I've had this problem from new. I did a search in this forum, but can't find anything exactly the same. I did find a number of complaints regarding the poor quality of the GM battery, so I had it checked out and it seemed fine.
I have a 2014 Yukon, very basic truck, basic power options.
After driving (so the battery is fully charged), I turn it off, but keep the key in accessory to listen to the radio. After a short time (anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes) there are 3 bell tones and “LOW BATTERY, START ENGINE” is displayed. The engine starts without any hesitation or effort (appears NOT a low battery) and the message and tones stop.
If I ignore the message, the tones sound a few more times, and after 30 to 40 minutes the radio turns off, tones stop, but the message remains on the dash display. Again, the engine starts without a problem.
In both scenarios, the battery measures 12.2 volts.
While on vacation, the truck sat for 6 weeks without being run and it started right away, so it doesn't appear to be a slow drain.
We like to go to the local drive-in and need the radio to tune in to the movie sound track. So I was hoping there was some way to de-activate the sensor that measures the voltage/amperage drop or increase the time delay before it displays the message. Anybody know???
