Hey everybody, I’m new to the forum and had a question. Has anybody had the P1488 engine on their new 3.0 Duramax? What was the dealerships fix? Thanks in advance for your responses.

People need to quit relating the other Duramax to ours. Their not even ALMOST the same. the big diesels are designed by Isuzu and the babies by FEV. While the codes are the same in some instances this

A little more info on this issue. I have been to the dealership for this issue about  2 weeks ago. They determined that the code was the result of a bad particulate filter pressure sensor. I had to wait for the part to come in. They replaced it on 2/7/20 and the CEL came on again on 2/9/20 for the same code, which was verified through On star. I’m waiting on a call back from dealer now. 

Thanks

The codes tells me it is a 5 volt reading but could be anything from exhaust, starter electrical circuit, water in fuel, EGR, etc.. A long list of possible problems.

Welcome to the life of "modern" diesel emissions.  The nightmare all diesel manufacturers have to deal with.  I don't think there is one manufacturer that has this issue figured out. 
Ever wonder why Crapota doesn't want to bring diesel engines to their American vehicle line-up?  The DPF/DEF nightmare would ruin their reliability ratings.

One would think companies such as Caterpillar, Detroit Diesel, Mercedes, and Isuzu have got it figured out since there are millions of these engines used in various vehicles on the road each day.

I took my truck back to the dealership to look into the issue again. According to the service rep, they couldn’t figure out why it was displaying the code again. They contacted one of the engineers at GM, and he told them to do an ECM reset. Since doing the ECM reset, my truck hasn’t shown the code again. There has been about 300 miles put on my truck since. I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Hope you get your issue resolved and mine stays resolved. I’d be interested to hear what your dealership comes up with as far as resolving your P1488 CEL.

Hey Brent, I was wondering if the dealership ever figured out what your P1488 code was. My dealership has yet to figure mine out. I would appreciate your response if they did fix your new trucks problem.Thanks

Having the same issue.  Bought the truck new in February 2020.  At 1600 miles CEL came on and Onstar diagnostics gave me error code P1488.  Took it to dealer and they did a manual regen and code cleared.  At 2000 miles CEL light again and same code.  They did another manual regen and said it was a participant matter sensor safety tube.  At 2700 miles CEL light again and same code.  Dealer did manual regen and flashed the computer.  At 3600 miles and CEL light and same code AGAIN!  Took it back to dealer and now they are saying it is the participant matter sensor that is bad, but...they don’t have any in stock and they can’t find anyone at GM that does, and the part is back ordered and they don’t know when it will be available.  ?????‍♂️

Was reading over the GM OEM repair information(I don't work for GM).  This particular code repair tree has what I call poor diagnostics.  You don't check wiring at all.  Basically if the code sets and there is no other codes.  Replace the  Exhaust Particulate Matter Sensor.  Hopefully GM will get to the bottom of it.

Just had my check engine light come on again.  OnStar diag came back with the same code P1488.  The truck has already been back to the dealer for this about 500 miles ago.  They said that there was a firmware update that they installed and it should fix the issue.  Well I guess it didn't.  I have an appointment in the morning to get the truck looked at.

I have been dealing with this issue as well.  Been to the dealer 3 times since purchasing my 2020 Duramax I6.  Parts are hard to come by so I will wait for my second sensor replacement.  Had the software update as well.  This issue is certainly temperamental.  It comes and goes without any reason that I can tell.  I see that there are mostly people on this forum from altitude.  Maybe this has something to do with it?

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
