Doors Started Not Unlocking When Walk Up and Pull Handle

[LarryJ]

Hey, just in the last couple of weeks, I noticed that when I touch the touch spot on my doors when locking truck they may not click, or only the drivers door may click. Also when I come up to the truck to unlock, it no longer unlocks as I approach that door, or by pulling on the handle? If I walk to the drivers door, all is good? Seems kind of strange. Something getting ready to go? In a related note, I just saw the new post on the "battery message" with the comment that the battery was about to go? Any possibility that these two things are related? Thanks in advance. I have an appointment in a week and wanting to add this to a simple oil change.

A weak battery is likely the cause.

Yup, put a trickle charger on your battery overnight and see if that doesn’t correct it. If not battery is on its way out. Not unheard of around here

That's exactly what happened to mine when the battery was dying. My intelligent access wouldn't work and it started with the drivers door then eventually all doors. Mine ended up being a dead cell and replaced under warranty and since have used a maintainer 2-3 days a week. Since doing this the new one's been fine.

Curious what the actual battery voltage is and see if it's below 11.5 volts to confirm what the voltage has to be to trigger that result.

I was having the same issue, started with a back door then after 2 weeks it was all 4. Also my built in garage door opener that used to work from the street had gotten to the point that I had to be a car length away from the door and hold the button in. I replaced all my fob batteries (2019 originals) and disconnected my negative terminal on my battery for a couple of minutes and after those 2 items completed both problems went away and have not returned. I am wondering if any of had to do with the recent sync update.
