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.

      The Peckish Synapse

      Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?

      Gas Prices

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
