Good idea. I hear ford's never have any sort of quality issues.

Had the same issue with my 2022 the dealer finally replaced the rear backup camera and so far it has not re-occured in over a 2 month.

The manufacturer has no idea whatsoever on how to fix this problem, let alone what causes it. Nor are they willing to replace anything.   Probably would have been better off buying a ford.

If anyone else is experiencing this issue at night, ask the dealership to lookup PIT5991.

Hi Gravel, is this a TSB that gm issued?

Yes, it's titled Rearview Camera Intermittent in Low Light Conditions.

 

However, when I spoke w/ Chevrolet customer service in an attempt to get some more information, they tried to convince me that the dealership made this and they had no way of locating it. I don't believe this to be true as multiple dealerships were able to look it up and confirm that it was generated by GM.

 

It's getting a bit annoying at this point as I do a lot of night driving and the camera is essentially ineffective.

I forgot to mention, there is currently no fix. It just says that engineering is working on identifying the cause and to not replace any parts.

I went to back out of a parking spot last Thursday after a quick drink stop 2 hours into a 4-hour drive (in my '23 Sierra Denali) and I got that same screen.  No backup camera, no any cameras - just the error screen.  No camera Friday or Saturday, but nothing else unusual.  Sunday - dead battery, and I needed a jumpstart.   I drove 4 hours home and called the dealer Monday.  They can look at it in two weeks. 🙄  Yesterday (Wed), I opened the door and the running board came out, but the truck wouldn't start again, the dash gave me a myriad of errors (4wd, brake system, TCS, etc) which I'm sure was to the low voltage.  I hooked a battery charger up - 12 amp setting, Automatic Charger and current regulated - for 5 hours and the charge needle was still pegged and the charger was pretty warm, so I dropped it to the 2 amp setting and left it for another 3 hours and unplugged it when I went to bed.  I went out this morning to see if it would start.  I think it was reading about 12.3 volts - it fired right up.  I got the GMC logo on the infotainment screen for an extended period - probably 20-30 seconds and when it finally came up, I had lost the stored radio settings BUT I had cameras again.  I don't think I have a shorted cell in the battery (I'm reading 12+ volts) but I'm not driving it for fear of it leaving me stranded.  I was supposed to head out of town in it for the weekend, but I don't trust it, so I'm going to leave it in the garage without a Battery Tender on it and see if it starts on Sunday when I get back.  I don't know if I have a parasitic draw killing the battery or if my month-old truck has a bad battery.  I was thinking something with the camera system shorted and that was killing the battery, but now that the cameras are back, I don't know.  I didn't have any battery issues until right after the cameras went out.  Coincidence?  I don't think low voltage caused the first camera error as I had been highway driving for 2 hours immediately before with no signs of a weak battery before then - the battery should have had a good charge and continued to work fine the next two days, then the next morning, it didn't have enough juice to crank the starter.  The problem with the truck is troubling - BUT having to wait TWO WEEKS to have it looked at is MORE troubling.  At least I have an $80,000 tailgate workbench in the garage now while I work on other things and drive something else.

I would drop a dime on the dealer at GMC customer service. 2 week wait to cure a possible defective battery is unacceptable. You spent big bucks on that truck. 

Low system voltage on start-up will confuse modules in the system as that's when they boot up and battery provides stable voltage until charging system comes online. Solid battery is the foundation for our computers on tires.

My 22 has been doing this since the day I bought it. It's been to 3 different dealers and none have found anything wrong of course. No updates available according to all of them.

Have you heard anything new on this? Last I checked I was told there is still no fix.

No fix yet, they said to call the dealer every couple of weeks and touch base with them. Very frustrating and amazing that they can even find a work around for their own product. This has been happening for some time with several different models. So I wouldn’t hold my breath for a fix. No telling if engineers are even working on it.

Thanks for the information.  The backup camera on my 2022 Refresh 1500 LT is also drops out and then comes back on at night.

 

One question - Since the PITT5991 only specifies 2023 Silverados, does anyone know if this also applies to 2022 Refresh Silverados as well?

 

Thanks!

