Hi, I have a 2007 Silverado Classic showing code P0449. It's described as a "solenoid circuit condition". As this is emissions related, would this be covered under my bumper-to-bumper warranty?

Should be powertrain warranty. Could call the dealer and ask for sure.

 

Thanks for the reply. I did call the dealer and got the standard "Well, it COULD be under warranty, but we won't know until we do a $112 diagnostic. Then, when we find out what's wrong, we call GM to determine if it's covered or not".

 

:sigh:

They can look on GM's website to see if its under warranty. All they need to know is time and milage. Evap should be powertrain warranty. I can understand the diagnosis. Thats always how it works. If its a parts failure they will take care of you.

If they fix it and it is indeed under powertrain warranty, am I still on the hook for the diagnostic charge?

Another poster on here went through the same thing. It might be covered, of course it wasn't and he had to pay. So be prepared.

IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER POWERTRAIN, it is considered emissions. I believe that warranty ends at 36K miles or 3 years. If so, do yourself a favor and go to NAPA, have them pull the part for a 2006 Chevy Suburban. This will be the exact replacement to your Fuel vent evap soleonoid. Cost is 25 to 30 dollars, and if your read through the posts on this topic, you will find instructions on how to replace. Takes 15- 30 minutes, and you will need to read the instructions on the additional piece of hose and hose clamps, as you WILL need those also, due to the fact that you will trash the old heated plastic hose when disassembling the part. I think the NAPA part number is listed here in the posts too, can't remember. Or you can actually go directly to a chevy dealer, and ask them for the suburban part. Same price around 25 bucks. Search P0449 to get to the post on this issue. There is a wealth of info on this .....

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
