Press and hold the start button with foot off the brake. Might take 10 seconds

Should be able to just momentarily push button (w/o pressing brake pedal) and get acc power. Keyless button will have a amber light. Push and hold button for so long and everything wakes up, with a green light.

I've look thru the owner manual and found ZIP regarding this - was this discovered by trial & error ?

Page 234 of the 2021 Owners Manual. 
 

With foot off brake momentary push of start switch puts you in accessory mode. With foot off brake 5 second hold of start switch puts you in service mode.

Found It

LOL Just 5 minutes active

 

ACC/ACCESSORY (Amber Indicator Light) :
This mode allows some electrical accessories
to be used when the engine is off.

 

With the ignition off, pressing the ENGINE
START/STOP button one time without the
brake pedal applied will place the ignition
system in ACC/ACCESSORY.


The ignition will switch from ACC/
ACCESSORY to off after five minutes to
prevent battery rundown.

Salesman's job is to give the new customer a run through of the new vehicle.  My salesman rode with me to the gas station explained all the features and put in whatever brand on gas I wanted, even premium (had company credit card) fuel in my 6.2L.

You got a good one then.  They are not all like that.

I have no problem getting the Acc. on for 5 min. without starting the motor but is there anyway to extend the acc. time on more than the 5 or 10 min. allotted? It would be nice to listen to some Sirius XM while detailing my interior!!!

I was trying this yesterday as I was waiting in the truck for wife to finish picking up some stuff. Something not mentioned is you need to have the keys in the vehicle. If it senses no key it will not go into this mode. Guess that is a good thing.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.

      Oil Consumption

      By diyer2 · Posted

      I have changed oil and filter for years by starting a cold engine to warm oil up, let it run 5-10 minutes depending on temperature. Drain until it starts dripping, refill with quantity from owners manual or get it close.

      Fluid Change Questions

      I changed the factory fill oil in the rear diff of my truck for the first time today and the miles is close to 9000 on the truck. There was a lot of fines on the magnet, a very thick layer but working it through my fingers it all felt like mush and as most know it appears like graphite, so no surprise chunks anyway. Certainly was time to do it from my thinking and could have been done sooner but the oil didn't look awful but sure wasn't new looking and never expected it to either. I did use some solvent to help me clean out the bottom area of the axle housing, just get any other stuff settled at the bottom washed and wiped out of the housing for the bit of effort it takes. I used Amsoil Severe Gear 75W90 in the easy packs to try out what they are like and I used up 4 packs and didn't spill much at all in the process but did take all four of the packs and go to the work bench and emptied them into a measuring container and there certainly was some in them that added up to something, then poured that into one of the easy packs and squirted in what I could get out of it. I would say the level is within 1/8th of an inch of being level with the threads at the fill plug so just the perfect amount. Once again, more than what GM says the fill volume is but computes with what others are adding to their rear diffs as well.
