Our remote start seems to work less frequently as time goes by. It works approx 65% of the time now and the condition is worse in cooler weather and/or sitting for a while (e.g. over night). Anyone else experiencing this?

I have a 2022 1500 refresh so same fob and platform as your 2024 HD.  I've chalked it up to either interference with some other device somehow, or, the vehicle just decides to have a mini stroke and something just doesn't let it do it.  I've noticed if I lock, unlock and then re-lock the truck that the remote start will decide to work. 

 

However, it happened to my 2019 old body and my 2016 Colorado so I guess I'm just used to it.  At work its the worst.  If I'm inside the building it won't work unless I go near a garage door or man door and then it will send the signal for any of the functions.

The lights will flash showing that it receive some command but not start. I'll try the lock, unlock, and re-lock but I've done similar with no luck (not sure in that order or not lol).

Sounds like it’s receiving the signal but is not starting because some control logic is preventing it. You may have already reviewed your manual, but the 2021 manual says:

 

The vehicle cannot be remote started if:
. The RKE transmitter is inside the vehicle or if the key is in the ignition.
. The hood is not closed.
. There is an emission control system
malfunction and the lamp is on.
. The ignition is in any mode other than off.

. The hazard warning flashers are on.
. Two remote starts or a remote start with
an extension have been used.
. The vehicle is not in P (Park).

 

Maybe the system sets codes your or the dealer can read?

Wouldn't start a couple days ago so I tried the lock, unlock, yada yada a few times and it did eventually start. In my case, trying to start with the doors unlocked (failed) and then locking and trying to start again worked.

What button sequence are you using for this?  I've never had a remote start fail on my 2016 or my 2024 using the keyfob if I press Lock, Start, Start in about 2 seconds total.

From a locked position, 2 clicks on FOB works sometimes. The times it fails, the lights flash signaling it received a command but does nothing else. I've never not had it work on any other vehicle we've owned lol.

      Needing this part.

      Still looks like a rivet to me in the pics, I don't see a nut and none of the pics show the head of the screw. But if you says so.....

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.