According to the bulletin, it does not. You can review the one files with NHTSA here.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      If everything checks out at the MAF, then the MAF is BAD, new or not.   You don't need a signal generator to troubleshoot this. PCM needs ALL powers and ALL grounds able to light a halogen headlight bulb - if it can light the bulb bright, then the wiring is good enough to run the PCM.   Best thing you can do for yourself is spend some time here: scannerdanner.com - Check out all his YouTube videos on similar issues. If you decide to subscribe it's the best bang-for-buck ratio in the automotive world, hands-down. He's got TONS of free vids on YouTube, too.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      Yes, I used my multimeter to probe all of the wires at the MAF, both with the sensor connected, sensor disconnected, key on engine off, key on engine running, etc etc etc. I probed all of the wires again at the PCM, at the connectors, etc. All voltages are what they should be according to the service manual/wiring diagrams. All grounds are good, less than 20 millivolts from the battery negative under load. Both at the connector of the MAF, at the PCM connector etc.      I know this throws a pretty big wrench into things, but this truck was acting up before the swap. I don't have very much information, if any on what was causing it, but if you cleared all of the dtcs it would do the same thing where it would crank, fire, then die. And it would do the same thing a dozen or so times, and eventually it would start and run, but the difference is that it would run and actually be drivable. Whereas now if you can drive it at all, it goes into reduced power mode almost immediately, and even then it's not running correctly. When you come to a stop at a light it stumbles down to for 500 RPM before catching itself and returning to the smooth idle. And if you go more than about 50% throttle then it immediately goes back to doing the misfire thing.    Like I said, I know that throws a wrench into things, and unfortunately I was not able to pull any data or anything like that before I did this work, so I don't have much to go on.    I'm trying to not fixate on one particular thing as the cause of the problem, but it seems like all avenues are pointing me towards the PCM. Like I said I have tested the wiring extensively (see above), and during cranking the sensor does produce seemingly legitimate values at least according to my multimeter, but as soon as the engine fires those values quickly descend into gibberish. I've tried it with multiple different known working sensors, I have done literally every test I can think of multiple times on the wiring (probing the signals, probing the pins with the sensors unplugged, probing the pins at the PCM, voltage drop, voltage drop under load, continuity, ohms, and double-checking everything against the wiring diagrams/ proper values in the service data.)    Another thing that pushes me towards a possible PCM failure is, I have noticed in troubleshooting a little bit taking a break and coming back, that when I leave the truck to sit for a while and cool off, it starts and runs smoothly when I first start it up. However once it warms up. It starts having problems. For example, when I went out to the truck this morning after it had been sitting overnight, I was actually able to drive it down the block. And then once I got on the throttle a Little bit after going about a thousand ft, it started misfiring again. I pulled it back into the driveway, shut it down, and started it back up. It idled smoothly. As soon as I touched the throttle it did the misfire thing again. From then on as soon as I started it it would misfire. I shut the truck off and went to go get a coffee and do a bit more research. When I came back out I started the truck up and it immediately went into the smooth idle. After a couple of minutes of playing around with it, it would not idle smoothly anymore. Let it sit a couple of hours, rinse and repeat. This makes me think with temperature change something is going wrong inside the PCM. I have the PCM out of the 2007 donor vehicle and I'm thinking of getting a one-day subscription to the ACDelco programming service to try and program that and see if it helps.   Like I said, I'm really trying to not fixate myself on one potential cause, but it seems everything is pointing me towards PCM failure. I would really like to try to confirm that, but unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope or a signal generator to do the GM service procedure where you feed 5 khz into the signal pin.

      Ahh, sorry about that - I got some bad info. Newdude is correct. That's what I get for working 13 hours straight ... on my "vacation", lol.   Should've checked the files I had instead of the internet.   Anyway ... this is GREAT news, since this would've been an absolute friggin nightmare to get working.   I don't think the lack of VVT is causing this - you've got another issue. Wiring, I'm betting.   I'm telling you right now, your computer isn't bad. If it worked before the swap, it's working now. You need to do some more (better) diagnostics and figure out exactly what you're missing. Did you test every wire directly at the MAF? Have 5V reference? Ground? If you're reading ZERO g/s, your Hz isn't much use - it's going to be the wrong value anyway. The MAF is not working, and you need to find out WHY.   I got this off the net, so VERIFY first: Pin A: Black (BLK) wire, Circuit 552, serves as the Sensor Return (Ground).  Pin B: Tan (TAN) wire, Circuit 472, carries the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) signal.  Pin C: Yellow (YEL) wire, Circuit 492, is the primary MAF Sensor Signal output to the PCM. Pin D: Pink (PNK) wire, Circuit 339 or 539, provides Ignition 1 Voltage (Power).  Pin E: Tan/Black wire, Circuit 552 or similar, often associated with the Intake Air Temperature ground or signal return.  Global-A list: https://postimg.cc/KKJnQC85

      Correct....the end user can't reach to Realtruck directly like they can if they purchase a Bak, Undercover, etc...  It has to go through a dealer.
