New Fog Light Observation!

[texasdriver]

You can turn off all cabin lights by reaching up and holding (any) of the front overhead console overhead lamps for about 3 seconds....

Is there a way to turn them all on? I used to love that dome lamp on switch, but I can't find it anymore on this new one.

Same. Hold one down for 3 sec, they all turn on. Hold it again, they all turn off

Lol. I’m telling you…download it…save the PDF on your computer. Being able to search it is super convenient!

I actually recommend a cover to cover read…but…some people are not that focused.

I agree that downloading the owners manual and reading it. I had actually read the owners manual cover to cover twice before my tahoe was even built. i am sure if i read through it again, i would still find out new things about my ride.

Just noticed today that when I turned on the fog lights the DRL's dimmed. I'm thinking this is not something that is going to be fixed and was designed that way. The only thing I can think of is that if you really need the fog lights on then having bright DRL's on would inhibit vision inn a fog condition. This didn't behave like this on my 2015 Yukon or the 2016 Tahoe, as I always turned on the fog lights. But then again the DRL's were a different design

^ this. People keep saying they want the get that "fixed" but pretty sure there's nothing to fix and they are designed to dim when the fogs or headlights come on

Exactly correct. Except that the DRL’s will go off w/ the headlights once the Recall BCM software gets applied; as that is what the recall is for: Noncompliance w/ Federal Motor Vehicle safety standard requiring DRL to extinguish when headlights are on.

Would that include the glowtie/gmc embelems as well? Not that i have the glowtie, but they add illumination to the front of vehicle and make it a bit easier to see. In all honesty, dimmed drls is good enough as headlights over the last 10 years have all gotten insanely bright to oncoming traffic that most of the time i cant tell if its jusy the low beams or im being brighted by traffic until they are basically right beside me, so drls being on bright or dimmed or off wouldnt matter as they dont project that much light downroad anyway to tell a difference.

Not sure. I don’t have the update yet. But, I think the illuminated emblem is tied into the Parking Light Circuit

I think when they say the drl will not turn OFF they really mean they will not DIM. I cannot think of one modern vehicle I've seen in real life that doesn't have an outer ring or a halo or a C or a whatever shape the drl shape may be that is not illuminated when the headlights are on. Certainly not any newer body style GM suv, I see them all over the place with headlights on and the C illuminated. I think the recall is for people like the OP who stated his drl now stays bright when the headlights are on and do not dim like they are supposed to. There is no way GM is going to make the C lights on the gm or chevy or the strips on the escalade go completely dark when the headlights are on, I just don't believe that to be true.

As for the illuminated front emblem they are dim already, at least ours is. It is tied to the parking lights so it only comes on when they come on (headlights or fog lights on or switch put in parking light position) and then the drls dim to the same brightness level of the emblem.

I hope you are correct. Will see when I get the update…

I just received the notice for the recall on my Denali about the DRL's, when reading the recall it does mention that the DRL's are suppose to dim when the headlights are on and in some vehicles they stay bright as if the headlights are off. The update to the BCM is suppose to correct this so they dim when the headlights are on.

Funny thing though, I just checked mine tonight and the DRL's do dim when the headlights are on, wondering if I can avoid the update/recall and get it cleared as I do not have the issue. I just don't like software updates unless they are really needed.

EDIT:
Just read the actual recall from GM and they say the DRL's are suppose to "Deactivate" and not "Dim" so you are correct and will have to find out when it is updated. Not sure of the Federal Standard but some vehicles do just Dim the DRL

I checked my 2022 Denali yesterday. I was facing a big window and could see my DRLs go off when I turned on the fog lights. I will be checking for updates or maybe just wait for my next visit to the Dealer.

Here is one that drives my Wife crazy, no light in the glovebox. I looked to see if I was missing it or if it was just out, but there does not seem to be a light in there. Wife thinks it is a serious omission on a vehicle like this.

Just had this same conversation with the wife this week

 

[StephenPT]

Had the BCM flash done yesterday at the dealer. DRLs are still on with the headlights, but not as bright. I can also confirm when turning on the fog lights during the day, the DRLs stay bright and it looks awesome!

 

[WalleyeMikeIII]

Anybody have the OTA update pushed yet...no evidence of it on my ride...have "Checked for Updates" several times...

 

[R32driver]

I will be ignoring any and all updates that come out in the future. As of now everything on our yukon works as it should so I don't feel the need to change anything. If it ain't broke don't fix it. These vehicle updates will probably become just like the smartphone updates that magically make your older generation phone not work as well after an update so you have to come in and pay for the latest and greatest phone. Great way to drum up business for the phone giants but I'm not interested in risking this with the family truckster.

Gonna be difficult to “reject” a recall filed w/ the NHTSA, esp if you take your vehicle in for service at a GM dealer.

And later that day after posting what I said our Yukon went limp and died on the side of the road without warning…highly doubt it’s related to the update but pretty ironic

Clearly the AI is reading the forums and found you guilty so it decided to punish you
