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.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Thanks - I wasn't quite caffeinated this morning. 2:1 makes sense, turning the crankshaft 360 degrees will turn the cam 180 degrees, and had I done that, the cam's dot would be at 6 and the crank's at 12 again.   I went ahead and took the sprocket off anyway, aligned everything dot-to-dot including the balance shaft just for s&g. I'm glad I did because I discovered no Loctite on the timing sprocket bolts. Maybe it's not required, but at only 20 ft-lb torque spec, those bolts aren't in there very tight. Cleaned and reassembled with some thread locker and torqued.   A general observation: Less is more with RTV. If a little doesn't stop a leak, a LOT probably won't, either. RTV is thinly veiled revenge, in a tube...

      The timing marks are ok, that is #1, you can turn it over until they line up and it won't change anything, the crankshaft turns twice for every camshaft revolution, I have always set up SB Chevs as your pic shows using a straight edge

      Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.
