This morning I went out to go get trade value on my 2018 Sierra SLT from my dealer toward a 23 or 24. When I started truck the Forward Collision System warning came on. I guess my truck likes it’s home and doesn’t want to leave! I checked and cleaned sensors on bumper and started again warning still there. I checked area behind bumper to check where sensors are plugged in appear to be connected and tight. Start again and warning still there. Is there anything else I can check before taking to dealer to see what the problem is . Anyone have this problem with there’s  ? If so what caused the problem ? Thanks for replies.

Oops, I guess I didn't read thoroughly and see you tried cleaning them already...

Try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. Do you have the collision alert turned on? If so maybe try just turning it off.

what is the "state of charge" on your battery? Is it the original battery? Usually, small electrical issues pop up when the battery is getting old or there's bad grounds.

Thanks for the replies. I was thinking’s about the battery also. It is the original Battery . Battery was load tested came back good. But I have learned in the past that a battery showing good can still give out some electrical gremlins. The charging is within the normal  range.At this point I have a appointment with dealer in two days and truck has a extended warranty on it so I’m going to see what they find out. If sensors check out as good and If sensor warning still shows on I will see if they can clear warning or if they think a new stronger battery will help out situation I will replace the battery.  Hopefully they find out what’s wrong and get it corrected  so I can go forward with getting trade in value on a 2024 Sierra without warning showing on dash. Thanks again for your replies !

Ok I went to dealer today and they found no codes causing that warning to show on screen. I feel a little dumb saying this but no one else said anything about this including the original dealer who said there was a problem. So hopefully this will help others maybe . Servicing dealer today said that warning shows on screen is caused when you use the controls on steering wheel and you adjust settings sensitivity for your collision avoidance section. I’m thinking that maybe on of the employees checking out vehicle for trade value used the steering wheel controls to view oil life , engine hours / rev’s etc and unknowing click on collision avoidance section and changed setting. Thus making the warning show up on screen. That scenario would answer why I never saw warning on screen before checkout for trade value. Surprised that a employee involved in checking out vehicle for dealer wouldn’t know about this screen warning and wouldn’t tell me it needs to be serviced/ repaired. Glad no problem found and only wasted a 1/2 hour at dealer this morning . I learned something today hope this helps out other forum members.
Todays dealer adjusted / changed setting so that warning is now not showing up on screen when starting truck.

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
