Hey what-sup guys! New to the forum but not to GM Vehicles but this has me stumped. First I’ll say, I have searched and searched for these issues and they are all over the board, so I figured I’d start a new thread, if someone seems like this is covered in another topic, link it and I will delete this one. I will add pictures of a couple of the codes it is throwing! 
 

Stock 2014 Silverado 1500 4x4 LT non Z71, no added special packages. 125k miles. When I start the truck I get a Power Steering Assist Limited, Service ABS, and Traction control light. Amongst other things, truck runs like crap, and shifts like crap. Hooked up my neighbors snap on scanner and could not connect to the EBCM, TCM, TCCM, Power steering Control module, and a couple others such as Human Interface etc. along with no lines on the screen while backing up. It says to “center steering wheel” so I’m sure this module isn’t communicating over the GMLAN network. I’m confused by this whole thing, I’m not electrical savvy enough to be a master at it. Before it goes into the dealer next week I want to see what you guys think, I’ve covered the basics, and have read probably 6 hours worth of trial and errors. Things I have checked are as followed..

most popular G218 ground under dash speaker, no insulation so I’m good and it is tight, I’ve checked numerous other popular grounds along frame and door jam pillars,
all fuses are good, battery tests good, cables seem good, Peeled the Loom back under drivers side cab, nothing seems frayed or corroded in the harness looks good, also pulled the driver and passenger kick panels and did the same. I’m seriously hoping it’s not a bunch of modules. I know these 2014s have wiring issues but I’ve never had anything this bad!!! Im more mechanical not electrical! Offer suggestions I’ll let you know if it’s been covered or not I’m sure I’ve left out some stuff. Thanks in advance.

Here are two things you can look at. Have your battery tested and see what shape your battery is in. With all of these extra electronics and computers on cars, once a battery starts going bad, electronic features and computers can start to go haywire.

 

Another thing to check is to look at your negative terminal cable. They are known for failing with our generation. Pull it and make sure that it is okay. If its messed up in anyway, get a new one.

Hey steelerdude15! Thankyou for the advice i unfortunately needed the truck to move and had no choice but to hit the stealership, it ended up being a bad EBCM it wasn’t fully seated and got moisture inside and corroded one of the valves!!! Explains all the issues, it had power, ground and wake up signal (white and dark blue wire!) I’ll leave this thread up in case anyone needs some advice I’ll respond whenever someone comments! Thanks again

That sucks that it was something major, but its good to know that it got fixed and is taken care of.

    • There's some truth to the above, but also, she's selling fullsize trucks and bread/butter CUV's like hotcakes, meanwhile, extracting GM's pickups from the deep discounting sales game.   GM's stock has held its own during her tenure, and the more recent buybacks are delivering cash back to investors and signal confidence in their direction forward. Even with the EV losses.   GM is an example of a modern publicly traded company. The #1 goal of any publicly traded company is to deliver the most value possible to shareholders. Despite being a car company, building the best car isn't GM's path to delivering maximum shareholder value.   McDonalds doesn't make the best burger, or the best coffee.   I've mentioned in another thread, I really don't / won't ever understand Cadillac or Buick in a modern context. Both brands are completely dead to me. I'll cede that the Escalade is a nice SUV, but the brand and nameplate mean nothing to me, and GM will never persuade me to pay north of $170k for a gussied-up Tahoe or Burb. Other people don't mind doing that and that's their purview.   The C8 shares absolutely nothing in common with any other current Chevrolet or Corvette on the market. Since its introduction 8 years ago, it's developed quite the following. It did what other Corvettes couldn't do: reduce the average age of its buyer. GM has something there, and I see them investing in the car. They'd better not mess that up.   We've successfully derailed Grumpy's thread again, but I think this one is meant to be more of a random thought thread so a little wandering is probably OK.
    • Sliding doors ftw   Also, Sienna ftw as well.  The in-laws got a 2024-2025 recently when their 2019 sienna was totaled due to a deer back in June.  They've been getting 38-40mpg on the 65mph highway they live on.
    • Forgot to mention that this started after changing the oil I use mobile 1 full syn with mobile one filter but I did add pro lube additive and was the first time doing so and is making me wonder just can't see why that would matter
    • I apologize for long post put going to try to explain everything. Parts replaced so far: Cam sensor Crank sensor Cam phaser valve Cam phaser solenoid Fuel pump Maf 1 injector Pcm Pdm   So about 2 weeks ago coming off the highway my 2007 yukon xl with the 6.2 stalled and would restart. Had unit towed back to house and I messed around with relays and unit started. Drove it the next day and same thing. Had it towed again. Scanned unit and had code p0300 with misfire data showing mainly cylinder 7 but I know that won't cause a no start. Measure fuel pressure and found only 42 psi replaced pump to have unit stall again and not restart. This time I stayed on back roads and just waited for it to restart about 30 to 60 min. During this time I found I have no injector pulse but have good power at injectors. Started unplugging 1 injector at a time and found when unplugging cylinder 7 pulse came back so i changed injecto and same issue. Turns out unit just happen to ready to start at that time. Scanned into unit and found no reason for the pcm to take away injector pulse so I replaced the pcm and same issue. I figured timing sesnor controlled the injector pulse so I replaced both sensors and while I had the water pump of i replaced the vvt components while i was in there. Read multiple people have luck chaging the maf for this issue so I changed it. Unit still stalls to this day and loses injector pulse on the ground side when it does. Have noticed watching the live data the pcm is request injectors to fire via injector pwm value. I have redone the ground wires at the left bottom of the block knowing this was the ground location for the pcm but still no luck. I am a mechanic by trade but this is having me pull my hair out. If anyone has something to have me check I will gladly im not much of a parts thrower but im about to load the cannon
    • Actually.  Wait.   I just re-read your original post.  Are you talking from INSIDE the truck you have to hit unlock?  Or from the key fob?  I had assumed from the key fob.   IF you are talking the inside unlock button, I assume you are shifting to park and its not unlocking the doors?  If so, that is changed via the settings page in the radio.  Go to SETTINGS, then VEHICLE and then it should be under LOCKS or DOOR LOCKS or something like that.
