Not sure if this is the appropriate subforum, so feel free to move or let me know if I need to.  I have a brand new 2024 Sierra 1500 3.0 Duramax SLT. The remote start worked just fine the first few days. Now it just flashes the lights and I hear it do a half/single crank and it gives up. Thinking it might be a keyfob issue, I tried the mygmc app, which had the same result. There are no check engine lights or service warnings. 

 

Obviously I'm under warranty, but if I could figure this out and fix it myself, it might save me a trip and future headaches.

Not long after I bought my 2023 LTZ I started having slow or failed starts. I took it back to the dealer and they replaced the battery. I didn't have any check engine lights but did get warning messages on the DIC after start up. I don't know how long my truck sat before I bought it but the start issues started less than a month of purchase. 

It might just be a weak battery but I'm just speculating.

All doors must be closed and locked, all windows must be fully up (closed), even the rear back window must be closed, fuel  rail pressure must be correct, oil level must be correct,  the fuel pedal must not be depressed, hood must be fully closed and latched… these are just a few of the conditions which be satisfied before a remote start is permitted… 

 

if it was me, take it to the dealer..it is what the warranty is for…

 

open your hood and see if you get a hood open indicator.   If no indicator with hood open, the hood latch could be defective.

The first part is not entirely accurate.  I've never had a problem remote starting my truck with the door windows down, rear window open, or even a door open.  I've never tried with the hood open though, so I'm not going to debate that.

No debate, you ask for help, I provided what I know about all the checks which take place as part as the anti theft system in the vehicle.   If these checks are not being done in the newer vehicles, I believe I will stay with my 2019 as the quality appears to have taken a nose dive be it due to the chip shortage or whatever.

Turns out I did have a Check Engine light that I just didn't notice because it was bright out. Took it to the dealer with 181 miles on it and it has a failed NOX sensor, which is now on backorder. Not a great way to jump into ownership of a modern diesel..

I challenge you to go out to your truck, go roll down 1 or all of the windows (I usually do all 4 with the remote by pressing unlock twice and holding the unlock button down on the 2nd press for a few seconds until the windows roll down.  Must be setup to roll down windows in the computer first.), leave a door open, then try starting it with your remote.

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By glenn27 · Posted

      // Thank you, also for your  response. More information is always good. This 2013 GMC is most likely my 'forever truck"-I'm 77 and retired...and truck only has 42K on it-very clean-so I try to keep it that way.  Tks again for your  response- glenn

      Alternate wiring for Kicker sub with Bose system. (DO THIS)

      By smooth68 · Posted

      I started my install this weekend. Everything was pretty straight forward but I ran into one issue with running power through the firewall. The nipple grommet on my High Country already has a small harness running through it - has anyone else ran into this issue? And on the engine bay side, does the wire basically just penetrate the factory wiring boot? I did this on my '22 Trail Boss and it seems much easier but thats been a few years. My other thought would be possibly drilling a new hole adding a rubber grommet just to the lower left of the factory hole. Thoughts?   Has anyone used a T-harness off the Bose amp and obtained power from there? It seems a little odd that such a small amp needs 3 power leads

      By glenn27 · Posted

      ///// Ok--Thanks for that info--I could not find yesterday when I looked for the specs on that NAPA filter what I wanted. Their website is not very user friendly. I buy all teh filters for  our three vehicles once or twice a year. Have always run NAPA Gold on everything I own....I buy it thru my Son's account for his business-which he has a Heavy Equipment repair shop-one reason he uses NAPA so much-they have such a full line of coverage for just about anything/anywhere- He gets s  good discount because of volume bought. Anyway-Thank you -Sir for your response.   glenn
