I have my truck (2019, new body style, crew cab, WT, ~5.5k miles) now at a different dealership. I figured since several dealerships in my area seem slow that they would spend more time investigating the problem.  My codes are like those previously posted by others, but without the P codes.  When I scan the modules (Bluedriver scan tool), codes are either pending or in the history.  It may take several tries to clear the codes leading me to think there is a connection issue to one or several modules (or a short). I dropped the vehicle off Tuesday morning and last night was informed they were going to spend Thursday going into more diagnostics, vague so far but the service advisor seems to be willing to help (unlike the previous dealership I went to several times).

A lot of people seem to have this issue after getting the last brake service module recall completed. I got mine completed about a month ago. All was fine until today. I’m thinking the two are connected somehow. Definitely smells like a software issue. But dang, how many more times do we need to get this thing software updated.

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 on Monday to confirm.  I will let you know more when I get the truck back and post any relevant info.

 

****Update

Dealer said they applied TSB# PIT5735a which I believe is this:

No error codes - I will update later this week


 

So basically the brake module is staying on (after turning vehicle off) and reading the wheel sensor. Dealer said they flashed brake module with new firmware to fix issue. The TSB dated 3/4 mentions that GM will provide an update later to correct issue. From my understanding the dealer just got this new update a few days ago. Time will tell. 

So if all of the error codes are listed under the brake module then this is your problem. In my case, the bluedriver scanner shows the truck's error codes were from the brake module.

Add me to the club. 19 Silverado Z71 Had oil change and brake reprogram recall done last week. Check engine on today with U0100, U0101, U0146 and P25A2. Check engine now off when I shut it off and started it ten min later.

I originally had the brake control module software update done 2 months ago.  (Brake pad life Remaining percentage was counting down too fast).  I got my first check engine light with codes about a week after that.  I used my scan tool and cleared the codes. 
 

but then, 2 weeks ago, I get a letter from big (corporate) Chevrolet saying that there is an issue with the brake control module software that needs to be addressed.  The letter also stated that, “even if you have already had the software update done in the past, it will need to be re-updated again.“ so I took my truck back to the dealer again, 2 days ago for the second time for this same “update”. Guess the first software update had a bug.  
 

so far so good with no check engine light or engine codes. Idon’t know if the faulty software update and the engine codeissue is related, but so far so good.  I’ll keep you all updated

Gentlemen we have a fix.  PIT5735B has corrected the issue.  I had the software update for the BSCM/brake module controller applied to my truck on May 27 2020.  The PDF does not look like it is published online yet, so it is attached below.

 

Had a GM engineer apply the BSCM with the mechanic at the dealership.  The engineer also mentioned the PIT5730A & PIT5735B are both addressed in the same latest software update.

 

If you read the description it is caused by the vechicle just rolling a little when parked.  Although have never had a auto issue raise so many codes period; especially for a root cause being so minor.

Wanted to add in my experience here.   Had same CEL and codes thrown after 13K miles, so I scheduled an appt with local dealership.   Three engine cycles later the light went out and codes went to ‘historical’ status.  
 

When I got to the dealership, the check in guy said “if no current light, the we can’t help ya” and tried to send me on my way.   I insisted they look at it and after a 5 min back and forth they agreed to bring it back and take a look.
 

Thirty min or so later they came back and said they just so happened to find a ‘software bug’ and reprogrammed the BSCM.  
 

The service bulletin related to this bug was listed on work order: 20-na-155 (Image Attached)

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Typically its said and I agree so far that the engine oil drain plug oring is not required to be changed out unless you see some damage happening to the oring as apparently the oring lasts well. The dealer I have been getting a few parts from never even stocked the oring but instead stocked the whole drain plug that comes with a new oring which for the dealer is easier because they just throw in a new drain plug if there was any question about damage on it as well and charge the customer accordingly but again only if it is needed.    Also a hint about the drain plug oring to help it last vs a risk of causing damage to it, after its been removed and wiped off or washed off ( that is a whole other topic about some solvents damaging orings because some solvent types do ) to make sure to relube the oring with a bit of new oil so that it won't "grip" on the sealing surface of the pan and needlessly stress out the oring. Its no different than putting some oil on the sealing ring of the engine oil filter. So I just grabbed a new drain plug to have on hand although more recently bought just the oring as well but as its special it costs half the price of the drain plug ... !   Since you mentioned the hate to be empty handed theme, I am not sure what you have in the way of filter removal tools as I like using the exact sized for the filter steel 1" wide band with side to side swivel handle filter removal tool, and it can be used to snug up the filter without risk of damaging a filter as well ( its probably a lisle brand I have ). The drain plug hex size is 15mm and I always like using a 6 point socket if I have a choice and with this truck I've been using just a 3/8 ratchet that has a fairly long handle. Do you have a funnel that will work to pour oil in as that is definitely the short coming bastard part about the design with that fill port on the valve cover on such an angle that no normal funnel will even work. There are adapters and things on the market that will set into or screw into that fill port, I didn't want to deal with US shipping as that is all I was seeing at the time so caved and bought a Lisle brand multi vehicle fit adapter funnel kit and it really works well but there are much less expensive adapters out there that work in conjunction with an off the shelf funnel that would do the job also. Now that I have it, I like how it works and works so slick with the shape of the Amsoil 1 quart containers I have now switched over to. Whatever you do, have a funnel system of some sort as you will be swearing if you dropped the oil and then realize you have nothing to properly pour new oil in without spilling it all over the engine !.     Other comments, quite a bit of oil flows out down the filter when its cracked loose due to the housing above the filter so let it dribble down the filter until it slacks off flow and then remove the filter to create less possible mess. It seems these engines can sit for quite a while and drip and if you have time let it sit there and drip out of the engine as much as it wants. Also a good time to grease the 9 zerks on the front end, that's my typical practice anyway to grease the suspension and steering each time I change the oil. And remember to reset the oil change minder ( not something I am used to doing with older vehicles and equipment ).

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      I really did not measure what came out. I carefully followed directions to check level after i did the spill and fill and filter change. I used 10 quarts. 9 was not quite enough. My trans temp was about 175 when I checked it. Truck sitting in my driveway very close to level where I always check oil pretty much every time for consistency. My driveway is just ever so slightly downhill to run water to the street.

      Sounds like maybe it's announcing Navigation turns or Alerts (it mutes the music) ? When it mutes again, turn up the volume quickly and see if maybe the navigation volume is really low?
