Is anyone able to verify if the connection to the BCM for the Illuminated Door Sills has changed from the 2022 GMC Sierra Denali Black X1 connector Pin 1 location on a 2023 GMC Sierra Denali?  With all the chip issues it wouldn't surprise me of changes from year over year.

 

Thank you.

Looking for this information too. I believe this would solve one of my questions with trying to tap into the dome light for floor LEDs. Not the slow fading action, just to function like the dome lights where pushing the buttons on top that normally control the dome, would control my LEDs too. I read another feed that mentioned the X1 pin 1 on the black plug. They also dropped a PDF for a 22 Denali since there were slight changes from the 21. (Attached. Picture quality is a little rough.) Of course having a 23 elevation refresh makes me a little nervous to poke around and be wrong. Hoping someone else did that nerve racking task for me. 😬

I couldn't wait.  So I have my sills connected to the BCM X1 connector Pin 1 and that appears to still be correct from the 2022 install instructions. Turns on when it is supposed to, doesn't come on with Dome lights disabled.  There is a very quick fade in, but not as slow as the dome lights.

 

Controller closest to wheel wheel, and the Black connector closest to the front of the vehicle.  

 

Hope this helps.  Just wish I knew what the current limit was, as I want to add some footwell LEDs as well.

That's a very good point about the current. I have 4 and each pulls .07amps. I think I can get away with it. 

 

If I were in your spot, I'm thinking a relay might be a play. My limited knowledge would think the 86 post would be the trigger for the leds. Should alleviate the issue? I imagine you would tap into your harness connected to the pin?

 

The controller closest to the wheel well (looking from the steering wheel) is the top/closest to steering) one of the two?

Wow that last sentence was bad. I attached what I see from the foot well. 

 

From your statement, it looks like it would be the row pictured on the left? There's a black one on the far right.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      I had an 88 K1500 with a 5.7 that had those symptoms, I know totally different, it ended up being the ECM. Once you get the fuel system fixed if it still runs lousy you may want to investigate that. it didn't set any codes, stalled ,ran rough at times etc

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
