Cause For These Conditions

  • Condition #1 may be caused by an error in the serial data gateway module (SDGM) microcontroller. The SDGM can retain power but stop communicating on all CAN channels.
  • Condition #1 or #2 could be caused by a SDGM harness with bent, backed out, or loose terminals on the X1 or X2 terminals.

Fix For These Conditions

If a customer is not extremely technically inclined, GM-Trucks.com recommends they take there vehicle to a dealership for repair.

  •  Remove the power feed fuse for the SDGM (F26DL for trucks / F28DL for SUVs). This is a temporary fix and the conditions may return. GM engineering is working for a software correction fix in December 2020.
  • If removing the power feed fuse does not correct the condition, check and repair damaged, loose, or backed out X1 or X2 terminal connectors.
