My 2016 Sierra with the 6.2 has been at the dealership for over a week now.  Had the check engine light come on and it read codes of something about transmission flow issue and they I guess determined it was the temp sensor.  Well apparently the temp sensor is on national backorder so they have no idea when it will be available.  Anyone have any experience with national backorder?

Haven't heard of this But it's funny I will call my GM rep tonight and get the low down. However sounds like more of the 6.2/8speed curse.

Nope it's not 6.2L curse...it's 8L90 M5U curse...if you want to remove all the unwanted crap related to the Transmission you will....make sure it has updated Torque Converter made after the initial Stalling failure to engage bulletin et.  Replace all coolant and keep filter in place....Drive for few weeks and Replace all fluid, Wire Harness, filter and pan gasket.  Your fine when all you get is the two bumps from line pressure in morning off cold soak.....Nothing can be done about it...It's programmed in!

Wow.  I wasn’t even having any issues besides that hard shift every once in awhile. So it sounds like I’m in for a fun time with the transmission then.  

 

They tell me me I can’t drive it so I just want it fixed at this point.

Thought I would update this just in case someone else has an issue.  The part finally came in and it was fixed.  Apparently there is a service bulletin out on this issue and it was fixed and I was not charged for the fix.

Bumping this up.  I got a check engine light due to a transmission code.  Does anyone have a part number for the sensor, in case powertrain warranty doesn't cover it.  Thanks. @newdude

Part of the interal wiring harness on the 8L90 8 speed.  24297369 is the most current #.  Retails for $95.06.  I show coverage ability for factory powertrain and factory emissions for that if its the cause of your issue.

So far my 6.2 8 speed has been flawless. I have 10000 miles on it and i have had AFM off since 40 miles. My range did come unplugged once and my tranny started acting a little funny. I think Afm is 90 % of the problems people have with the 8 speed. The corvette 8 speed has been a beast and can take a lot of power.

Could be, I've got 37k on mine now.  I did have it flushed due to the torque converter shudder I was having, and now the temp gauge is bouncing around.  Hopefully this is the last of my issues,  normally I wouldn't care about a gauge that much, but when the temp is low the TCM won't let the TC go into lockup.

At what temp does it let the TC go into lockup?

I'm not sure what temp it is command for in the TCM, I just know that my truck wouldn't go into lockup on the highway sometimes.  Just got my truck back yesterday, wiring harness was replaced under warranty.

Dropped our 2015 Yukon denali off on July 25 for an oil change and to check an error code.  They say it was the temperature sensor - they ordered the wrong part and have now been waiting 3+ weeks for the correct part and harness to come in. Still no ETA on when parts will be in.

 

Did some more digging and found this - TSB from last week- 18-NA-355 recommending fluid flush to resolve shuddering.

I've been told it isnt related.

 

So far all covered under warranty and loaner car provided but it sure isn't a Denali and its driving my wife nuts.

      auto mechanical driver's door unlock without pressing button? [2026 Silv. 1500 WT 4WD RC SB 2.7L]

      No.   That would be an LT and higher trim.  Passive entry.   WT and Custom do not get this feature.

      Mediocre, how much did they lose on the poorly conceived EV strategy?   I wonder how much the stock price is being 'inflated' by all the buy-backs?   Cadillac literally looks like a brand without a rudder, no clear goals or product direction - performance or luxury? I guess performance because we can throw a small block in whatever we can and call it a day. Certainly not luxury when a Denali or High Country is reasonably cross shoppable. The Celestiq - no way - no vehicle can command quarter million prices when something wearing the same badge is on the buy here pay here lot across town.   Notice the 'base' Escalade doesn't even come with the 'leather-appointed' seating surfaces.   Hummer EV - fail Silverado EV - fail Sierra EV - fail Bolt/Volt EV (The most successful EV cancelled, restarted, cancelled, whatever its current status it)   Hybrids - none Sedans - none Medium duty - not anymore Minivan - none Coupe - none Convertible - none CUVs - 20+/-   6.2 Recall that landed squarely on the GMs highest seller - and specifically the fattest margin higher trims of the Yukon, Escalade, et. al. The most critical product line they fumbled big time. In the Escalade segment, are those buyers forgiving GM for a bad engine and patiently waiting for the fixes and dealing with the headaches? Nope, they dump them and go straight to the other premium brands.   In the ENTIRE GM portfolio how many aspirational vehicles are there? Corvette, Escalade (quickly being superseded by the obvious better value Denali)...   I posted somewhere else... what if Cadillac left the luxury game and became a performance brand similar to AMG or (gasp) Ferrari? Cut all the entry-level and base models from their line up and focus on the V-series or Blackwing or whatever they call it now. Of course, those would have the pre-requisite luxury and technology as standard equipment. This opens the floor for Buick to step in/up as the luxury brand (like they are in China), no 'performance pretenses' get rid of the 'entry-level' models with equally 'entry-level' power trains and become the Maybach to Cadillacs AMG. With those two brands effectively out of the way Chevrolet, the 'entry-level' brand has the floor to itself and GMC can take over as 'professional grade'.    Now each brand has a focus, no in-fighting, clear direction, and customer targets.   Just need to sneakily slide Corvette into the Cadillac brand and dump the vestigial script writing.

      I can't get enthusiastic about the 1.5T (or the 1.3 or the 1.2), I won't drive a CVT. But the stupid things sell in volume.

      There is a big difference in motorcycles and vehicles - nobody needs a motorcycle, they WANT one. That WANT is the most powerful force to drive price upwards.   I've hated every iteration of the Equinox, a prime example of GM laziness. It excelled at absolutely nothing, barely competitive by every metric. At least the latest generation looks decent.    I want to like the Buick Envista, but that pitiful engine plus FWD only is a BIG NO for me, I don't care how good it looks.

      For as much hate as Ms. Barra receives on here, she sure is a shrewd businesswoman....
