I got a "service park assist" notification, checked sensors and they appear clean, anything else I should check before heading to the dealer??

Its been coming on every time I start my truck, occasionally It won't come on and the park assist works, then I turn around and park assist is off and dash says "service park assist" weather here has been nasty so havn't climbed under it to check out connections yet but the sensors have been whiped off...

I had the same problem with my 12. I did all the recommendations above without any help. I read on another forum for Chevy that I should put my ear to each sensor. With the truck ignition on but not running I listen to each sensor. There was a steady clicking from all but one sensor. I got a new sensor and replaced the one not ticking. It worked. After a couple start ups, the system cleared itself and all works fine. Just listen to each sensor. If it is working you will hear a steady clicking. Replace the one that is silent.

I tried the test last night, but I didn't hear anything on any of the sensors, including the reverse sensors, which I know are are working. I tried with the ignition "on" and accessory. Does it matter that I have the push button start?

Also, I would assume I'd need to shift into reverse to enable the park assist sensors, but I don't think it's possible for the 8 speeds to be in reverse with the engine off.

I seem to recall something in the Owners Manual about some things we do to set off warnings & how to try to correct it

I was doing a quick read while looking at the 2014 manual to try to find an answer about something else
