My 2018 Gmc Sierra (55k miles) had the U1510 code this past week. I noticed the check engine light came on after heavy rain day down here in houston. Anyway...the code has to do with the Active Grille Shutter having an electrical short.

Dealer quote @ $750 to replace whole unit. (Parts and labor)..i was fortunate my ext warranty covered it.

I researched the part online..you can buy the part@ $220 and pay your local mechanic shop to replace unit and save $$.

Disconnecting the battery negative cable for 30 seconds would be my first step to see if it comes back.   My truck set a code twice that was a lost communication with the transmission. Don't

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!

 

Any chance your remote start also quit working? I’m having the same code right now with my 2017 Silverado and the only things I notice different is the remote start doesn’t work anymore and my oil pressure drops down to 20 after idling for more than 20 minutes when not driving.

Check engine light disables remote start.  Oil pressure sounds normal

I have a 2017 GMC Sierra and got a code of U1501 LIN Bus 1. Any ideas?? I've had no issues with performance and local parts store cleared the code saying they have never seen it before.  Will watch to see if it comes back but wanted to see if there were any thoughts on corrective action or maintenance to keep it from happening.

You all have a 95% chance of needing the active aero shutter that's behind the grille.  The shutter actuator fails internally due to moisture, corrosion, etc. and pulls the LIN BUS communications line which then sets the U1510.  U1510 and a malfunction of the shutter set the check engine light because the shutter is tied in with the ECM.

 

Replacement of the active aero shutter will resolve this issue.

Any of you guys ever get the U1510 code sorted out? I'm having this issue with mine now. I changed the grille shutter last weekend and the light is still on

Well the dealership figured it out, bad connection at the ECM. All the hours of research I did and never saw this fix.

      injector cleaner 2021 2.7 1500 silverado

      By TheGeek · Posted

      From what I gather, you have a 2.7 Diesel  You cannot use Chevron gas in it.  Howes has a diesel add-in and it states it cleans injectors.  Me personally, wouldn't bother with it.  If it's not broke, don't fix it.     Just my two cents worth.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Looking up on the web you can the information that would seem obvious. You asked engine components to do more. You get more wear. The answer is they can last just as long but required more maintenance. Apparently having to change lifters, cam and associated components are maintenance or repairs. In some research the normal life span of valve train components are 80-100 miles with 3-5K miles oil change. So the next logical conclusion would be cost per mile. I use that analogy with my wife all the time with vehicles. My Odyssey is approaching 170K. The cost per mile will go up at 200K with maintenance. Looking at a low cost car. A K-4 with a 10-10 warranty. Selling my Ridgeline that’s about to hit the same maintenance milestone. My argument becomes not only I get worry free driving. But at no cost increases. Because I take the money from my Ridgeline and maintenance savings and other potential savings. I’m driving for free. So tying it with a bow. It makes you wonder. Is this a grand conspiracy by the auto makers? Raise the potential maintenance high enough. Buyers by extended warranty to 100K miles. Do the minimum maintenance required. Trade in at the warranty end. How long should they last? That question is what keeps people up at night. The answer is much more complicated than it used to be.

      Could you cite your source on this?  I cannot find any reference to the US secretly taking the oil.  I find references that the US helped oil tankers move through the Strait of Hormuz, but nothing about what you're stating.

      Gas Prices

      Since the media YOU and your buddies are programmed to watch failed to mention this, I'll fill you in.   Trump admitted today that we've grabbed 150 MILLION barrels of oil from the Iranian tankers locked in the Strait by our Navy. We turned off their transponders, took them out to sea in the dark of night since they have zero radar capabilities anymore, offloaded every drop onto another vessel, and put them back by morning so no one was the wiser. That oil has been en-route THROUGHOUT the entire conflict.   Main reason he admitted this is to let even guys on our own side who joined leftists in complaining about the prices that he hears us all, and has taken steps to make sure this didn't spiral into a BAD situation ... just like the mainstream media has been PRAYING would happen, just so they could gloat. Amazes me how these people are rooting for the destruction of THEIR OWN HOME, just to make a President they don't agree with or like look bad! That's next level TDS!   I know your not capable of giving our President the benefit of the doubt, again due to your deep programming, but THIS is why oil never hit $150 a barrel as predicted by your programmers, AND the reason oil continues falling. Like I said before, Trump's got a plan, and this is proof of it. By the end of his term, we're going to be in GREAT shape for a change!   Since I just spent $3,000 this week on #2 heating oil and gasoline, the war most certainly is ending! 🤣   https://mxmnews.com/article/ba359ac9-2711-4851-92de-187f2400f2dd?breaking-trump-cancels-iran-strikes-deal-now-approved-by-all-parties
