Opening door causing automatic shift to park!

[Shaun Swiers]

Was slowly backing up our 19 Expy and happened to open the door to look at something on the ground and the thing automatically shifts to park. WTF.

Granted I was going very slowly but it still ****** the truck. Not a fan.

Is there a way to disable this crap?

I'm not a fan either. Keeping your drivers seatbelt latched, from what I've read, will allow you to open the door and remain in reverse.

I wonder if this is something you can disable with ForScan.

Why would you want to disable a safety feature? Keep your seatbelt latched if you plan to open the door while moving.

Think of a child that could open a door and fall out, then be run over.

Why would you want to disable a safety feature? Keep your seatbelt latched if you plan to open the door while moving.

So you can see the front wheel position when driving the vehicle onto a service rack, or loading on a trailer for transport when you are the only one there. Granted you can fasten the seatbelt, but try that several times while trying to position the vehicle in a lift or on a rack. Then there is the farming, ranching, construction, and oilfield where you can be constantly in and out of the vehicle with only a few feet driving between stops, it becomes much more convenient to leave the door open.

Lots of safety features in place without the need to throw itself in park. Child locks, door ajar chime, door ajar warning message.

My rear doors won’t even open from the inside until child locks are dealt with.

I don't know of a way to disable it. However, once I found out about the "feature" I learned that I could put it back into reverse or drive with the door open and it does not go back to park again. Now when I need to move the vehicle with the door open, I am prepared for it and wait for the shift into park to occur, then immediately override it and go about my business.

correct. just open the door prior to reversing. I found out the hard way too!!
