Looking at Google maps and it now shows that branch as "Duramax service center". So possibly rebrand or sold it
Bought, wrecked, rebuilding a 2009 LMM
- Thread starter malibu795
- Start date
It looks to be a separate business now. Duramax Service Center.
Yup wasn't really brought up but CARB fined them so they moved. I was trying to figure it out myself and that's when I found the settlement
Sent this to autel..
I have what appears to BCM issues on a 2009 GM vehicle. What platform (s) allows my to read/clear/function test BCM codes?
Ideally I'd like one that does not need a subscription but not agay subscription versions..

Sorry I thought I was pretty clear. I am asking what diagnostic platforms can read clear and function test a GM Body control module on a 2009 GM vehicle?
If it can do U and C codes that would be helpful
Maybe I'm corporate stupid

Unfortunately It's a Chinese based Scan tool so it probably a translation issue for whomever is reading and responding to the emails.... There is a US based office you can try. Even have a US number you can try and callSent this to autel..

I used said email link 
It's going to turn into the front office has no idea what the shop does quicky problem

Drove it to work today, get ready to go home.. truck is dead. Jump it with the semi. Starts up, smell burning plastic shortly after.. find protective shields on BAT cable post on the on the alternator smoking. Nothing is loose or obviously rubbing. Pull the 2 wire quick connect to de activate the Alt.
Which probably what caused electrical issues going home or dead battery (s). Which was random TCC lock/UNLOCK, AND "MX" in the PRDML area randomly flashing along with a clicking noise under the dash.
Pulled a U0100 code when I got home before I disconnected the batteries. The autel wouldn't connect but the innova did..
Ran in 5th due to the 5-600rpm drop/raise id see in 6th with TCC lock/unlock.. at same speed. Getting a better TC can't get here soon enough
Short clip.

Glad I own more than 1 running.. vehicle take my suburban in tomorrow

Don't see how pulling the alternator control connector would stop that. The diodes should prevent the current from flowing from the batteries to the alternator. And if the diodes are shorted put then pulling the connector wouldn't do anything. Are you thinking the alternator was outputting too high voltage and thus current into the batteries? Or one or more cells in the batteries are shorted and thus drawing excessive current, so shutting off the alternator will protect it?
I'd let the batteries sit overnight disconnected and check the voltage in the morning. Of course you need to have them fully charged first before doing the resting voltage check. So it you had to drive home with no alternator then put the batteries on a charger first

I killed the Alt to reduce the possibility burning the truck down due to the battery wire smoking on the alternator bat post.. it stopped smoking when I killed the alternator.. figured 2 batteries are cheaper than a burned out truck, and substantially less eventful.
Alt is a 160A that I've had for a while.. post connection was not loose Alt or the junction block on the PS firewall why it looks over heated IDK.
Lack of proper voltage could have caused the other electrical issues with the TCC/clicking and gear indicator.
Maybe there's some ground(s) I'm missing.

Will when I get home from work.. they'll have plenty of time to rest
Is that the Fusible link? I believe It goes from back of alternator post to Fuse holder. Mega 175 Amp
I know a friend of mine had an issue on a GMT400 with his. It turned out to be a connection/ corrosion issue. Of course he also had to replace the alternator because it partially melted it. But luckily it was under warranty at his local parts store.

There is a 175a maxi fuse for the Alt charge wire. And it's located on the PS firewall..
AFAIK there's no fusible link in the cable.. that would be news to me on either of those locations

You are probably right since it goes to a maxi fuse.
The GMT 400 and GMT 800 Gas versions are different.
PS battery is D-E-A-D after charging for 12+ hrs it dropped from 13V to 12V in under 1HR and it's all wet as well looks like it boiled
I was guessing so. Had to be somewhere that current was going. Check it again after sitting overnight. If it's somewhere around 10.5 to 11 volts then you lost one of the cells
