P0700 is just a generic error code meaning "the tcm has signaled the ecm that it's noticed a problem".

 

You need a more advanced code reader to get codes from the TCM, indicating the actual problem...

I am aware, thanks.

Thats why I said loss of communication, there were several codes for loss of communication. I believe there is a loose harness connection, probably at the body control module.

I could chase it, but why? i have a warranty, scheduled for next wednesday.

Believe me I wish I was . Hanging out on the internet is easier than endless trips to the dealer.

* update . The dealer said that GM had an update that is going to fix the issue . Last tuesday they did the update and as of today (6 days later) no check engine lights and DEF appears to be being consumed at a normal rate . I have my fingers crossed this fixes it.

Its a known issue, generally speaking clear the codes and go on down the road till GM releases an actual fix for it.

I had mine done 2 weeks ago and about 400 miles. Not too many highway miles. My CEL hasn’t come back on yet. What kind of miles were the 40?

Purchased a brand new 2020 Sierra 2500HD 6.6L Diesel. The truck had ~400 miles on it when I left the dealership. I drove it for ~200 miles and the check engine light came on. Called Onstar for a diagnosis and they told me it was a P20EE error code. Took it to the dealer and was told this was a known issue and there was no solution although they had a Service Bulletin that said to reset the sensors, set it up for a regen and clear the code. The dealer said the code may or may not come back on. The next day the check engine light came on and I called Onstar again. They told me the same code P20EE. Called the dealer and was told to continue driving it, they said it would not hurt anything else and as long as the truck was running okay then everything was okay. In my opinion if the check engine light is on then the truck is not running okay. Contacted the GM Service Center and was told the same thing, that GM is working on a solution and to keep driving it until GM can resolve.

 

Now a couple of question: Has anyone else had this happen? Will it cause any damage or other issues in the future if I continue to drive the truck? 

This code just popped on my 2020 2500hd. This is the 3rd time the check engine light came on. 1st was for the fan regulator to cool the engine, which came on 2 days from driving it off the lot and the 2nd was for a heating coil. Has this code p20ee been figured out yet? Would like to know. Any had my truck for 3 months. Any help I would appreciate it.

I have a 2020 3500 Denali and has been in the dealer once or twice a week for the past month for the same P20EE code. Updated software twice, removed and reinstalled software twice, changed NOX sensor twice, and cleaned MAP sensor once. Light stays off for about 60 miles each time. I'll just wait for GM to come up with a legitimate fix or get a lemon law attorney and hope they just replace with a 2023????????????

You might want to make sure the lemon law for your location still applies to the truck, as they vary by state and even location within a state.

      Some Assembly is Required

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
