Hello all,

I have a 2018 Yukon Denali with right at 68,000 miles. It has ran like a dream up until today.
When I got in to start it this evening every service light came on, all the way from the trailer brake to the Stabilitrak and ABS light. The fuel gage is also staying on E at startup and it doesn't show any range. (I filled up yesterday so i know it's full)

Has anyone encountered this before? Or are there any simple things I can try before having it hauled into the dealer.

Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!

Have you tried to start the vehicle since this happened? Because of the electronics in these vehicles, maybe your LanBus got crossed up. I have lost my dash a couple of times in the last 4 years and each time i just restarted the vehicle and all is good. For you it may be that simple. The other thing is check your battery, the batteries do not last a long time in these vehicles and a weak battery wreaks havoc on electronic systems even if the start is good.

Thanks for the advice, i have tried to start it a few times since the incident with the same result. I'll take your advice and try replacing the battery to see if that takes care of it, it's about due for a new one anyways.

Take a good look at the condition of the main cables, too, while you're at the battery terminals. Also main grounds between body/chassis/engine.

disconnect the battery, clean the grounds and clean the grounds under the body on both sides near the firewall there is one on each side that get all gunked up with road grime, there kind of hard to get clean I would use a spackling tool and sandpaper so you get it down to bare metal.

I was told by a tech that when the Trailer Brake Service memo comes up in the DIC that the battery is low and needs replaced.

ALL GOOD steps to inspect for electrical "gremlins" start with a thorough inspection of the battery and it's connections.
