I got the below message on my screen last night. Started the truck up but the screen remained black. After a few minutes this screen came on. Stayed this way for about 15 minutes and even stayed on after turning the truck off. 

 

Anyone else had this happen before and what was your solution?

I had the same issue on an updated factory unit for my Sierra. I had purchased it from a 3rd party to get Android Auto and called them and they sent me a new unit and I sent them back the malfunctioning one.

Sorry for bumping up an old thread... 

 

I just had this happen to me. Single and negative digit temps for last couple days. I don't drive much. During this time, I took a 2 block drive each way one day and a 2 mile drive each way another day. Last night, I was going to run out and grab dinner for myself, my daughter, and my young sun. When trying to remote start, I saw tail lights flashed once for lock and then just flash once for remote start instead of normal 2 times and no start. I already knew this meant low battery. I jump started with my daughter's Honda Pilot and let it run for a bit. I drove to get the food, left it running, then drove back home. The whole time since jump starting, the entertainment screen displayed the "Waiting for Update" message the whole time. After getting back home, I dragged my battery charger out and left it plugged in overnight. 

 

This morning, I was planning on trying to pull the Head Unit fuse as was described in the service bulletin for this problem. I searched before going out and none of the fuses were labeled for that. The closest I found was the #18 fuse in passenger side panel for the radio. I went out, disconnected the charger and remote started. It was a bit sluggish but started. I pulled off the passenger side fuse cover and was searching for the fuse I had identified and for kicks decided to put key in ignition and turn to on. Entertainment screen came on normal so no need to pull fuse #18. 

 

So it seems like this can happen with a low voltage battery condition and once battery is charged back up fully, the entertainment system will work properly again.

Well I thought it was working normally but when I plugged in my phone to use Android Auto, I got a big red screen on my phone with error message and Android Auto wouldn't start. 

 

First I tried turning off the Silverado and opening door to completely turn it off and it wouldn't work. The error message on phone stated to check date and time on radio. So I went to settings on radio and that's when I noticed the time was off. I reset that and then checked the date. It showed Jan 1, 2013. Well that wasn't right so I fixed that. I tried again and got same phone error message. I tried restarting phone but still no good. I then tried deleting my phone in radio settings under Android Auto, still wouldn't work. I deleted the Silverado from the phone under the phone settings. Still not working. I also went back into radio settings and turned off Android Auto and then turned it back on but no luck.

 

Finally when I got to my destination, I turned off the Silverado and went inside. I was going to do a factory reset on the radio when I came back out to see if that would do the trick. I came back out some time later and after starting truck, connected usb cord to my phone and this time it finally worked. That was frustrating but I know what to expect the next time this happens. Not sure what the thing that finally worked but I know the date and time needed to be fixed. If it happens again, these are the steps I will try. Delete the phones saved in radio and vehicles in the phone, turn Android Auto off in radio settings, restart phone, turn vehicle and radio fully off, restart truck, turn Android Auto back on in radio settings, and then plug USB back into phone.

It is a known issue. There is a SAE bulletin on it. Your dealer will fix it with a software update free of charge.

I apologize that I never came back and updated this thread. I haven't encountered this problem again since I posted. I just went and checked my HMI Build Version and I do have 15.2B033 which that service bulleting says would need to be reprogrammed. But as long as everything is working properly, I'm just going to store that bulletin away until a future problem. Thanks.

Hello I was searching to know why my truck I just started chiming yesterday. My daughter and I went to the store and I lat her drive and I set in the passenger seat. When we were in motion the chiming would start but nothing show on the screen.. So now I'm reading that others are experiencing the same thing. Someone mentioned in the forum to check seatbeats., doors etc..So now I'm remembering what happened while I was sitting in the passenger seat. I kelp fastening the seat belt in the wrong clip. I was putting it in the middle one. under the arm rest!!!! Hopefully that helps ..

Just again this morning my husband and I went to breakfast. He sat on the passenger side  and buckled his seatbelt. When we were getting out he couldn't unbuckle his seat belt. So I started helping him and each time he had bucket it in the wrong clip that belonged to the middle seat belt.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
