Wife drove across town (in the rain) in our 2015 Yukon XL Denali and after getting gas, made it about 1/4 mile, stopped at a light, then began to feel a vibration, and check engine light started flashing.  She made it home, I scanned it and came up with the above codes. 

I fired it up, cleared the codes, then the miss started again.  We've got just under 120k on this thing.  Are we thinking injector #2?  Appreciate any insight!

What are the Possible Causes of the Code P2150 Chevrolet?

  • Faulty Fuel Injector 2
  • Fuel Injector 2 harness is open or shorted
  • Fuel Injector 2 circuit poor electrical connection
  • Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM)

 

The Engine Control Module (ECM) supplies voltage to each fuel injector on the high control circuits. The ECM energizes each fuel injector by grounding the low control circuit of the fuel injector. The ECM monitors the status of the fuel injector circuits. When a fuel injector circuit condition is detected by the ECM, the affected fuel injector(s) is disabled. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set when the ECM detects the fuel injector high voltage supply circuit is shorted to ground for greater than 2 s.

This may not solve the issue, but have you run any fuel system cleaners through the system? There could be sediment built up on the injectors. I’d try that first to see if it fixes the issue.

Thanks @steelerdude15 and @rav3 for taking the time to respond.  I drove it over to a friend's to hook up to his scanner, and although the check engine light was on, it was fine until it got to temp, then a dead hole, flashing check engine light, and traction control light.  Cylinder 2 misfires were incrementing, so sounds electrical.  Going to pull the intake and try and locate some injectors tomorrow, inspecting the injector harnesses while it's apart, and cleaning the intake while it's off.  

I reminded the wife we should've pulled the trigger on that 02 SS camaro I found for my soon-to-be-licensed son.  We could've had a backup car other than my 67 in this rain! 😉

Thanks again guys.

Tonight, we removed the intake, fuel lines, one rail and set of injectors.  I ordered new OEM injectors, fuel rails, high pressure fuel line, and injector harnesses since I'd rather not open this thing up again if I can avoid it.  Since this is a 2015, there are no small boots and the end of the damn injectors were nearly seized to the head, so I ordered two seal kits from GM also.  PB blaster certainly helps to loosen things up, but this job is miserable, especially when it's the wife's car. 😉

Keep us posted after the repair is complete. I'm certain you're not the only one to perform this type of maintenance on their GM engine.

Keep in mind that you need a special tool for the PTFE seals of the injectors.

And pay attention to not bend the fuel line, even with the special tools it was a hard task to get this rail off.

If OP is getting new injectors, the seals are already installed on them.

Well, we got the injectors swapped with new rails, high pressure lines, both injection harnesses, and intake gaskets... No more misfires, but, the dreaded P219A and P219B now.  Seems to drive fine, but after a couple of drive cycles, both DTCs pop up.

Got a new purge valve (it came with a bolt), inspected the end of the hose, and reset codes.  Now after two drive cycles I've got P219B.  I may need to bust out HP Tuners and reset fuel trims after all the nonsense.

HAHAHA that's what I'm saying.  Reset fuel trims, still get random P219A and/or P219B.  Injector balancing is off, so I can nearly guarantee you these are fake GM injectors (they look and feel legit).  Ordered rail removal tools, and 8 genuine GM injectors from rockauto along with another set of replacement fuel lines.  We'll give it another go next week I guess.

I’ve been kinda following this thread. The thing that keeps popping into my head is did anyone check for bad gas. After all one the first sentences was. After my wife got gas. I’ve gotten bad gas and fuel before. The vehicles were old enough that I just dumped the fuel added cleaner. And it cleared up. I figured it was obvious enough that it was the first thing checked. I must have just missed it.

Continue to keep us updated. I applaud you for doing this work yourself. I wouldn't dare trying to do this type of work on my 2018. Naturally, things would snowball out of control for me. This is how things roll for me.

    • Yeah I don’t leave ANYTHING just sitting supposedly maintaining my battery on a vehicle or RV for multiday periods. I connect a charger as needed to provide a full charge, then disconnect it and either monitor the battery or follow a set schedule for periodic charging. 
    • Get the 5.3. I`m not a Ford guy.😉   I think these L84`s are less problematic than the L83`s. Certainly less than the L87.
    • I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John
    • One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...
    • 'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.
