I have a 2019 Sierre CCSB SLT X31 6.2. Whenever I use the 1 click/auto down function to control the front passenger window and then try to close the window by using the 1 click/auto up function, the window begins to rise, then stops about 1/4 of way up, then lowers itself again. Anyone else having this issue or know what could cause it?

Have you tried the window programming routine?

 

Programming the Power Windows

 

Programming may be necessary if the vehicle battery has been disconnected or discharged. If the
window is unable to express-up, program each express-close window:

 

1. Close all doors.

 

2. Turn the ignition on or to ACC/ ACCESSORY.

 

3. Partially open the window to be programmed.

Then close it and continue to pull the switch briefly after the window has fully closed.

 

4. Open the window and continue to press the switch briefly after the window has fully opened.

Thanks for enlightening me and providing those instructions. I had never heard of that before. It would never occur to me that system would require programming. Seems like the window needs to travel a certain distance or it could use limit switches at the top and bottom of travel, but I'm not an engineer. 

 

I followed the instructions, and it worked correctly a few times then it stop about an inch from being closed, then it went back to the original problem. I'll try again today.

If it's changed again that quickly on it's own it may be binding or have some other problem.

 

Time to make an appointment so it can be diagnosed.

I've owned a Canyon, two Silverados, and a Volt and every single one has had this problem. Is this a common GM thing? Every single one needed the actuator repaired under warranty

I've had about 15 or so GM vehicles (usually 2 here at a time, sometimes there have been 3 or 4) and I've never had to replace an actuator.  A good percentage of them ending up being high mileage vehicles, well out of warranty.

 

I think I've had to 'reprogram' the window in one of the trucks -- after trying to operate it when it was frozen in place due to freezing rain. 

 

I'd say that it's not common at all.

YMMV

I've had this issue off and on with my 2019 RST. I've mainly just found that the auto-up is very touchy to ANY disturbance in the window seal. 

 

Never tried the re-set thing mentioned above. Mine really only does this every once in a while. I usually clear my window seal/edge of any dirt or debris, then it works normally again.

I wonder if some of the truck/windows have glass that is mounted to the mechanism slightly out of place resulting in an increased chance of the glass binding in the track.

My 2019 Trail Boss also had this issue. The drivers window would roll half way up and then back down when using the auto up. It was very random as to when it did it. I tried reprogramming it, but with no success. I also didn't think it was old enough to accrue that much debris and dirt in the window tract. I took it to the dealer and they said they could not replicate it. On my drive home I tried it and it happened 80% of the time so I drove right back. They ended up investigating more and eventually replacing the regulator unit. I would suggest trying for a replacement before the warranty is up, because mine only seemed to get worse. Since the repair it hasn't happened a single time. I can take a picture of my paperwork if that helps anybody.

Mine still does it after resetting, but only about half the time. 

Then it probably has something loose or broken inside the door.

WAIT!  The passenger side has auto up?  I was pretty annoyed that my 2020 RST only works on the drivers side.  Auto DOWN on them both but UP only has ever worked on the drivers side.

OP has a GMC SLT trim.

No auto up on passenger side for the RST.  I think LTZ and up trim has the auto up passenger.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
