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. 

What EBCM firmware update was applied?

 

does anyone have the bulletin number?

I just signed up for a 1 day repairprocedures.com subscription. It's $15, but they have a pretty awesome archive of info, including what appears to be a full service manual.   Anyway, the de

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.

Went to the recall site.  My VIN does not flag this recall.

 

as well after reading the bulletin.  I do not have the ABS or ESC lights on, on the dash console.  I know because the first time this happened took a picture of the dash console and looked at it now

 

have never used the app to start.

 

the last two times did not wait the five minutes to start the car.

 

not sure the recall applies to all the U code MIL errors.


if anyone else learns anything applicable.  Please opt in.  I know there are other people having this.

I never used the app to remote start either as I do not have a remote start.

 

I posted the recurring codes I was having earlier in this thread and you quoted me and asked what was the document that referenced my issue with these codes. 

 

Have you scanned the codes yourself? You will need a code scanner that is capable of reading the modules.  I use the BlueDriver scan tool https://www.bluedriver.com/products/bluedriver-scan-tool

 

Additionally, your best start is probably to follow chain of command at your dealership.  If you have hit a dead end with the service advisor, talk to the service manger, and then call GM for additional support or try another dealership.  

 

One thing I learned is if a module is updated, other modules may need to be updated as well so they can properly communicate with each other; otherwise and error may occur.

 

Also, find out how long your truck sat on the lot.  If it sat for a long period of time and the battery was not maintained the main computer may need to be re-flashed and the a complete history wipe of the codes may need to be performed.

Pulled the codes with two different readers, on different occasions.  Was at home once and at Dads another time so used his reader another time.

 

Truck had only been on the lot for days. 
 

Yesterday finally got the dealership after a couple visits to address; probably what happened is the internal engineer case approved the work.  I know they changed multiple parts and reprogrammed.

 

when I pickup will update the outcome for the community.

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:


****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'm having this exact same problem since purchase 4 weeks ago. Been  back to dealer twice. I'll be back as soon as this virus thing settles down.

Kevin0311 we have the same issue.  Told everyone would come back and support.  Have been in the dealership three times.  First and last time they just cleared the codes.  Second time they replaced the electronic brake module.  As well they flashed it with the latest as of February software update.

 

during the second service they could not get the codes to go away.  They did a software reset procedure multiple times and could not get the software to upload eventually they got lucky and got the upload to the EBCM to work.  Although even by a brake bleed and physical reset they could not get the codes to go away so they just cleared them out of the computer.

 

Disappointed with the lack of fundamental knowledge the service writer and techs had about how to deal with a software issue.  They think that a code a OBD2 code is a match for a solution .  It’s a match for a system or component having a problem but it’s not a match for an excat matching root cause.  They fundamentally did not grasp that different software problems could bring up the same obd2 code; They had no idea what a data debug or dump was that they could upload to the GM engineers.  


Typical non logic or methodical troubleshooting; just random attempts at anything.  If something clears a code or hides the code it that is good enough.  Still a little baffled that GM tech training does not include what most junior high AP Computer students know about how to start troubleshooting software issues.

 

Supposedly over a month ago (about feb 20ish) a new software fix would be ready in a month and they would call me back.  Have not heard back yet.  Had the codes another time when my wife was driving the truck had her confirm as have been keeping my obd2 reader in the truck.

 

will put my service work order here and my GM case number.

Anyway we can get everyone to post their case numbers with GM/Chevy engineers.  The techs at every dealership will have called into GM and made a case which has a number.  If we all share the case numbers here.  And share this thread with the dealership to give back to the engineers they can cross reference all the cases.  If a fix is not in the works this will prove to the engineers and product team multiple people are having the issue and will get it prioritized.

Just want to chime in. 20 Sierra AT4, 3.0, 500miles.

Just got P25A2, U0100, U0101, U0146, with a CEL. Going to go see the Chevy dealer tomorrow as the nearest GMC dealer is almost an hour away.

Has anyone truly gotten this cleared up? Any insight to encourage the techs to look in the right direction instead of just random guessing?

I suppose that's the real question, huh? Does anyone know what the "answer" is? Has anyone heard back from GM with a real solution?

Add me to the club. I have a 2019 Silverado WT, double cab, 4x4.  All recalls up to date. I warmed up the truck this morning since it was cold outside. After about 10 minutes, I got back in the truck to find the check engine light on.  Hooked up the scanner and found codes U0146, U0100, U0101, and P25A2.  I used the scanner to clear the codes, and the check engine light went away, and all codes cleared.  So far they haven’t returned, but I’ve only driven the truck about 20 miles since then. Has anyone figured out what the dealer is doing to remedy this? Just curious, because I have that funny feeling that it’s going to come back and I’m going to end up at the dealership. And just FYI, I have never told anything with this truck before. I also had the brake module recall performed about a month ago. Never had any performance issues out of the truck. Truck ran fine, shifted fine, and break fine the entire time the MIL light was on

      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 ?.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.
