Hello-Has anyone had this issue...turned off truck and on the outside of truck the right turn signal flashed a couple times. then a few mins the left did it. I do have a appt to take it in but of course the two dealership services I called had no idea what it could be. TIA.

Hey Charlie, I have had this same question for quite some time now and I still can’t find an answer. Have you heard back from anyone about this situation, if so fill me in please and thank you.

Hello, I just seen this happen on my 2020 chevy silverado custom . The right turning signal just started flashing with the truck off and alarmed. It is raining out and not sure if moisture has anything to do with it. I would appreciate any feedback if anyone has the same issues.

My truck still does this and the Chevy dealers around me have not been able to tell me what it is doing. its still randomly blinks. sometimes just one tail light. or just a front light. sometimes together. Hopefully someone will figure it out.

I have a 2020 Silverado and it does the same. Turn signals randomly flash after truck is parked and running or when it is turned off and doors are locked. Seems there are a lot of the same problems here.

That means that your tire pressure is low on that tire, these trucks blink even if the dash light isn't on.

Seems like this is the most plausible as I do have one tire with low pressure. But it starts blinking on my drivers side and my low tire is passenger. Why in the hell does our trucks have to tell everyone else that the tire is low in air. Dumbest feature by far. Sure makes a guy want to get air considering its a sore thumb all blinky blinky......

If this is the true reason (low tire pressure) why would the dealership not know this? Lindners Chevrolet charged me $85.00 to "flash the computer" to stop the random flashing. Whatever they did if anything did not stop the random flashing. I really hope this low tire pressure is true. 

 

Thanks all

Just had this issue with my 2019 Tahoe it had been sitting for a year so all four tires were low. Aired up all four tires and the intermittent turn signal flashing stopped.

I had the same issue. as i was putting air in the tire it started blinking again. and when it reached the pressure, the horn beeped! kinda cool but weird all at the same time.

I have a 2024 Trialboss and mine flash at random times as well and I come to find out it’s due to the air pressure you have in your tires!! If one is low the signal will flash at the tire that is low and or lower than others so if all your tires have different pressure all but the one with the money air will flash..

Anybody ever have it on a 2020 Chevy trail boss when you use your right blinker your bright lights flash? Doesn’t do it when you use the left blinker. It’s only the right blinker and mostly when you click it all the way up.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      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?
