Picked up my brand new truck on 7/9/22 with 8 miles on it. Drove it that day, normal conservative driving on pretty flat roads. Outside temperature that day was around 100 degrees. At about 30 miles on the odometer, the clutch fan kicks in which was pretty loud. Engine temp was at 210, no problem. At that time I didn't know how to pull up the transmission temp so I don't know what it was. I drove straight home and when backing into the garage I hear the dash dinging and I see "Transmission Hot Idle Engine" warning which I found out will appear if the Trans temp reaches 260 for 5 seconds or more. Took it in, they couldn't replicate the issue or find any problems. The next weekend I had about 120 mile trip (not towing) with mostly flat driving and the trans temp reached 232. My brother in his 2020 Silverado 2500HD Duramax was double towing (5th wheel and Razor) up large hills got up to 160-175 degrees. I'm frustrated and hesitant to tow anything with the way my truck is acting. The service department acts puzzled and not sure what to do. It is actually there right now being looked at. Wondered if anyone else has experienced these kind of issues or has any ideas.

My gauge barely moves whether towing or not with my 21 DMAX 

About what temp is it typically at?

The low quarter. I'm not near it right now so I can't tell you the exact Celsius figure.

Have the same diesel truck, same model and year. Picked it up 7/18/22. Drove 500 miles over two days, keeping the speed under 55 and varying the speed as recommended for diesel engine break in. Outside temps up to 102 degrees. No warnings. Diesel engine break-in guidelines say not to tow until after the first 500 miles of variable speed / under 55 MPH driving.

My 2020 rarely goes above 150 not towing, and not much more even with a trailer.  Sounds like a blockage in transmission cooler.

Any update?

It is coming up on 2 months now that I have had my new truck and I am still having the same issues. The dealership said they believe it is a bad sensor which is on back order with no estimated delivery date. It has been three to four weeks ago that they said that. Meanwhile, I cannot use the truck for the purposes I purchased it for. I can't tow with it or it will go into limp mode and I will be stuck somewhere. My frustration is that GM puts out thousands of trucks per week with these sensors and I can't get one shipped to me to fix my truck. I have contacted GM directly which has not helped getting the sensor here any faster. I am very frustrated.

Rockauto has a 1 day shipping delay, but for $6.71, I would buy it and have dealer install. OEM GM.

 

Maybe dealer would reimburse or offer a oil change.

Well, this is very interesting, thank you for sharing this. I got on Rockauto's website and put it in my cart and it said that I could have it by Sept. 12th. I called the dealership service manager that I've been working with. He verified the part number with me and it was correct. He said he is not authorized to shop 3rd party parts companies and relies on GM for parts. I asked if I could order it and bring it in and he said he would not be authorized to put it in unless it comes from GM. He is going to have his parts manager research and find out why GM is releasing parts to 3rd party companies over dealerships and it that is the case he said they would be very upset. So, I am waiting to hear back on what they find out. Thanks again for sharing this information with me.

That definitely complicates the issue. It did get me curious so I randomly checked some of the various gm parts websites, like gmpartsdirect.com, and they all have that sensor in stock. If I was in your position I'd be seriously frustrated. GM owns ACDelco and can't provide the part while 3rd parties appear to have no issues keeping those same parts in stock. Plus they won't honor warranty work unless the part is sourced from GM.

While I was starting to read your post I got a call from the dealership. The service manager said when he went to speak to the parts manager that they had miraculously received a FedEx package last night with the part and they hadn't had time to process it in yet. I can take my truck in tomorrow to have it installed. What horrible communication between the dealership and GM. Two days ago they told me it would be Oct/Nov before they could get it in. Something is screwy in their system. I'm crossing my fingers that this is the fix for my issues. They didn't sound 100% sure.

Update: The dealership installed the new Transmission fluid temperature sensor on Friday, September 2nd. I drove the truck and within about 30-40 miles the temperature was up to 252 degrees. I was not towing or driving aggressively. Obviously the sensor was not the problem. Not sure what the next step is in trying to figure this out.

    • Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package. 
    • So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.  
    • Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?  
    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.
