My 2020 RST 6.2 will shut off automatically, which it should, but as I’m still waiting for the light it will come back on. Or a lot of time it won’t shut off at all

That's what it's supposed to do.

 

There is a limit to how long stop/start will stay off.  

There is a long list of things that will prevent it from stopping, or will restart before the timer. 

 

pg 232 in the '21 sierra ON

 

Auto Engine Stop/Start

 

When the brakes are applied and the vehicle is at a complete stop, the engine may turn off. When stopped, the tachometer displays AUTO STOP.

See Tachometer pg 109.

 

When the brake pedal is released or the accelerator pedal is pressed, the engine will restart.

 

To maintain vehicle performance, other conditions may cause the engine to automatically restart before the brake pedal is released.

 

Auto Stops may not occur and/or Auto Starts may occur because:
. The climate control settings require the engine to be running to cool or heat the vehicle interior.
. The vehicle battery charge is low.
. The vehicle battery has recently been disconnected.
. Minimum vehicle speed has not been reached since the last Auto Stop.
. The accelerator pedal is pressed.
. The engine or transmission is not at the required operating temperature.
. The outside temperature is not in the required operating range.
. The vehicle is in any gear other than D (Drive).
. Tow/Haul Mode or other driver modes have been selected.
. The vehicle is on a steep hill or grade.
. The driver door has been opened or the driver seat belt has been unbuckled.
. The hood has been opened.

. The Auto Stop has reached the maximum allowed time.

Completely normal.

There is a whole checklist of items that have to be in line for the auto shut off to activate in the first place. Then it can only stay off for so long. If your air conditioner is on, it will stay off for about half a minute. If the AC is off, it might stay off for two minutes.

 

...just like redwngr said.

Thank you guys for the information. It’s very helpful and reassuring. I love my truck. I found a used Rocky Ridge edition for a very good deal. It had 25000 miles and only 1 owner. It would suck to think it has issues already.

Put on e- brake.Put Truck in neutral  .Engine will stay running till it runs out of gas..  2019 1500

 

Pretty sure OP was asking about the 'auto stop/start' at a light,  not about it shutting off when idling in park. 

 

(although that question is frequently asked as well....)

Anybody know how to disable the idle shut down. Not the automatic start stop, the 15 minute idle timer. 

 

 

Wondering the same myself but know this wasn't original question. The manual says engine shuts off after :15. Would like to have it go longer so if I'm on a trip with my dog and I stop for a quick bite to eat I'd like AC to keep running a little longer. Will try e-brake on suggestion.

To disable the 15 minute auto shutoff, do the following.

 

When starting your truck, press AND hold in the start button for about 10 seconds. Then release. You will see a message on the dash that auto shutoff has been disabled. It will be disabled until the next time you shut off your truck. I do this everyday, while I am waiting for my soon to get out of school, so I can have the truck and the A/C running while I wait for him.

Another good idea to try out along with using electric parking brake and leaving truck in neutral. Helpful, thanks.

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Another JR · Posted

      I went to order some PF63 oil filters from an on line GM parts source, and the blue PF63 oil filters seem to be getting phased out. They show the new part number as 19363567, which is a black colored AC Delco Silver product apparently marked PF63A. Some sites show a part number 12693541, which is a black colored AC Delco Ultragard Gold filter marked UPF63R.    I assume the UPF63R is the better one, but I’d be happy if I could just get blue PF63 filters I’ve been using.    Can anyone explain what is going on with the filter part number changes and any actual design changes?  Any other advice on buying OEM filters right now?  Thanks

      HELP! DUMPING COOLANT

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      If anyone lands here looking for an update - the problem wasnt with the hose, the clamp, etc... I purchased a metal Thermostat housing that just must not of been made to spec. It just wouldn't plug up the hose.. Went back to a plastic cheap housing - leak fixed. Some plumbers tape carefully placed in tandem with a clamp likely would've gotten the job done.   Best,

      For anyone following, this is what I have deduced from this forum - and my very specific niche case. Please do let me know if you see me going in the wrong direction here. For context, I have a 16 sierra 1500 w/t. Has TC and Cargo light switches. Removed the switch to find the X1 and X2 of the S48A connection populated with wires (x1 10-14, and x2 1-5).   Took photos of the X61A-X5 to find the wires from S48A-X1 land here at their respective pins (10, 11, 17, 23 on the X5). Was hopeful that this means my X51A fuse box has the appropriate pins... No cigar. So now I will be routing wires from the rear of the X61A-X1 to the engine bay and to their respective negative relay triggers. Please see to the diagram. If any has insight as to where the S48A-X2 pins 4 and 5 land that would be awesome.   Will be attempting this sometime shortly and will likely make a youtube video out of it.   Note: please disregard fuse sizes. Main fuse will likely be 25A, all mini bus fuses will likely be 10-15A.   Here is my parts list: GM 84347199 - TC, Cargo Light, Exhaust Brake (useless to me unless I find a means to reconfigure), Aux 1 - 4. 12V 6 Way Pre-Wired Fuse Relay Box Kit with 4 x 40A 4-Pin Relays (link below - some mods required to make negative trigger)            https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0F4KCS43B?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 Various wire sizes (12 AWG - red and black, 14 AWG, 16 AWG multi-colored bundle) Wire termination leads for X61A-X1 (unknown at this time) Crimp connectors/Soldering Gun Heat Shrink Split Wire Loom To be continued...    Cheers
