L5P trouble codes, need help

Hey guys, I’m new here and I’m looking for info. I have a 2018 L5P and It has custom tuning and has for the last 2+ years and 25k+ miles, I was driving the other day and it went into limp mode, it’s throwing 3 codes P0046 U18A2 & U0076. I have the can bus dummy plug and nox sensor plugs on the truck. I have replaced all 4 plugs just for safe measure as I live in northern Wisconsin where the salt gets at everything. I called my tuner and they said it’s not a problem with tuning but the truck. I’m thinking maybe it could be a bad turbo actuator? Or could there be just a broken wire somewhere in the harness for the canbus? My fuel gauge does not work, turbo builds no boost and I don’t have enough fuel pressure to get over 2k rpms. Any help and info would be great! Thanks!

U18A2 is Lost Communication with Fuel Pump Driver Control Module.

 

 U0076 is Control Module Communication Powertrain Sensor CAN Bus Off.

 

P0046 is Turbocharger Boost Control Position Performance.

 

In the schematic, the ECM, turbo VGT actuator, reductant control module, NoX 1 and 2, exhaust particulate filter and fuel pump driver control module are all on the same CANBUS/GMLAN wire network.  The network circuits they all share are circuit 4498 which is a blue wire with brown stripe (GM LAN +), and circuit 4499 which is a white wire (GM LAN - )

 

So if the VGT actuator were bad, it could be breaking the communication chain on that.  You could have an open or shorted wire somewhere on those two circuits also.  So those two wires would need to be properly tested at each component to see if the circuit has full integrity, or if there is a bad spot.

Did you fix it? I’ve was having the same issue since may 2024

 

I found the issue on mine, NOx canbus plug had a bent pin. Straightened it out and fuel gauge came on. Cleared U18A2 code via banks idash. No lights and no fuel issues

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
