so.... a potential home fix then should be to disconnect & reconnect the battery, that would essentially "clear" the computer for the most part.
maybe the next time this happens or pops up on the thread someone can give it a try.
keep that in your suggestion box for now until we discover otherwise.
That sounds like a good idea -- certainly beats having it dragged onto a flatbed tow! The dealer told me it took them over 30 minutes to clear the computer but not sure how they do it - I'm assuming they plug in and force a restart. Maybe this can get fixed OTA at some point.

Have a 2021 AT4 that must’ve been made at 4:59 on a Friday leading up to a 3 day weekend…all sorts of gremlin issues.

With that said, haven’t had this issue, but reading in between the lines a bit here, is the issue that it was remote started, ran for 15 mins, turned off and then you tried to dash start it and dead vehicle?

If so, I wonder if it had been remoted started again prior to you accessing the vehicle, and then while it was running you “dash started it”…. doubt you’d be willing to chance it again, but just a thought

This sounds really crappy. We remote start ours all the time and quite often it runs the 15 minutes or whatever it is and shuts off before we are ready to go. Add this to the list of worries in the back of your mind on a brand new $80k rig :banghead:

Remote started it with key fob (not app) -- it was running about 5 mins by the time I got in and hit the dash start button. Hitting dash button shut off the engine instead of activating everything as it normally does. From that point it wouldn't restart using anything - dash, key, app. Lights and acc. power all worked but nothing triggered ignition. Couldn't get it into service mode either so transmission was locked in park.

Funny you mentioned the remote start cycle --- dealer was wondering outloud if i had let the remote start cycle time out (not sure if its 15 or 20 mins) whether this would have happened. The problem is apparently some sort of conflict with remote and regular start.

This is probably pretty rare so don't want to sway anyone from using remote start or pile on as a complainer -- but there was a service bulletin about it and no current fix so take it for what its worth. This stuff happens. I would **think** a fix would be out fairly quickly on something like this but who knows.

This exact issue happened on our 2022 Chevy Tahoe Z71 a few weeks back. Remote started, got in and hit the button, no start. Got all dash lights and seemed to have full power. I decided to jump start as a last resort and all was fine, started right up. Had a check engine light for a few days that also reset itself and had the battery tested at an independent shop, as this happened the week of Christmas and the dealer couldn't get me in. They claimed the battery was "perfect". I actually haven't tried remote starting since then, should try it again soon to see what happens.

Tow driver did try to jump mine, but that didnt work. Glad it got yours going.

Definitely odd to say the least, it’s running, but won’t allow the next step of turning on the rest of the vehicle

It was the key fob. What do you need to have for the app to work? Onstar? I think mine came with 36 Months of connected services - app functionality is a charge after that?

Well, my wife fell victim to this issue this evening. 2022 Yukon XL SLT that is 2 months old with 2000 miles. She has remote started multiple times in the last 2 months. This time around, the car would not start back up. All electrical worked fine. Onstar diagnostics showed engine errors. It had to be dragged up a flat bed as there is no way to put the car in neutral. Tow guy said he dealt with 2 others in the past week with the exact same issue.

Will report back what the dealer says when they see it tomorrow.
