Tried that. Didn't work for me. I am excited about the start button press etc..

Has anybody had any luck figuring out what the problem to this is? My 2021 GMC Sierra SLT has started doing this in the mornings.

God I'm starting to miss the days of fixing trucks with a test light and dwell meter!

Driver's master window switch.  We just had a truck in 4 times within 2 weeks.  It was bad to the point that it killed the battery.  The one we had kept putting the truck in to "key learning active" t

Did you see the TSB I posted earlier in this thread? Knock on wood mines been fine so far.

Sorry for my ignorance for what may be a stupid questions but what is TSB? Technical Service Bulletin? If so, what exactly did the dealership do to fix yours? I tried the “cheat code” and it worked fine but it’s been doing it the last 3 days for me. Typically in the mornings and throughout the day it is fine.

Can you repost it? I saw THAT you posted there was a bulletin, but I'm not seeing details of the bulletin itself from you...

It wouldn't let me quote, but there's the technical service bulletin.

Thanks for this! I scheduled an appointment for Thursday with my local dealership. Did you get charged for this? My truck is out of warranty at 51K miles but I did purchase an extended warranty. Rep quoted me $200 just for a diagnostic… Hopefully this is an easy fix.

Unfortunately it is not an easy fix and you should not be charged for this known issue. GM has dropped the ball on this. It will take something more, I fear, before we get them to take responsibility for this.

I know you have been dealing with this for 2 years. Have you gotten yours fixed? Does it happen to you every single day or does it go away for a while and comeback?

If it happened every day they could probably find a solution. No, it just happens at the most inconvenient times. It is generally after a remote start so it occurs more in the colder months. But I have had it happen other times as well. It is a known issue to GMC but they leave it to the dealerships to find the answer. This is something the company should be troubleshooting and fixing. Mine started under the original warranty and I have an extended warranty as well. I feel for those who have had this begin after the original warranty. It is still not fixed even after the replacement of the BCM and various other items. GMC tried to close the case earlier but it is not closed with me. I am waiting to hear from my dealership (who are as perplexed as I am) to see if they have received any help from GMC. I fear the next step is my attorney. I am very sorry for your issue. It takes a truck that you love and makes you question its reliability every day. I can tell you that sucks!

I used the truck over the last 3 days. Went to use it today and completely dead. I had to use the key in the remote to get in so I could open the hood. Dead as a doornail. I'm at the end of my rope. I've been a good guy about it but I  am realizing I am wasting my time. No one is taking this seriously. I am after almost three years of this crap.

Hey Mike, sorry you still have to go through this. Just thought I would update you, not sure if this fixed the problem for me but my truck has been fine for days now. It seemed to me that the truck was in “learning mode” and the cycle never finished which is why it wouldn’t start at times. I figured out that “cheat code” of holding the start button is the way to get out of the “learning mode” so what I did was looked up a video on how to program the remote. You have to insert the key manually and turn it clockwise 5 times. When I did this in the dash it went straight to “ready for remote 3” it didn’t start learning cycle from the very beginning. This is why it lead me to think that the whole time the truck was in “learning mode” but never finished. I kept trying and eventually the cycle started from the beginning. You have to turn the key counter clockwise 5 times the dash while say “learning mode” you press the start button and wait ten minutes and repeat three times. By the third time you place the remotes in the center console. Once the dash says “ready for remote 3” you press the start for 12 seconds to exit and finish the remote learning process. Once again, not sure if this fixed it for me but it makes sense from my thinking and my truck has been fine ever since. Hope this helps

Right now the truck is completely dead. I put a trickle charge on it and the lights would randomly flash about every 30 seconds. I put a full charger on it and it immediately triggered the alarm. I hit lock on the remote. Everything is crazy saying service the power steering,  lower the driver window, service power brakes, etc.. I  figure this is due to the drained battery. I put the charger in start mode and let it go for a few minutes. I pushed on the brake and pushed on the start. The truck tried to start but pushed the brake pedal back at me almost immediately and died. The only good news is it is happening at my house so at least I'm not stranded. The good news for many of you out of warranty is that those of us who have been dealing with this while it was originally under warranty are just as screwed.

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!
