Canyon 'Content Theft Deterrent' Problems Starting
I have a 2004 GMC Canyon Pickup with the 5 spd and 4cyl engine. It has 53xxx miles on it. Recently, when I push-in on the clutch and turn the ignition to start, NOTHING happens until I release the key from the start position. The truck then immediately begins to and does start. This does not happen every time I start it. But when it does do this, a warning light comes on and stays on that (according to the Owner's Manual), is for the 'Content Theft Deterrent System' which this truck does NOT have. I have NO Remote Keyless Entry System.
The truck runs fine after starting it at the times this light stays on. When I turn the truck off and restart it, this may or may not occur again. Shortly before this problem began, I began getting the message ... Change Oil...across the dash display. That display will continue until I briefly push the Odometer/Trip button and then it will not come on again until I stop and restart the truck. I had the oil changed less than 600 miles ago. Are these related? Please Help If Y'All Can. Thanks, Bigindin. |

The change oil message just may need the reset procedure.. look in owners manual. The starting may be a ign switch problem. You can get a All Data DIY sub and look at the wiring digram and see if the ign switch is switching the proper signal to starter/relay or starter in the start position. http://www.alldata.com/products/diy/index.html If it kicks in when you back off of switch it may be a bad switch or need adjustment. If you can not find the problem run it by the dealer and get them to have a look at it. It may have a recall or tsb's { a known problem on it} Good luck and let us know how it goes. MT
