09 Silverado crew cab 4wd. After programming the key fob it won’t work?? The truck will beep accepting the fob then does nothing. No codes,no check engine light,a few new electric parts (brake and oil switches,cruise control is back but key fob only works to program then nothing. Tpms is working fine reading all 4 tires so I wouldn’t think it’s the receiver. I need  some advice on what to try next? I’m wearing out the only key hole in the truck:)  thanks in advance!!  I just went out and tried the tpms reset with the fob and the horn honked and it went into reset mode,all tpms still good but fob will not lock,unlock,panic or start.zero response from truck unless in some form of programming mode(tpms reset,remote relearn)

I really can't help you on your fob problem, as I dont have an 09, but I have seen plenty of people who complain because they got the wrong fob and couldn't get it to program. Hopefully that isnt your issue.

I’ve kinda ruled out the fobs because the truck will recognize them in program mode but once out of relearn mode the truck won’t respond

How many fobs are  you trying to program to the vehicle?  Are there any other vehicles with fobs within 50-100 feet?

 

It is possible your fob is dead, whether it is the battery or the electronics itself.  Just had one go the other day, the lock button on it quit working.  We keep 5 programmed to the truck so no big deal.

I have 2 and they both respond the same way.the truck will accept them in learn mode then they immediately don’t work. I’ve tested all the buttons on a rf reader they all work and holding lock and unlock on the fob is how it syncs in learn mode. Everything to do with the fobs seems to be working and everything with the receiver seems to be working (tpms,accepting fobs in learn mode) I can’t figure it out!!

Well, if that is the case, it is likely that your Remote Control Door Lock Receiver needs replacing.  A bi-directional scan tool can read BCM codes and would allow for further diagnostic testing.

 

If you do replace the RCDLR, it will have to be programmed but you may get away with a used one that has the same options as yours.

I just went and pulled the receiver from behind the rear door trim and took it apart it looks fine no water damage or broken solder. I still don’t know how it’ll  sync remotes and read my tire pressure and be bad. A used one with matching numbers is only $25 on eBay so it’s worth $25 to see if that’s the problem. I’ll post back after it gets here with good news or more help. Thanks!!

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
