Reaching out to see if anyone may have encountered this problem. 21 Sierra 1500 AT4, key fob as well as app will work every function of truck remotely but will not recognize fob to allow pushbutton entry or start. Only way to start truck is to put fob in center of cupholders and service department is currently at a loss.

CR2032 is the battery used. 

They are cheap and readily available. 

 

I'd also try that first. 

 

Change instructions are in the OM

I had this same issue a few weeks ago on a 21 Silverado RST.  I just changed the batteries in both fobs and haven't had a problem since.

I have recently had the same problem. I had just installed manual switch on my AMP power boards. The door was open for a long time while I was doing this. I have read other post about windshields being tinted with similar problem. There thoughts were that a sensor was getting wet and drying out because after 24hrs the problem righted itself. I believe it has something to do with the time the doors are open. I initially got remote not detected and then service steering column lock. I have replaced both batteries in my remotes. Neither are recognized. I have tried to reprogram both remotes 3 times with no resolve.  It has been 3 days since the issue started so no resolve after 24hours. Truck starts and remotes work by manually pushing the buttons, but i have to place the remote in the cupholder to start my Truck. I have a dealer appt in 10 Days. I will keep you posted.

Keyless entry (button on the door handles) uses a separate antenna in the center console...different from the antenna that handles the button functions on the actual key fob itself. Maybe there's an issue with this? Push button start is separate though, I believe.

I swapped my center console earlier, and while I had my center console out, my door buttons wouldn't work, but everything else worked just fine.

 

Have you tried changing the batteries on the fob like other have suggested or trying to use your spare fob?

That is the only post he made (sept '21) and he hasn't logged in since Oct '21.

 

Probably not getting a response.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
