The check engine light just came on in my new GMC with just over 2k miles on it. I just towed for the first time yesterday, but not a heavy load (definitely under 3000 lbs). I pulled the codes just now and got:

 

U0101 Lost Communication with TCM

U0129 Lost Communication with Brake System Control Module

 

I'm probably going to have to take it in to the dealer, but first wanted to see if this is a common issue or if there are any relevant bulletins or recalls out first, just so I can go in well-informed.

 

Thanks.

Some good news:  My dealership called moments ago and said that Chevy had new module updates (posting yesterday) regarding this issue and that they are going to apply them today and further test drive

I had the same issue prior to the last update in performed in Feb.

Thanks. That looks like a likely candidate. Does anyone have a copy of the full document?

Anyway, the details on this seem to be that the system sees the battery voltage dropping while parked, which makes sense because I just added a BlackVue dashcam system with park mode that's drawing power while the truck is off, as long as the battery doesn't get too low. When the system sees a low voltage, it tries to wake up some other modules to do various things. But in earlier versions of the software, the codes that it sends to wake up those other modules may not be correct. There's an updated software that became available on 3/18/19. My truck was built about a week before that.

Hey partner, I get those codes everytime I remote start my truck with it hooked up to the trailer. Considering it a glitch.

I too received codes U0101 and U0129 when pulling my empty toy hauler, about 6,000 pounds.  The code went away after detaching the toy hauler.  I have an appointment to take it to the shop for the software update.  It was new in March, so under warranty.

I've been seeing these codes show up on my Bluedriver OBD II code reader even after today's most recent recall that refreshed the EBCM.

 

If anyone has a fix for this I would appreciate the info - dealer is clueless in the matter.

 

 

Here is the summary:

Quote

Make: Chevrolet Year: 2019

Odometer: 2,140 miles

----Electronic Brake Control Module Codes Scan Report---- 6 Electronic Brake Control Module Trouble Codes:
1. U0140
Lost Communication With Body Control Module

2. U0100
Lost Communication With ECM/PCM "A"

3. U0101
Lost Communication with TCM

4. U0131
Lost Communication With Power Steering Control Module

5. U0151
Lost Communication With Restraints Control Module

6. U0146
Lost Communication With Gateway "A"


****Update

well, dealer said codes were history codes. Flashed ECM and reflashed EBCM for second time under latest recall. Performed a “complete history wipe” whatever that means - not sure how that is different from clearing codes. But I had to go back this morning for a B1517 as they left some connections loose. 
 

Now I have driven 60 miles (since this morning) and 0 codes and transmission feels very smooth. Fingers crossed.

I had the MIL on. U0100, U0101, U0146 and P25A2. The light went out before I could get an appointment with the dealer and didn't feel like driving all that way to hear the "well we don't see anything wrong" BS and then I saw the recall for the brake module and wonder if they are related. I will try to get it in soon. Keep us posted.

Im getting U0100, U0101, and U0146 after hooking up my trailer today.  Issue is not going away after removal of the trailer.  I removed the neg battery cable for a extended period of time,  code still shows.      Cant clear it using my obd scanner either.   

 

Good to know its most likely a false alarm.   Ill take to the dealer later in the week.

Well it has been around 500 miles since EBCM firmware was applied and the dealer performed a history wipe. 
 

One thing I noticed is MPG is about 1.5mpg better and the voltmeter on the dash is always riding above ~14.4V. After the update it now seems to behave more typical to the GM regulated voltage control system and zero codes including all of the modules. 

 

 

**** issues are back again... dammit

Have you went and seen the dealer? Just had all four of these yesterday and the light was also gone after next day. Are you having any braking issues ?

I haven't been able to get it to the dealer yet. I'm not experiencing any noticeable issues with my brake. If I had I would just get it towed.. The MIL has not come back on in over the week either.

Has anyone found a resolution to this yet?
 

i think I have two different issues.  The u101 and u100 and u101 and P25a2 issue.  Had this twice. First time was to far from a dealer.  Second time it was Sunday and the dealership was closed.

 

yesterday I had just p25a2 code only (none of the original ucodes) which might be the brake module; a software release was released for this in December.  But it had bugs and caused problems with power steering.  Now a second software update was released about a week ago.  

https://www.autoblog.com/2020/02/11/gm-brake-software-recall-silverado-sierra-ct6/

 

these show different symptoms and with a high probability are different issues.  Did anyone get any real/solid/effective or practical information out of GM on the ucode issues.  There are about 4 different threads out there so probably hundreds of people have had this.

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."
