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.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
