I've got a 2020 Silverado RST 5.3.  About a week ago I got a a Service ESC - Brake System message on my dash along with one of two limp modes, either speed limited to 62 miles per hour or 43 mph. The issue is intermittent but when it does happen the abs system shuts down and the brakes feel like they are full manual brakes.

 

I have an appointment scheduled for the dealer on Tuesday but I was able to run the codes via my main mechanic.  It shows a U2413 code which is a Serial Data Gateway Module failure.

It throws a bunch of other codes related to not being able to communicate to other modules.

 

Hoping its just an ESC flash similar to the 2019 recall but who knows. Considering pulling the S&B cold air intake to avoid any warranty issues.  Thoughts on this?

Question of they day: "Have you ever worked in the car industry?"

...

I went to pickup the the truck after a reprogram of the brake control module and a 5 mile verification drive and that was the question asked when they pulled the truck up for me.

Perplexed I said no and he said,  "Are these the same esc warnings you were getting when you dropped it off?" Yes sir same exact messages.

 

So needless to say I got a lyft to work and they took the truck back to run the codes again and take another look.

Got an update today. They are replacing the brake module.  The part is coming out of California to Arizona so I should get the truck back early next week.

They replaced the master cylinder and brake module.  Worked great for the 1st day.  The next morning I had a Service Brake Assist message on the screen.  Back to the dealership.

Well did you ever get it straightened out? Mine threw that code and all the lights and gauges went black as soon as i pulled onto the highway. 2020 GMC ZRX

...just fyi, you probably won't get a response from idle_liquid, as that user signed up, made two posts on one day, more than 3 years ago, and never returned to the site...

    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
