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.

Hope this helps someone in the future figure out there issue.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
