Some GMC Yukon owners report experiencing erratic behavior with sensors after opening the hatch, which may be attributed to several underlying issues. One common problem is a malfunctioning rear hatch switch, leading to sensor errors and unexpected activation of interior lights; inspecting and replacing the switch may resolve this. Additionally, some owners encounter issues with a faulty passenger seat sensor, resulting in beeping sounds even when the seat is unoccupied; temporarily fastening the seatbelt can help, but replacing the sensor is the recommended permanent fix. Furthermore, erratic sensor behavior may also stem from a hood latch sensor issue; applying WD40 and dielectric grease has been reported to alleviate the problem. If these solutions do not rectify the situation, consulting a professional mechanic or dealership for further diagnosis and repair is advisable.
