Friday of last week I got the engine icon in the dash with the message to Service The Engine Soon. Took the 2022 PB in Tuesday morning and got it back late yesterday afternoon from the dealer.

The following are the codes recorded by the OBDLink MX-2

Codes: P0430, U0554-00, P0430-00, P0A1E-00
Pending Codes: P0430, P0430-00
Permanent - P0430

Additional Information:
(triangle with ! inside) Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Status ON
Freeze Frame DTC
(Circle with ! Inside) Distance traveled while MIL is activated 16.78 miles
Number of Warm-Ups since DTC's cleared 255

Distance traveled since DTC cleared 10,675.78

The following was on the invoice when I picked it up.

"CEL IS ON

P0430 B2 CAT CONVERTER EFF CODE
P0A1E STARTER GEN CONTROL MODULE

PERFORM TBS 23-2425 PERFORMED SULFER REMOVAL PROCEDURE AND
UPDATE PCM ALONG WITH OTHER REQUIRED MULTI MODULE UPDATES,
USING MIDTRONICS TENDER TO ENSURE HEALTHY BATTERY LIFE. NO
DTCS POST PROGRAMING AND DESULFER PROCEDURE. IF DTCS RETURNS
REPLACE CAT CONVERTER ASSY.
BOTH OF THESE CODES HAVE TSBS FOR UPDATES TO SPECIFIC
MODULES. THESE UPDATES CAN TAKE AN EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME.

PERFORMED DESULFER PROCEDURE AND UPDATES ON MULTIPLE MODULES."

Today I put the OMBLink MX-2 back in. Looked to see if any codes were available now. There were, plus a wrench icon came on. It said the truck needed to be serviced soon. The following were the codes recorded. The wrench didn't go away until I cleared the codes.

"Diagnostics
Confirmed-(triangle w/ ! inside) P0A1E-00 Starter/Generator Control Module.
Pending - (circle w/ ! inside) P0A1E-00 Starter/Generator Control Module

Current - (triangle w/ ! inside) P0A1E-00 Starter/Generator Control Module.

After I cleared the codes I took another short drive. Neither the wrench nor any codes showed up again. So I don't know what's going on. Guess I'll drive it until another icon shows at which time I'll take it to the dealer again.

Has your truck been running as normal?

Has your gas mileage tanked?

Driving home from work today and Service Engine Soon appeared in orange at a stop light. Drove about a mile to a gas station. Pulled over, stopped the truck, checked under the hood and under the truck. Nothing odd. Started it back up, no alerts during remaining eight miles to the house. Dunno, hoping just a computer glitch.

Lots of people are experiencing catalytic converter failures. Be very careful with P0430/P0420. If it gets bad enough you may start getting misfire events (P0300 if i remember right). This may be caused by a buildup of back pressure due to the failed catalytic converter. Others have blown their engines up…like creating a see through block…
Catalytic converters are part of the emissions system and carry a much longer warranty than the basic power train warranty.
