Hey guys. So my 2019 GMC Sierra Elevation has a new issue. When I shut her down and open the door the radio continues to play. I have to hit the power button for the radio/screen to shut down. If I return to the truck and hit the power button the radio turns on without turning it to accessory. I thought it might be that it needs an update. Well it’s connected to wifi at the house and it says no update or when I cycle on and off a couple times that now is not a good time...what is going on here. I’m expecting a dead truck in the next couple mornings to come. Also it’s very cold here. Any ideas?

I have the exact same issue, started this week. It does shut off about a minute after I get out and lock the truck.

Mine won’t. I can go back in after an hour or longer and turn it back on by hitting power. Why all of a sudden are these trucks doing this?

Does yours still do it? I have a feeling that many others are going to be experiencing this in the near future. Maybe the truck needs a vaccine.

I checked it again sitting out there for several hours. I can unlock it and hit power and viola radio turns on. Also notice that when I hit power again to “turn off” the screen in between the tach and speedometer goes black but still is on.

My truck was dead this morning.

I unlocked my truck last night to get something and then closed door, went back in house.

 

now I'm wondering if my truck had the radio in all night.

Check to see if there is a update for your truck you can do yourself 

Should be a open software update they sent out which you can check thru settings on your truck 

which when they send it out the radio will stay on even if you open the driver side front door 

seen it many times should take 10-15 minutes if there is a open software update

I have checked a bunch of times and it says no update available or the update button is greyed out. When greyed out it says now is not a good time etc, put in park and try again. Oh I’ve tried again and diddly squat...terrible feeling over here. I won’t be surprised when I try to start tomorrow or the next and it won’t. Hoping someone has the fix or knows why it’s doing this.

Mine did this for the first time this week. I had gotten notice of the update the same day. I wonder if it was staying on to prompt me for the notice, but won't if the truck is off.

It's only been a few days, but I haven't had it happen since I did the update. Might have been coincidence too.

This happened to me once but I just cycled the battery power by leaving the negative terminal unplugged for about 5 minutes and it hasn’t happened again

When it finally did the update was the truck connected to wifi at home or was it able to update via cellular on its own? Maybe if I let it run for a period of time it might update.

I might try this today if it won’t update. Does your truck have the update? What year is yours?

When I looked for an update it didn’t have anything available so I’m assuming mine is updated before all of this happened. Mine is a 2020. What is the current software?

      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.

      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
