Rocket Man's 2008 Bagged CC Silverado Build AKA "THE MACHINE"

[PG01]

Got it back today. Man it looks good. This is what it should have looked like after they painted it. The handles look so much better too, not all textured like the other ones. He said sometime this Winter I can bring him the mirrors and he'll repaint them for free; he has some of the paint left over and he's saving it. he just didn't have time right now.View attachment 205419 View attachment 205420 View attachment 205421 View attachment 205422

Jelly, luv it

Glad you decided against the black handles.

Thank you.

Glad you decided against the black handles.

Came to my senses. Turns out the glossy ones were the correct ones to ptm.

The Beast was down for a day (Efan wiring harness melted again) so I drove the CC to work and it’s throwing a code for an O2 sensor issue and the damn TPMS came back alive so now there’s a warning light. Dammit. And on the way home yesterday I found out to NOT let it go past 1/8 tank before looking for a gas station. Ran out 2 blocks away from the one I was headed to. I put 2 gallons in and no bueno. I thought I had burned the pump up. 2 more gallons and I was good to go.

Well good news part 2; besides the paint being rescued, when I brought it home yesterday the TPMS was disabled again so no warning light. Se weird. It must have something to do with the driver door switch being removed and reinstalled. They did that when installing new handles, maybe with the battery disconnected IDK. I heard that's where the TPMS resides, in fact with the Tech 2 that's the menu where I can access that function. so weird though. The P2270 (bank 1 sensor 2 stuck lean/ biased lean) came back again so it looks like I'll be installing that O2 sensor I bought after all and see if that fixes it. I checked for bad wiring/ corrosion or an exhaust leak last week and didn't find any so hopefully it's just a sensor. Happy about the TPMS though, glad I didn't order sensors and start building my PVC pressure tube like I almost did. Damn, hope I didn't just jinx myself. I did drive it out to dinner last night though so It's been on 2 short trips so far and no light.

This narrows it down a bit. You were playing with the fuses, they had the battery disconnected, the door switch was involved in both instances (right?)...

What's the details of the driver's door switch? You replaced it? And was it around the time you were pulling fuses? I'm trying to find a common point in all of this to see if we can find exactly what happened and if it can be replicated. You may have stumbled upon some sort of "loophole" way to disable the system.

Yes I replaced it. And it was around the same time I was pulling fuses, or I may have had the battery disconnected when I did it. The body shop also disconnected it when they did the cut and buff since they pulled the door handles, and I noticed my radio presets were gone so they must have disconnected the battery again, as I'm pretty sure they did the last time it was in although that time AFAIK they didn't disconnect the switches.

I wonder if the window switch and BCM modules involve some sort of data handshake when it's first powered up. I guess I could disconnect the window module, then the battery, reconnect the battery, then the module and see what happens. Now'd be the time for me to do it before I set up my HU.

I've never dug into the doors, where's the module located? Or it it under the switch panel?

I thought it IS the switch itself but I just went into the menu on the Tech 2 and it's under "remote control door receiver module" so now I'm not sure. I heard somewhere, I swear, that it has to do with the driver door switch module or it's part of that module.

I've been Googling around and I think it may be built into that switch. The window switch panel just pops out so I'm gonna play with it and report back. I may open it up and look for an antenna circuit. I just hope I don't wipe out my RKE functions.

The TPMS receiver and Remote door lock/remote start receiver are one in the same and it is located in the drivers rear quarter panel by the power lift gate motor on the SUVs... not sure about the pickups... Just FYI.
