Sleeping FOB??????
I had the reflash done on my 05 Z51 6 speed to correct the DBS and now I am encountering a "sleeping fob". Four times when I have gone to unlock the hatch with the fob nothing happens. I then open the hatch with the key and the alarm sounds, I then hit the unlock function on the fob and the alarm shuts off and all is well.
I took the car to the dealer and they can't find anything wrong (so what is new?), their GM tech specialist said it may happen due to being parked among other cars and frequencies from other remotes. This seems strange because the first 25,000 miles this problem didn't occur, just since the reflash.
Anyone else have this happen since their reflash?

6Spd,
Does your steering column lock still engage?
Mine is unlocking the doors correctly now, but still no column lock engagement and still flashes accessory mode for a moment when shutting down. Frankly, if it stops the DBS, I will live with it! It is far too time consuming to go back to the dealer and I would have to spend an hour trying to explain what is wrong!

Force of habit I always make sure the steering lock is in place before I get out of car.(That was a possible DBS check, & part of my shutdown ritual.)
To be honest I have noticed NO difference in anything. OF couse I hope this does not apply to the actual DBS issue, as I have not gone over 2 days yet with the car undriven
