2020 Sierra Denali 6.2

I have lost adaptive cruse control. Lane assist and rear view camera mirror.

Looking for help one last time before taking my truck to the dealer.

Tried pulling the battery cable off for 15 minutes and no change.

I pulled just the negative cable, should I pull the positive too?

Some say to leave off for 15 minutes, but I saw another that said 30 minutes -so should I go longer this time?

Does your truck still have the original OEM battery?  That would be my first place to look.  These trucks are very sensitive to voltage changes.  A battery that is starting to go bad, i.e. bad cell, will start causing all kinds of wonky issues.  If you are still under warranty, take it to a dealer.  If your warranty expired, try a new battery.

If you change the battery I believe you have to tell the computer it's a new battery. If not it will have more issues.

At this point I'd have it scanned for codes system wide.  A dealer can do it with the SAVI device they have and I'd imagine a dealer can at least read them for free.  The one by me does.

 

Question though.  Does your auto stop/start still function after replacing the battery?

How would the computer know that the battery is changed?  It's not like the battery has a chip or something that puts out an identification code.  Should not have any issues with replacing the battery.

My auto stop/start quit working on my truck when the battery first started going bad.  Was still under warranty so had the dealer deal with it.  They said that a cell was going bad.  I think one of the criteria for the auto stop/start to function correctly is the battery voltage has to be at or above some value.  Dealer replaced the battery and everything has been fine since.

Actually have a new ACdelco battery because of it going on 5 years old.

Every thing I read says that the camera is bad or possibly may be able the recalibrate/ restart the system -looks like a dealer only option to sort it out?

Yes stop start still working-also have the factory switch that allows it to be turned off in a2020 -only 39k miles, but out of warranty.

I'm betting at this point you've got a camera fault code, which is why I suggested having it scanned for codes.  If there is a fault code, the frontview camera will need to be replaced and then programmed and setup at the dealer.  

 

You won't have forward collision, lane departure or adaptive cruise (if you have that) without a functioning camera.

Thanks, that’s were I am at this point -going to have to get it into the dealer to verify. 
I wonder what it will cost if the camera is bad?

MSRP is $582.76.  85636221.  You can probably install it but its still going to need programming and learn mode done at the dealer.  Which the pricing on that will vary of course but figure 1 hour labor, some might charge more than that.

The battery is managed by the computer.

It's in the 20 year range since they used just a simple regulator.

 

There is a list of items that prevent Autostop/start activating.  Battery condition is on the list.

Picking up my truck from the today. They did a reflash because the were several sensor& module communication errors. I’ll post what the invoice lists.

Ok, there were several sensor/ module issues, so they did a software update and good as new. Cost was just over $200.00 with tax.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
