Anyone have a check engine light show up then go away and come back? Code uo129 lost communication with brake control module, UO101 lost communication with transmission Control Module. Went to bed with no check engine light, woke up in the morning for work and noticed the truck would not remote start. When I go in to head to work noticed check engine light. After work ran codes. Shortly after getting codes and using google to research check engine light was gone. Went for a drive never came back on. Woke up this morning it was on again. Can anybody relate?

You should look at these 2 links:

You need to make sure that nothing is drawing voltage from the battery when the engine is off or causing any interference with the computer. 

My dealer told me that GM has already notified the dealers to tell the customers about issues with using aftermarket sigaret plugins.

I had the same code for my 2019.

i was using the 12v outlet, charging devices from a separate inverter , without the vehicle running ( trying to save fuel) I guess I drained the vehicle battery down too much. That’s when the engine light came on with that code. I now use the factory built in inverter that came with the truck. 1 outlet in the dashboard,the other in the bed. This set up works only with the motor running. So while I’m driving I charge everything then.

hopes this make sense and help out in the future.. 

p.s. I cleared the code myself, never came back on since. It’s been 8 months and 15k miles.

I have a 2019 Silverado with the 2.4L turbo 4 ecotech engine.  I started it today for the first time since Monday after several days of a cold snap.  Since it has been sitting for a few days I remote started it.  When I went outside about 5 minutes later the cooling fan was screaming.  I started the truck and drove about a mile to the store.  When I restarted the truck after leaving the store the cooling day wasn't screaming anymore but the check engine light came on and stayed on.  Now the remote start won't work.  Bringing it in Monday.  This is the first Chevy I've had in almost 20 years and it only has 491 miles on it. . I'm beginning to think I should of stayed with Ford.

Interesting because my truck has been running fine until I hooked up a dash cam in the 12v plug. Left it plugged in and came back to start the car and got all kind of error codes. Unplug the dash cam clear the codes and everything seems to be fine now. 2020 Sierra.

Anyone else having this issue? I had the same CEL issue where it was on for a few days and now off. Dealer said it was the same communication codes mentioned in the previous posts. However, they said that the most recent software that came out 1/16/20 was supposed to address this exact issue. So now they are setting up a loner and need to do deeper investigation with the truck in partnerships with GM engineers. I’m really loosing faith in the vehicle at this point as this is my 7th warranty repair issue. Anyone else still having this issue?

just curious,  how did you clear the codes?  do you have your own code reader/scanner that will do it?  the one I checked into would read codes, but not clear them,  the person at the auto parts store said the only one who can clear a code is the dealer

That isn't remotely correct.  While there might be a really cheap code reader that can't clear codes, I haven't come across it yet.  It MOST DEFINITELY is not a dealer-only function.

 

I've got 3 code readers, one that cost about $100, another that cost about $400, and another that runs on my laptop that cost about $600.  While the more expensive code readers can read codes from more systems on my truck, they all can clear codes.

 

As well, codes will clear automatically as you fix the problem causing them.  Some will clear right away (for example, if you left the MAF sensor unplugged and you plug it in), others will require a certain number of key cycles or a specific driving/engine usage pattern to clear.

This started to happen to my 2019 Elevation today. Same stuff, remote start wont work and CEL on. Did you ever find out what was happening or the fix for it? I got an appointment Tuesday. I had a 2015 Seirra SLE and traded in for the 2019. The 2019 has been to the doc(dealer) more then my kids for recalls.

There have been at least two different GM documents regarding this concern, both required engine control module software updates as remedies.  Additionally as mentioned aftermarket 12v accessories left plugged in with vehicle off are known to cause concerns.

Im in the exact same boat. I feel like my truck has been at the Service center longer than I had the truck. Did you ever get yours back?

      2020 Silverado 3.0 LM2 Engine/Trans Failure
      By Jake_Melvin1
      I have a 2020 RST with the 3.0 LM2 Duramax with 79k miles… the flywheel failed when I was driving down the highway and left me dead in the water.. I had it towed to the dealership 4 weeks ago and they called today and said the transmission and the engine needs to be replaced. Has anyone experienced this with their trucks? I never towed anything heavy and was religious with service.. luckily all covered under the 100k powertrain warranty…

      Transmission or tranfer case? Electrical or mechanical?
      By AaronandAlicia Dailey
      OK everyone I want to give thanks ahead for any advice and help.
       
