Was up in the mountains fishing, towing the boat. Got ready to head home, started my truck and the DIC says stability control off, traction control off. Check engine light is on. I'm over a hundred miles from home, hills, winding, twisty roads, mountain passes to travel.

It runs fine, stop at the auto store by the house and they pull code U0100 and P0700. After reading the codes start the truck to go home and the check engine light is gone as well as the icons on the display for traction control and stability control.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Will update post when I start the truck again, later today to run some errands probably.

I was throwing that code in my 2008 and it ended up being one of the speed sensor cables worn through. Every time it hit the wheel on the bare spot it lit up my dash with warnings and that code was one of the ones that went off.

OP, did you ever figure out what was causing your issue? 

 

I had a similar experience this weekend: I was in CT, 2 states away from home, in the middle of the woods, and the truck threw the U0100 and P0700 codes and went into limp mode for a bit.  I cleared them with a Scangauge and it's been fine since, aside from the POS clunky shifting that I normally experience.  The dealership this morning told me there is nothing they can do because I cleared the codes.

What year is your vehicle?

2017.  I realize this is not the K2XX subforum, but I am trying to gather any and all semi-related info that I can.

The P0700 code is really a generic code saying the Transmission is requesting the light. P0700 - Transmission Control Module Requested MIL Illumination

 

The U0100 is a Communication code with the Engine Control Module. 

U0100 - Lost Communication With Engine Control Module

 

On a 2017 the way you would want to test this is to go between terminal 6 and terminal 14 of the DLC. You should have 60ohms of resistance because you have a 120 ohm resistor in the ECM and a 120ohm resistor in the High speed bus at the other end of the circuit. If you Don't have 60ohms this is where your problem lies. Either in a module or the wiring. 

 

If this happens and you check the resistance and it isn't 60ohms (and you need to check that with the ignition off when the car hasn't been run for a while or even better if you disconnect the negative cable to the battery) Come back on here and quote this and I will walk you through the steps to find out exactly where your problem is. Hope this helps. I am going to leave a Schematic below.

Thanks for the info and wiring diagram.  I'll do some testing this weekend and report back.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      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.
