GMC Acadia - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues
How do you get the interior lights to come on when
Hi, viewer. The interior light is powered and controlled by the body control module or BCM. However, there is an on/off button beside the main headlight switch that overrides the interior lighting function. If this button is off, interior lights will not come on regardless of any door being closed or opened.
If this button is on, interior lights will come on whenever a door is opened. If you close all doors, and if the driver door is the last to be closed, the interior lights will stay on for about 30 sec and then the lights goes off automatically. In case you left any door opened too long, the BCM has an internal timer that will shut off the interior lights automatically when it detects that a door is still opened and the allowable time has elapsed. The BCM is programmed this way to protect the battery circuit and functions. : )

2011 GMC Acadia. Torque specs on catalytic converter for Acadia please?
The torque specifications for the catalytic converter on a 2011 GMC Acadia can vary depending on the specific model and engine type. However, the general torque specifications for the catalytic converter flange bolts on this vehicle are typically around 37-45 lb-ft.
It's important to note that these torque specifications are for general guidance only, and you should always consult the manufacturer's service manual or a qualified mechanic to ensure that you are using the correct torque values for your specific vehicle and application.
Additionally, it's important to use a torque wrench when installing or tightening the bolts on the catalytic converter to ensure that the correct torque is applied and to avoid over-tightening or under-tightening, which can lead to issues such as exhaust leaks or damage to the exhaust system.

2018 GMC Acadia rough idle, engine misfire, PCM & BCM codes
For issues like this you need an auto electrician with a pro grade bi-directional scan tool computer to diagnose. The misfire may just be spark plug condition, but it could be a sensor issue. It is better to pay a pro and only change the parts that need it rather than 'let's try replacing this' method of repair.
My 2010 gas Acadia randomly will not crank over and displays service security deturant systems
A 2010 Acadia has GM PasskeyIII security. It requires a transponder key programmed to operate with the vehicle. Your "plain key" must have a transponder encased in the plastic head of the key and was programmed to work with your vehicle.
The random no crank is likely because the immobilizer is sometimes unable to validate your key. Could be the key or a problem with transceiver in the ignition lock assembly.
If you have a second key and it has the same issue then the problem is not likely the keys but with the transceiver.
Why does it make noise when turning corners?
No it is not your transmission...it is your strutes and CV boot. This car has a lot of problems that need addressed...but your knocking noise one or the two... it'll be better to replace them booth at the same time.or both driver and passinger side will insure it..your machanic trying to burn you....hope this helps this was my problem with the knocking....
