Had the same problem with my new 2020.  Check Engine line came on the day I bought it with 46 miles on the odometer.  They just released a software update for the brake control module.  I had them reflash mine last monday and it has been good since then.

mine came on last week when I was on vacation in Moab the Oreilleys code reader said the P25A2 code was requested by the brake controller the tool would not reset the light but it went away after the next engine start or 2. Taking it to the dealer next week for an oil change and to look in to the mystery light.

Ok gentlemen, 

 

SO sorry for the delay, my apologies as this is going on a couple of weeks now.  BUT, once this was verified that this WAS a result of bad programming,  I was also made aware of that cylinder #8 failed leak down test and had to be replaced.. ON TOP OF THAT, i kept telling the dealership there is something wrong with the radio and that way it handles the USB Music and Playlist.. Basically, when playing from a Playlist (mind you this is a NON HD-Radio but still the 8" screen), and you stop the truck, leave vehicle, let vehicle fully shut down, re-enter vehicle and start it up.  The music will not play and the playlist filename is found but it doesn't show any of the songs in the list.  I thought "OH H#LL NO!! NOT AGAIN WITH ALL THE ISSUES!!!".  SO,  I verified this was a true programming/radio issue as I have since traded that double cab in for a crew cab with more upgraded options on it that I wanted from the beginning.. In this new gray (steel color) truck, the playlist plays just fine even after turning off and back on the truck.  Acts like you would expect it to.  To start playing where it left off and has NO issued with re-loading or keeping the playlist loaded.  

 

SO YES!!!, I traded that truck in for a new(er) one due to all the issues encountered above.  Although, I didn't realize it but it was another Loaner Special, but I don't care as long as the truck runs like it is supposed to. ;).  Good luck to all who having to keep their trucks and I truly mean that.  This truck will be my last and I'll deal with any issues that arise from here on out unless someone else does something stupid like total my truck ;)..

What we all

have to

understand about GMC SIERRA is that it’s much more electronically demanding the your regular Chevrolet.  The moment you open a door there’s probably 20

processes going on with your electronics that drain your battery quickly.  In all my Sierras listening to the stereo in acc mode was unheard of because within 4-5 mins your battery low warning ⚠️ comes on.  
unfortunately there’s no peripheral electronics by pass switch for these instances. But the ultimate fix to that is, dual battery with isolator

my 19 AT4 is no different.  But dual batts are in its future. ?

I had the P25A2 code on my 2020 1500 Chevrolet Silverado, Dealership updated software. Check engine light on. I've got a high end OBD2 meter that can also be used on transports. Had to boost the truck because an air compressor was left on and drained the battery. Plus weather here and rain. Code P25A2 came back and check engine light is back on. Ran the diagnosis on the OBD2 and everything on said truck was tested within spec. Erased code but the check engine light is still on even after driving an hour? Will I have to return to the dealership?

Update, My Ancel HD3300 HD DPF Master  Found the code P25A2 and I erased it. than P0130 02 Sensor circuit bank 1 came up. Again ran the self test and everything was within specs. The tester than prompted me to shut down the truck and restart. Check engine light was now off. This all started because I left an air compressor on all night.

    • I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here. 
    • My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
    • Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken. 
    • Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
