Hi everyone, 

 

I am having a bunch of codes pop up on my truck. It seems to still run fine but its something i would like to address. 

from my reader they are

P0307

P050d

P219a

P0442

and u0401

I have searched each one and it seems as if its a eval leak somewhere. If someone can lead me in the right direction that would be great.

Thanks.

Which truck, engine & transmission.

This is what I found on the web....However, with it being a 2014, I would suspect a bad ground to start with.

 

Good video on it here:

GM Truck Electrical Ground Issues & Preventative Maintenance (Silverado, Sierra, SUVs)| AnthonyJ350

 

 

 

P0307 = Misfire in cylinder 7

P050d =CHEVROLET Code - Cold Start Rough Idle; possible cause

  • Faulty Fuel Injector
  • Fuel Injector harness is open or shorted
  • Fuel Injector circuit poor electrical connection

P219a  Fuel Trim Cylinder Balance Bank 1   
possible causes: Leaking or contaminated fuel injectors;

Low fuel pressure or running out of fuel

Leaking evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve

Exhaust or intake air system leaks Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system Positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system is leaking or the valve is stuck open

Ignition system Incorrectly

seated engine oil dipstick, tube or oil fill cap
 

P0442= possible Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected Small Leak

and u0401=Invalid Data Received From Engine Control Module

Probably a bad injector with that misfire and injector code. Injector failures are kinda common.

 

The EVAP leak may just be your gas cap seal.

As above, could be gas cap. For it to have rough idel, could also be something else.

 

Here's another tip to check. When you open your gas cap, is there pressure coming from the tank? (Pressure built up being released)... if so, you have a bad evap cannister.

Was getting a check gas cap on the notification screen so bought a new one but it is still happening.

    • Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.    
    • not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...
    • First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.  
    • I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou
