17 Silverado U1510 fault code

Got a baffling issue going on.   Couple of days ago the check engine light came on with a 2017 1/2 ton Gas Silverado.    Had a dealer trouble shoot it to run the codes.   It is a communications fault and comes up U1510.    They want the truck for a couple of weeks so they can trial and error a connection or wire issue.   I am reading on-line a LIN communications break down is somewhat common,  maybe with the ECM,  the BCM or other module such as the HVAC.   Anyone seen a common issue with these newer 1/2 tons that can prevent a trial and error approach by the dealership.   I don't really want the truck dismantled while they trial and error the connections.

 

Thanks!

My truck set a code twice that was a lost communication with the transmission. Don't remember the number.

The first time it went away the next day.

The second time, about a year later I cleared the code with a cheap program I run on a lap top.

Then I disconnected wiring harness connectors and reconnected them for the transmission. The truck was not running and the key was off.

It hasn't returned in 2 years.

 

I wouldn't panic unless it's having problems.

Easy to re-connect the harness connectors like I did to help with a quirky connection.

IMO with the computers today a slight voltage drop can cause a code.

One or more of these systems or any wire/terminal

Thanks.   Yes I did the battery disconnect and after a couple of restarts it comes back.   Same thing with disconnecting the Engine Control unit,  the dealer suggested that was where they thought the issue may be.   But it comes right back as well.   I was in the high water late last week and the transmission connection may be an opportunity the check out.   This truck is a 2017 MY.     Thanks for the response.

U1510 by it's self doesn't tell a tech much. Without additional codes and or symptoms it be almost impossible to diagnose.

Called the dealership back and they seem to recall it was a U1510 K20

 

Hi, Joel. I hope your Silverado is running smoothly. Otherwise, feel free to send me a private message, if you’re considering visiting your servicing GM dealership in the near future. Thanks!

All corrected now.   As tbarn mentioned it turned out to be this as the issue.   Not covered under drive train warranty, but after the replacement of the air shutter actuator and a re-flash (due to a steering disabling fault) all good now !  Thanks

Mine is a 2017 GMC Sierra and it is giving codes U1510 AND U1501 and when it first popped up the engine was limited to power and rpms, what could it be? Only options I've seen is to clean the throttle body.

I have the Exact same issue with mine. Some of the guys that posted previously seem to have a solution for a 2017 Gmc half ton that may work. He mentioned the K20. check it out above.

Hey there, I have a 2017 GMC sierra 1500 with the 5.3L. Im also getting the U1510 code and want to fix it myself but I dont know where to start. When I unplug the battery it goes away but after one start it comes back. The truck functions fine so its not an issue with anything vital to the trucks operation clearly but i want to get to the bottom of this.

I got the same U1510 code on my 2018 Silverado 1500 and dealership says it’s the same as stated above, the active grill air shutter actuator.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That's interesting, I assume that would add to the cost of the oil but also I was forgetting to bring up the issue of the low tension rings allowing more oil past which in turn forces the cats to have more oil additives pass through them that wouldn't otherwise so they are creating that problem and of course its all in the name of fuel economy. Mind you the other issue would be the lack of additives that fight the formation of carbon within the piston ring grooves which turn the engine into an oil burner and with in this GM forums case is your average off the shelf Dexos licensed oil, meanwhile the other off the shelf oil being Valvoline's R&P isn't licensed and the only one that is which is that certain Mobil oil that came out recently ( its not even being marketed in Canada ) and only a fraction of vehicle owners are going to be using it out of all the other oils on the shelf or the quickie lube bay that meet the Dexos spec by way of actual licensing.    Also I suspect that its an easy excuse to pool the non turbo DI engines in with the turbo DI engines and design the oil to not have LSPI issues in the most demanding engines and short change the naturally aspirated DI by not offering a higher concentration of additive package they could handle and still not be at risk of LSPI.    I wonder if Amsoil flipped the switch just lately and did whatever packaging designation at the same time as I wonder what oil formulation I would have bought in May, of course I don't know when it was packaged at the factory vs how long it was in storage at the Edmonton warehouse. I know its been said at least in the past that the big players switch over to a reformulated oil but the packaging has not changed until they make that move as well so there is that cross over time where its a new formulation in a predated formula marked package.

      Hmm. A real reason to not just use the odometer to determine OCI?

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.
