I bought my 2020 GMC AT4 back in early December.  I took delivery up in Montana so my first drive was a 750 mile trip home.  I have driven it very little since and it currently has about 1500 miles on it.  I noticed the CEL on the other day so I plugged my ODB scanner into to reveal a Code P2002 Diesel Particulate Filter Efficiency Below Threshold.  It was running fine, no other apparent symptoms.  Read more at: https://www.obd-codes.com/p2002

 

I took it into the dealer two days ago.  They called me later that afternoon and said that it was a new situation and that they were working with GM Engineers to determine a proper course of action but they would like to keep it overnight.  I wasn't surprised, in fact I expect that out of a new power plant and I have a daily driver.  Yesterday they let me know they were Fed-Exing an "exhaust pressure differential sensor" from Lansing.  They said the truck was OK to drive and that I could pick it up if I wanted.  I elected to wait until the repair was completed and hope to have it back today.  

 

I didn't see this code posted on the forum so I thought I would drop this information here for others to search.  I will provide another update when I get the truck back.  I will also ask what this would cost if it wasn't under warranty because I think that is useful information for evaluating the total cost of owning the LM2 diesel plant.  I did get an extended warranty but cost/risk and warranty coverage will be a inevitably be a huge factor in deciding how long to keep this particular rig.  I really really like driving it, more than the 6.2 and ALOT more than the 5.3.   I haven't towed with it yet but I hope to try that out this weekend.

Just got an update...  The sensor arrived but the technician won't have time to install it until tomorrow by EOD so I will have it for the weekend.  I asked them to check for recalls and they initially confirmed that it was all up to date, but today they said that two new updates were just released so they are going to get those done also.  I will find out more info on those when I pick it up.

 

On a side note, it seems like they have a HUGE number of T1's in for service right now, and the diesel specialists are especially highly constrained.  I think TSB's and recalls have the service department running hard.  Now I know where a good portion of my $61k is going.

I like your truck, nice color/option combo.

The new 3.0’s are fascinating, I can’t get over the mpgs and how quiet they are.

Thanks!  I think its perfect :) 

 

UPDATE:  I picked up my truck yesterday, one of the DPF sensors was failing.   The cost to diagnose and replace would have been about $800 without the warranty.  I have had two of these fail on my 2016 Colorado (2.8 TD).   This indicates a potential for higher maintenance for a diesel over the long term unless some delete options emerge.  I got an extended (120k mile) warranty so I am not worried about it, but still just kinda interested in those costs overall.  I do love this truck.

 

They also applied the two latest updates that were released while it was in the shop - one was for the braking system and the other was for infotainment.

Just had to drop mine off at dealership for Check Engine Light CODE P213A.  Waiting on a call back to let me know what issue is.  DIC showed 175 miles to reduced speed, service emission system.  Will keep yall updated.

Can you elaborate on the infotainment update at all?

Yes!  Here is a photo of the service sheet which specifies updates.  I assumed that one was infotainment because when I picked up the truck it ejected the NAV SD card and then loaded an update before I drove it home.  Looking closer it seems like the two updates were for the brake system issue and a reductant control module update which is specific to the Diesel emissions stuff.

They were able to clear the code and check engine light with the redundant control mod update..............hopefully that takes care of that problem.

Thank you for the update. Hopefully this fixed your issues. Keep us posted with any other issues. I'm interested in this motor and will be in the market in the next year. BTW, what color is your Sierra and do you have any more pics? Don't think I have seen that color on the road.

 

Thanks!

I had this same problem with my 2020 AT4 3.0 diesel. Picked up in June. At 1900 miles the check engine light came on. Took it to dealer and they said the same thing: this is something new and they had to contact GM headquarters for info. I was told it was a diesel particulate sensor. They've had my truck 7 days. Am supposed to get it back today. I am in Spokane, WA.

Hi all.

 

I had the Brake Control Module and the ECM & Reducttant Control Module as well (3.765 miles). Then I have the exhaust back pressure valve go out and had to be replaced (code p2b97) (3,870 miles).  All has been good since, at 10,445 miles now.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      By newdude · Posted

      That's bad.  Like, its probably destroying the stub axle the CV slides into.   Do you have a proper lift installed with differential lowering brackets?  Did you install AT4/Trail Boss factory CV axles?

      Hot? New Jersey? Today? I was working on my old 2000 Silverado 1500 today. Believe me, it was boiling hot today. As it has been.
