WTF GMC, as I'm sitting here in a parking lot waiting for a tow truck I googled this problem. My GMC Sierra with 331 miles on it shows "service ESC" , and service power steering, drive with care. Meanwhile the steering wheel doesn't move at all. Again WTF?

My husband is the Service Manager at a Chevy Dealership and was unaware of this issue until it happened yesterday (Dec. 28th) twice while en route with travel trailer and children on our 2019 Chevy Si

This happened to me this weekend but also had a Brake System Failure message and the brakes barely worked. Thankfully I was sitting in a Starbuck's drive thru before heading on a 3 hour road trip so I

Do everyone a favor and go to NHTSA and report it as a safety issue. Once they get a bunch of complaints that is how recalls get started. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I have had the issue several times on my 2019 Siverado 1500. A took a photo, attached. Dealer says they can not duplicate. As you can see from pic, the truck is in reverse and the back up cam is not on. After several attempts to restart and clear, I pressed the the traction control switch with truck key in accessory position and it cleared. Dealer still can not duplicate.

I had very similiar problem happen on my 2019 GMC Sierra with 7000 miles. I had parked and when I returned  I found the messages where I had lost most all braking, power stearing and had a dash full of lights telling me all sorts of warnings. I drove it about a mile and parked it and turned it off and back on and the problem continued. I turned it back off the second time and waited about 30 seconds and then heard a "clunking" noise under the dash/hood like a realy etc. had dropped out and it has been fine ever since. That was about 3000 miles ago. When I took it to the dealer for the initial 7000 oil change they found four recalls one of which I think had to do with this problem. The recall was 14121 (# N192210460) eBoost Control Module Software False Detection with DTC Associated - Reprogrammed BSCM per Recall. The three other recalls had to do with the navigation map and trailering lighting. Now the transmission is jerking and slipping and I understand there is a class action lawsuit ongoing about people having similiar transmission problems unfortunately. I have less than 9000 miles on the new truck.

Just had my first issue with my 2019 Silverado at just under 5,000 miles. Same "Service Power Steering / Drive With Care" and "Service ESC" that many of you have reported, but luckily, I had no brake issues or alerts. After power cycling 4 times, I had to drive 10 miles home without power steering, which i hadn't done in years! Finally I got home, and let it sit for a few minutes. Out of curiosity, I started it up again, and found no alerts or issues. Seems to be fine now but I'll call the dealer in the morning so they can check for errors and computer updates.

Well it seems after contacting GM Corporate,  customer care. I now have an appointment to find the problem.  GM representative stated  multiple dealers  have reported this steering problem and the mechanic who witnessed the issue has been tasked with finding the problem. The issued happened to me 2 months in a row on the 4th of the month at almost the same time of day. As my appointment isn't until the 9th I will have video camera in hand on the 4th.

I had my 2019 Silverado parked for about 30 minutes after going into my house to do something before I left again. And when I got in my truck, I turned it on and as soon as I put the truck in drive. All the lights on the panel turned in and the screen where the gauges said “service esc” and also said “brake system failure too speed 62 mph” and as I got scared I pushed the brakes and they did not work. My truck only has 2207 miles on it.  I put all my weight down on the brake pedal and the vehicle continued to roll downhill. I had my 3 kids with me. I have a 3 year old with Down syndrome and I have a 19 year old with a disability. My truck had to roll into a stop because the brakes did not work. I had to get my truck towed to the nearest dealership. They said my truck “lost connection” with itself. Has anybody else have this happen to them?

I had all these problems 31 days in the shop and I am supposed to pick up tomorrow. Chaffed wire on the harness was the culprit hopefully it’s fixed had this happen one time before and they replaced tcm didn’t fix it

I'd be curious to know which wire if by chance they can point it out to you. Maybe it's in a bad location that allows it to rub against something? Be interested to know what all they say when you show up.

I would inspect the work if possible when you pick it up, i remember another forum member on here had work done to their harness and it was a complete hack job from the dealer with what i remember.

Mine just did this today after replacing the wheels. A bunch of lights came on. Had to put alot of pressure on the brakes like the booster was dead. Turned it off about half an hour then turned it back on and the only light on is the CEL and the fact it feels like it has power loss. I have an appointment this Thursday at the dealer but would be able to do standby if I drop it off which I'll do tomorrow cuz this is rediculous especially with a month old vehicle.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I think an OBD-first proof is probably the right next step. I agree that the value is not the hardware box by itself. The marketable part would be the software: always-on capture, baseline learning, event reduction, system-specific reports, and alerts. Also agreed that if an OBD device is always plugged in and has local storage, it should not miss the event in the same way that a scanner plugged in after the fact would. The only thing I would not want to assume yet is that an ELM327-class device gives all the late-GM data needed at the rate needed. Standard OBD live data, DTCs, freeze frame, Mode 6, VIN, and calibration information are definitely the right starting point. GDS2 also proves that a lot of useful ECM data can be viewed through the DLC without needing a DTC first. The question I need to test is whether the data needed for a useful GM V8 event report is actually available through the DLC, and at a useful sample rate: - misfire counts / roughness by cylinder - AFM/DFM state - oil pressure and oil temperature - fuel trims - voltage / reset context - U-codes and communication events - calibration / software information - whether these are standard PIDs, enhanced DIDs, Mode 6 data, GDS2-only data, or not available So I think the right benchmark is: 1. Build the OBD-only version first. 2. Keep it plugged in and logging locally. 3. Compare it against GDS2 / freeze frame / HP Tuners or another higher-end logger. 4. Measure which parameters are available and at what update rate. 5. Only justify ECM-side hardware if it captures useful evidence the OBD version cannot. So you may be right: the consumer product might simply be an always-plugged-in OBD event recorder with much better reporting. A question for you: when you say ELM327 devices can already deliver all the data needed, do you mean generic OBD Mode 01 data only, or GM enhanced data as well? For a useful GM V8 report, would generic OBD data be enough, or would you expect the tool to include enhanced items like misfire by cylinder, AFM/DFM state, oil pressure/oil temp, U-codes, and calibration information?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
