I have these on my 2021 Sierra Denali Ultimate and had them on my 2017 as well.  NEVER one issue even in winter when they are packed with snow and ice, always work as designed.

does anyone have an update after having the bulletin done? my passenger board fails to deploy about 50% of the time

I have an appointment in the a.m. to "re-learn" mine to see if that fixes the problem. I'll let you know if it works

You better feel lucky, because I've heard they are worse with snow & ice involved. Actually, I have heard of people just removing them and putting fixed boards on instead.

Sorry, not yet as I had to reschedule the appointment. I will say that my boards have hardly done that in a while, been working great!

last week they replaced the motor on the driver board and it made no difference..so in the same boat...i did tell them about the bulletin and they said i have the latest software so still have the same issue

Have you guys thought about ripping them off and just installing fixed steps? That’s what I would do for sure. Well that’s what I did do because my truck didn’t come with any.

Had my appointment yesterday at local dealership. They ran a scan for codes, made sure eveyrthing was "learned" & up to date but found nothing. The boards have only acted up a couple of times in the past month, and have possibly fixed themselves???? They've been working great for quite some time anyhow.

i have a hunch the dealers are misleading both of you. the bulletin just came out recently. unless your truck rolled off the assembly line fairly recently, i doubt it has the latest bulletin software update.

 

i will have mine updated when i take my truck in for its first service

Bob were you getting alot of crap up under the actuation components? Sand, snow, ice etc. Hell I could not use these here in Colorado because the rocks, snow, sand, ice etc would jam it up.

No, they've been pretty free of debris. Initially, the tech thought rocks getting in the arms were causing it, but they would act up when completely clean. It's not sending any codes to read, and has been working great for awhile now, so it's hard to diagnose. They're is no reason for the dealership to lie about their findings, especially when they know they'll have to continually deal with it until resolved.

And my truck was just in 2 days ago,  so I'm sure your dealership doesn't have anything newer than that...

Did your dealer follow the bulletin 22-NA-169 (released 8/15/22) and update the software?

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
