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.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off you mentioned "Toyo Says" and then gave the pressures 45/50, was this some person at the tire shop that pulled those numbers out of his head ?   Now of course I can't know your exact axle weights front and rear, however I have much the same pickup as yourself other than not knowing your starting weight as per the pounds the truck rolled out of the factory at due to the options yours did or didn't come with or what you have added beyond the extra tire weight. The correct way to know 100% where a person is at is by weighing each axle with the typical weight the vehicle is driven with and that means taking into account passengers and making sure you figure in a full tank of fuel and a little grace for whatever you may put in the bed "groceries" !    I am looking at and not that it really matters as all the tire companies use the same charts anyway, but I am looking at the comprehensive Toyo tire chart in the section that your tire falls under and I know it sounds confusing but your tire is not an LT metric tire like your factory tire but instead because its a standard inch measured tire its under a different category called an LT floatation series tire. That makes a difference as LT metric tires they don't want to see run below 35 psi at highway speed where as with the LT floatation series it can be run down to 25 psi on the highway as long as the weight on the said size of tire is agreeable with or less than that minimum 25 psi. It blows many people away that how is this physically possible, an empty truck for one thing and larger tires with the same size wheel diameter have a lot more air volume so they can carry the same weight as the smaller tire with less air pressure.    So my truck, I have the stock 275/65R20 wheels and tires and I have a bit of weight in the box with a bak flip cover and a rubber bed mat and some tools and spare gas. The front of my gas truck weighs a bit more than some trucks of the similar spec due to double batteries and alternators. However with full fuel and just me in the truck I am weighted such that I can run 40 front and 35 rear and so that is what I have done since day one.    If I base your truck at or slightly below the weight of my truck, in theory with your tires going by the tire chart you might be right around a minimum of 30 pounds front and 25 pounds rear. Of course that would hit pretty much minimum cold inflation pressure one could run with that tire size and a near empty truck. If you have access to an accurate weigh scale to do individual front and rear axle weights I would suggest you do that and make sure your topped up with fuel and whatever else in the truck before you weigh it and then you will have a great starting point to work off of and figure out what your bare minimum pressures are you can safely run. If you do much in the way of hot weather high speed driving, bumping up a bit for a safety margin is never a bad idea but just depends on what type of driving you do. I will include the Toyo chart and the floatation series sizes start on page 31. Without a doubt at these pressures I am speculating at minimum wise for your truck, it would most certainly ride very different then it did when you were using 55 lb front and rear.     https://www.toyotires.com/media/pxcjubjs/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      This landing is worse than most. Patchy blacktop with washouts, soft gravel/sand at bottom that washes out with every heavy rain. I tell everyone to put it in 4WD. A lot of them think they can pull out their trailer in 2WD. They end up digging a hole and then putting it in 4WD.  The lake is a pristine lake and has a lot of money on it. There are several wake boats and lot of large tritoons. The people with the money don't want it improved because they don't want more traffic.    Boat Landing 1.jfif Boat Landing 2.jfif Boat Landing 3.jfif
