Hi, I've been having this strange problem for a couple of months: I turn the engine off and remove the key from the ignition, open the door and the chime starts sounding until I close the door! Also central locking, remote door opening with fob and tire pressure indicator u/s! The car sat with a dead battery for a month until I got it replaced. Any idea? Thanks

A couple of months or 3 years ?
You brought this same problem up 3 years ago in this thread: https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/prob...problem-59606/
No need to start another thread about the same issue.

You r profile says it is a 2009 you state here it is a 2008. 2008 models have a problem with persistent memory in the RCDLR; if the battery dies the RCDLR needs to get updated firmware. You will need someone with a computer and a CANbus adapter and access to tis2web to get the new firmware.

Either way , my question is we’re you able to get those recall repairs performed, especially the ignition switch?
Donbrew has a great point about the reflash.

May I explain that. Europe don't get it, in meaning of us pcm, bcm and other stuff that communicate car - eaven tech2. In europe tech2 is used for opel's till 2017 cause from '17 it has beed sold to half french psa. Also tech2 is used for saab's. However, trust me US based cars is black magic. For example was hopeing that will fob's can be done w/o tpms ... ka boom ... not ... black magic. Then quick reading forum knowlage that tpms is part of safety and it is unable to turn it off in US in some EU brands it is possible.

Tech 2 was retired world wide. Now you can get the software and adapters for reasonable cost and short term subscriptions to tis2web are not outrageous. The problem now, is finding somebody that knows HOW.
