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 followed up with your suggestion and attached the photograph of the error that happened the very same day we picked the vehicle up from the dealership that was supposed to address this problem.

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.

      Anyone had to replace their Onstar module a.k.a. Telematics unit?

      By davester · Posted

      Hasn't come up in the 3 gm forums I follow. And only gm knows the frequency of failure of that part. LMG, you want a recall so it's replaced for free...

      Transmission Woes :-(

      You need a better code reader/scanner.  You are missing codes.  Did the dealer give you a copy of the SAVI scan from that visit?     If the fluid hasn't been changed, change it.  Shudder will likely go away.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By newdude · Posted

      TLDR to my other post...   Hard. Pass.  Too many what ifs.     Are you set on a 3.0 Duramax?  Have you considered anything not GM just in case?  If you don't have to have a pickup, lots of other options for $27,000 out there.

      I see some red flags.   - No mention in the Carfax if the oil pump belt was changed.  LM2s had a 150,000mi service interval, and its got 164,245mi on it.  So right out the gate it needs about $3000-3500 for that to be done before driving it another 150,000mi.  Belt is at the rear of the engine.     - If something happens to the transmission valve body, the special coverage is expired by mileage.  That will likely be an out of pocket expense, with zero or near zero GM participation if something happened even though its in by time.   - 2020 LM2s seem to need timing chains after 80,000mi at some point.  They fixed this end of 2020/starting 2021 model year engines.  They will usually set a P0016 I think?  There is another $8000-10,000 if it needs a chain.  The main chain is at the back, secondary at the front so the pump belt would be done at the same time if it needed chains.     - Long oil change intervals.  7,000-8,000mi on average, probably close to 0% or perhaps to or beyond 0% on the OLM.  Lots of them not at the dealer which makes me wonder how much of the oil ran through that truck was the proper Dexos D rated 0w20 oil and not just gas engine 0w20, which is not the same at all.     - Long fuel filter changes, again likely taking the fuel filter life to 0% or more.  First one went 28,603, second was done 43,094 miles later at 71,697, from there another 46,452mi to 118,149mi, and then the most recent one 37,026mi later at 155,175mi.  So counting its original fuel filter, its had only 4 fuel filters on it.  No bueno IMO.         Good news?    - It has had only two warranty trips to the dealer.  The first free service (end of December 2020 on the Carfax), and the transmission reprogram recall (end of August 2025 on the Carfax).     - Truck did a LOT of moving, so that might explain the lack of emissions related repairs like bad NOX sensors, bad exhaust temp sensors, bad glow plugs, etc.         The "emissions system checked" could just be how something was flagged for Carfax.  GM dealers have to do SAVI reports for warranty repair orders so they scan the truck.  So its possible that is there for that?

      Thank you, @Z45!   NOTE - No all repair shop/Dealers reports to Carfax   That is my main concern.  The CARFAX looks way too clean for a 6 year old anything with 164,245 miles.  Even something known for reliability (like many Toyotas) typically has a lot more replaced, like a Nav screen, interior trim, shock/strut, or brake pads.  And surely the last set of tires (installed at ~58k miles) would be bald unless those were all highway miles.   I'm tempted to pay a local dealer to look up the VIN, but am not sure if that will be worthwhile.  Last time I did this, it was 100% useless, and I felt scammed - they noted the bumper was replaced years ago and that's it.  A 5-year old could spot the accident damage, even though nothing was on the CARFAX.   After giving the dealer a call, the truck may have a hard shift, but they have to verify with their mechanic if that's even a concern.  And I've test driven about a dozen of these now, many near Chicago, and half the trucks shift hard/odd at all throttle positions.  The ones with aftermarket lifts/larger tires shift terrible, and 3 stock trucks shifted so violently I thought the transmission valve body was going out.   At this point I'm conflicted, as I need a vehicle, and am coming up short locally.  Northern trucks in this price range tend to have either multiple owners, a lot of mods (lifts/oversized tires without re-gearing), and are generally in rougher shape.   If this truck showed up in your neighborhood for $27k and you had to purchase it sight-unseen, with the possibility of needing a 10L80 rebuild, torque converter, or rear end - would you do it?  I'm convinced most of the 10L80 trucks I test drove are broken, they can't all shift so bad, with massive flares/slipping/lurching and mis-matched downshifts like a teen driver learning stick.
