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.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
