV pushing against the tailgate?  If so you may have to get 2 persons and each person push in on the outside of the tailgate near the latches and then try pushing the button to see if it will release.

Welcome to the site, congratulations on your new truck.

 

Can you post a picture, easy to come up with an idea if we can see the problem.

When pressing the tailgate release button on the key fob I can’t hear it even try to release. 
 

I will try what Sierra 3.0 mentioned!

Yea, my idea was going to be stand the ATV up a little bit more on it's back wheels to relieve the pressure that is causing on the gate.

 

Careful where you push, have heard the T1's tailgate skin dent's very easy.

Figured it out. The quad wasn’t actually touching the tailgate. Ended up having to manually flip the latches where the stair connects to the main part of the tailgate. Fooled it into thinking the step was up. Once I did this the tailgate opened. Now time to go for a ride!

 

Thanks for chiming in folks!!

The ball mount should suffice.

I was going to say hitch. But I figured someone would chime in with a smart ass comment. ?

Yea if you even look at the multi pro wrong it will refuse to open.

 

A manual release would be greatly appreciated.

 

Seems like whatever the sensors are for determining open/close are VERY touchy.

It is designed to not open the main tailgate if the smaller portion is open.  It is a safety feature so that if you have a trailer hitch in and try opening the tailgate with the smaller tailgate already open, it won't let it.  Nothing wrong with it, it is designed that way to prevent possible damage.

Makes sense of course. Would be nice if they had some form of override for it though. I pull trailers around almost everyday so taking the hitch out is not an option!

      Needing this part.

      Still looks like a rivet to me in the pics, I don't see a nut and none of the pics show the head of the screw. But if you says so.....

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      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!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      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.
