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.

      I can relate. 3 years ago I did that on my Avalanche. I was sore for a week. The only maintenance I do myself now is drop and fill on the transmission on my Honda’s. It’s just too easy. My yard work with my walks in the morning will be enough now I passed 70. The contributing factor is the heat in Texas. You just have to pace yourself.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am sorry if this was misleading. That was a document attached to our most recent work order number (Doc# 7105804) that summarized all the current updates. These programs were ‘redone’ in the past but these versions dated 4/1/2016 were the ones that actually made all of the problems disappear. These programs were relayed to the dealer from the technical services group at GM. Here is the exact wording on the last work order:   “Front view camera reprogramming with SPS. A new version of FCM software was released to the service dept. In addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements, this update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases. SPS camera and calibrate camera. OLH to perform extended camera relearn procedure after camera calibration. Would not take with first GDS learn. Front camera SPS – BDYZ333157450 GDS2 – camera road calibration performed 2810835 Front view camera reprogramming with SPS LT 0.6 OLH – extended camera relearn procedure OLH LT 1.5”   I got the truck back on 4/8 – since that time it has been great no problems whatsoever. The lane keep assist, active cruise control and AEB all work very well around town and at highway speeds up to 80mph. During this time I had been away for a week and purposely let the battery sit without a batter tender. Even with the battery a bit lower there were no problems exhibited. I really think this one has it fixed after dealing with these issues over a couple of years. These new programs and relearn process when completed seem to make all the parts (and newer replacement parts) ‘talk’ to each other without any glitches. Hope this helps

      I turned 72 today. My day began with a trip to the pharmacy to pickup meds for me and the dog and then a stop at my chiropractor before heading home. Once home I started the job of replacing the rear brake pads and one rotor on our 2018 Silverado which will probably end up taking me 3 days to finish, gotta pace myself you know. Sometimes I question myself on why I still do most of my own repairs but if I wasn't then it's more than likely I would be sitting in front of the TV all day. It seems like the list of things I need to do gets longer no matter what I accomplish. I'm not complaining but being retired was so much easier when I was 62.   Peace

      google "bathub failure curve". Basically, any part of the vehicle can fail at any time.  It starts off as being more likely (early failure), then the failure rate goes down (but does not go to zero), then it goes up over time because it wears/ages out.

      I went from every other day to about once in five since the rain abated. I'm not unhappy about that. Took most of the month for the ditches to dry enough to mow.