      Truck in question= 2003 Chevy Suburban Z71, 5.3 L         Transmission= 4L60-E
       
      So the story started when I was going down the road at about 50mph in cruise control, when suddenly I heard the engine begin to rev up. I hit the brake to take it out of cruise control and the engine stopped revving up. Apparently I lost transmission of power from the engine to the wheels because no matter what gear I put it into now, I get no movement from the vehicle. No reverse and no D1, 2 or 3. When I put the vehicle in park and attempt to push the vehicle it will not roll. When placed in any other gear I can then roll the vehicle freely.
       
      Before this happened: Since owning the vehicle 4x4 has always been shifty.....hehehe...sorry couldnt help it. I have the model where there are 4 buttons with lights the buttons are located left hand of dash near the turn signal. When I first got the truck sometimes it seemed like it didnt want to switch between gears. for example I would have to hit the button multiple times before it would switch and even then it seemed like it hadnt really switched but the lights would indicate it had. Most of the time the light for the button I selected would flash multiple times and then return to previous selection. Often times after turning the vehicle off and then returning to vehicle to go somewhere I would find that the light has switched back to a gear that it wasnt in when i left the vehicle. It seems to favor 4x4hi. As of lately I havent been able to get the lights to switch at all. It seems to be stuck in 4hi permanently.  
       
      I have tested the 4wd switch and its fine. 
      I tried unhooking battery for half hour with lights on to reset PC. I then reconnected battery cable and turned vehicle on but not start it. Then I pulled a bunch of fuses and plugged them back in. ( seen it in a video and the guy said it was supposed to wake up the TCCM) Well that did nothing. 
      I have the truck off of all wheels right now and was trying to figure out if the transfer case is stuck in neutral. With the truck in drive as I turn the rear draft the front moves also. I am assuming that means it is in 4wd. But should I have someone hold the front drive shaft while i turn the rear drive shaft to confirm its not just from friction or something.
       
      I actually have the front drive shaft partly out right now in an attempt to get at and remove the shift motor and manually put the transfer case into 2hi.
       
      I am also considering changing out solenoids. I have gathered it is unlikely the shift solenoids. Is it possible it could be one of these:
      1 * EPC (Pressure Control) Solenoid
      1 * PWM Solenoid
      1 * Manifold Pressure Switch
      1 * TCC Solenoid w/Harness
       
      Another thing I suspect which would be an easy fix is the transfer case fluid level. I removed the fill plug and nothing came out. I can tell it has been leaking. I would have already topped it off but I have been stuck at home (no running vehicle lol). Could low fluid cause this issue? I hope that's all it is lol. Anyways I got a ride to the store tomorrow and to look at a back-up vehicle. Anything you guys recommend to grab from the parts store while I'm in town tomorrow?
       
      What would be your guys recommendation on how to solve this problem and fix it?
       
      All help is appreciated.
      thanks in advance,
      Aaron

      low voltage at trailer plug
      By Henry L
      2020 Silverado 2500, have taken this truck to two different GM dealers and they cannot find an issue. At the at the 7-pin plug when the manual gain is depressed at 100%, it only puts out 7 volts. Need 12 to lock up brakes. Cannot properly set up my gain when hooked to trailer before towing. Dealership has replaced fuse block brake controller and I had them change out the plug on the bumper. Still the same. At neither dealership have they been able to give me voltage going in the controller and coming out. One even said they can't put a volt meter on it. I believe it's a wire somewhere. But due to my health issues I cannot physically work on my truck. I'm probably going to end up taking it to an auto electrician. Any thoughts!

      Rebuild 700r4, anyone done it?
      By W8MCC
      Were working on getting an 86 k10 back on the road.  The trans slips between gears and doesn't have a working OD.
       
      Does this sound like a master rebuild kit fix, or should we be looking for another trans and just swap it in.
       
      I'm sure we could work through rebuilding it, but this would be my first time trying to fix one.
       
      Anyway, just wondering what to expect.  Things like, how do you know if the pump is good, torque converter, any hard parts that could be broke that would save me the cost of the rebuild kit in case I just have to replace the trans anyway...etc...
       
      Thanks!

      4L60E transgo sk kit issues
      By msteinkraus
      I am currently helping my father with his transmission rebuild for the 4l60e on a 2002 avalanche, he installed a transgo 4l60e sk shift improvement kit along with adding a corvette servo. he installed a cam on the 5.3 and the engine runs flawlessly and for the transmission he added a 3000 stall converter. the transmission will shift into reverse fine and will shift into second with using the manual shift, however the transmission will not shift into drive. the valve body has been checked over and over again and everything seems to be in place. Has anyone else had this issue or know what may cause this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
