I've searched high and low but im not finding much. 

 

2017 GMC Sierra 2500 6.0l V8 - 48,835 miles - Getting codes P0036, P0138, P0141, P013A, P013E, P0054. Some of these are on the scanner multiple times. I replaced the bank 1 sensor 2 O2 sensor with a bosch direct fit, cleared the codes and started the truck. The code went away and stayed off for one drive and some time idling. I turned the truck off, and started it back up, the codes came back. I checked the connector, wiring and both fuses, cleared the code, went for a drive. The code stayed off until i got home, shut the truck off and then restarted it. The CEL came right back on instantly after starting it. Got any suggestions?

What are the codes for?

 

P0036 - HO2S Heater control circuit sensor 2 DTS Severity 2 of 3: Repair immediately if drivability issues are present. Threat to essential system components if not repaired as soon as possible 

P0138 - H02S Circuit High Voltage Sensor 2 - Three Times

P0141 - H02S Heater Performance Sensor 2 - Three Times 

P013A - HO2S Slow Response Rich to Lean Sensor 2 

P0036 - Heater Control Circuit Sensor 2 - Three Times 

P013E - H02S Delayed Response Rich To Lean Bank 1 Sensor 2

P013A - H02S Slow Response Rich To Lean Sensor 2

P0054 - H02S Heater Resistance Sensor 2

 

On the scanner, some of the duplicate codes would read as "Stored" or "Pending" and the P0036 said "Permanent"

 

Let me know if any other information helps here. Im lost... Usually i can figure these things out with some research. I have a voltmeter that im going to check resistance on the old 02 sensor tomorrow to see if it was even bad. It barely had any carbon scoring or anything on it. It was actually relatively clean. I live in the midwest and surprisingly the truck is really clean. Like i said, i followed the harness back to the main run and there were no visible breaks or rub marks on any of the wires. The connector looked fine. Ill post what my findings are on the old sensor. Ill probably just go ahead and change both fuses tomorrow also.

I'm pretty sure AC Delco or Denso is the OEM sensor. I don't run Bosch sensor in these trucks.

So you're thinking a faulty sensor? I bought another bosch last night and was going to switch them out. I'm a big believer in OE parts also, just didn't get to a GM dealer to get one.

Thank you for the sound advice. It was totally the Bosch sensor. I compared it to the original and they had the wiring backwards on it. I bought a scanner that reads live data and figured out it was reading nothing. So, i bought an AC Delco and that fixed it. Unfortunately, there are two permanent codes that my scanner will not erase. Is my only option going to the dealer and paying a 1 hour labor charge ($150) or is there a way to circumvent that?? I know on some older vehicles, you could disconnect the battery for a half hour or so and that would essentially reset the computer. Not sure if this is the case with OBDII. Any help would be appreciated!

Give it time and the codes will go away. Permanent codes are always that way. The check engine light will go off but those codes will remain until the computer says that it is no longer an issue. Give it like 20-30 key cycles and they will be gone. Check back in a few days is what I would do.

OE oxygen sensors, every time.  We see problems left and right with aftermarkets, no matter the brand sometimes.  

Typically i stick with OE parts but, lesson learned on this one.

Will do! Thanks!

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
