not checking DEF level is like not checking fuel gauge when picking up new at dealer. Its your fault. CEL has stayed off since fix at dealer last thursday. P20EE fix finally has worked.

Might be true on 2020's, if the 'gauge' is accurate -- I don't have a '20, but it sounds like there are issues with it.

 

2011 there was no def gauge at all -- just the miles remaining warnings. 

2012 - 2019 have a def level indicator.  Won't tell you if it's full -- only gives a %  indication if it thinks their is less than 30%.  Above 30 it just says 'OK'.  Which of course is useless for 'checking to see if full'.  

 

 

Ya, I know, it's a 2020 thread.

What was the fix for this problem. I’ve been to dealer 3 times and they said GM told them the fuel pump module is bad. I doubt this is the problem

Truck thinks it has a faulty DEF sensor.

 

I'd guess they will install a new one. 

Let us know.

I'd still take it in and have the code scanned and documented.

I have a 2020 Sierra with 400 miles and the check engine light on.  I see others have had this issue.  Has it been resolved for most, or something I need to get used to.

Not something to get used to.

 

At 400 miles, get it to a dealer and make use of the warranty you paid for.

 

There are 100's (or 1000's) of things that could be the cause for the light.  

Typically, much easier to find with some service training and with use of a diagnostic computer to help track it down.

You can hit the OnStar button, and they will give you the error codes / DTC's if you are curious...

Check engine came on my truck today at 15k. I went to auto-zone to get check and it wasn’t showing anything (maybe truck is too new for their device) and thn I called OnStar (P20EE) showed. 
 

I’ll be going to dealer next week.

I got the P20EE code at 800 miles after pulling a trailer for an extended period of time. I reset the light and it has not come back on in over 7000 miles.

      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.
