2014 Silverado 1500 Checkengine Light P057C

[BhamBearss]

Hey there!

I am in dire need of help. I have been having the SAME issue with my truck for over half a year. My first problem started in January when I noticed my check engine light came on. After two days it went off on its own...then when I was driving on the interstate, my truck started to jerk and the RPM's would jump and just stay there for a while and the truck would not be going any faster, instead it was like breaks were being applied...when they were not. I took it in to the dealer ( Ive since read that that was a dumb idea..) they said that it was just my pedal position sensor (PPS) and they re-calibrated it...

 

A week goes by and I noticed that my check engine lights came on and then went off within a day. On my way home on a flat part of the interstate, a grade break light came on to let me know it had started the assist...which was weird bc I was accelerating on the interstate. Then the RPM's did the same thing as before. I took it in a second time and they just replaced the PPS. This worked I think for less than a month. Then the SAME thing happens, Check engine comes on, Grade Break randomly comes on, RPM's jerk.

 

Take it in for the 3rd time and they say its a wire... SO they replace a random wire...This fixes it for another week. THEN THE SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN... FINALLLY they say its the torque converted and a pump and that it'll be 5K.... I had already spent over 1k ALREADY. I ended up taking it to a transmission shop because I can't play this game every time. I thought maybe they were just doing something wrong and misdiagnosed it a couple times... but then after a month of having my transmission fixed the check engine light went back on. This time I had time to take it the same day to autozone to get the codes read. It threw out the code P057C three times...this apparently has something to do with the PPS. I took it back to the dealer since they said they would fix it for free if it was the part they previously fixed. The dealership said that the PPS was shot and they had to put in another new one but that they didn't know why it went bad.

 

A week goes by and my grade breaks came on again today randomly and the RPMS are starting to jump again.

 

Has anyone had this problem or head of anyone having this problem??

 

Thank you in advance!

FYI it's BPP in GM speak. Only the sensor, ECM and 3 wires involved. Sounds to me like you have a wiring or terminal issue. There is a TSB regarding this exact issue. Whether they saw it or used it fully is anybodies guess.

Have the dealer review PIT5206f, document ID#4875355. Exact symptoms you are experiencing.

Tonight mine did the exact same thing. I manually shifted shifted it and had no more trouble. I put it in D and it would mess up again but check engine light has not come back on, earlier today it had P057C. I wonder what does manually shifting do away with that would cause this issue. I have a feeling it is one of the computers.
