A pop sound may be heard under heavy acceleration on some 2021-2022 Encore GX and Trailblazer models equipped with the 1.2L engine (RPO LIH).

In addition, one or more of the following DTCs may be set:

  • ABS U0100 (Lost Communication with Engine Control Module)
  • ABS U0140 (Lost Communication with Body Control Module)
  • ABS U026A (Lost Communication with Frontview Camera Module)
  • ABS C2A07 (Engine Control Module Indicated Torque Interface Failed)
  • BCM U0100 (Lost Communication with Engine Control Module)
  • ABS U0151 (Lost Communication with Restraints Control Module)
  • ABS C0501 (Steering Assist Control Actuator Return Circuit)
  • ABS P0606 (Control Module Processor Performance)
  • ECM U1346 (Engine Control Module LIN Bus 2)
  • ECM U060F (Lost Communication with Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Bank 1)
  • ECM P0102 (Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Circuit Low)
  • ECM P0352 (Ignition Coil 2 Control Circuit)
  • ECM P0300 (Engine Misfire Detected)
  • ECM P0351 (Ignition Coil 1 Control Circuit)
  • ECM P228C (Fuel Pressure Regulator 1 Exceeded Control Limits – Pressure Too Low)
  • ECM P25A2 (Brake System Control Module Requested MIL Illumination)
  • EPS U0415 (Invalid Data Received From Antilock Brake System Control Module)

 

These conditions may be caused by a loose ground located at G106 on the engine. (Fig. 14, Encore GX shown) Tighten the G106 ground nut to specification. No parts are required for this repair.
