Yukon's Multiple Electrical Glitches Baffle Mechanics

Had the exact same symptoms on my 2017 Sierra with the 5.3L V8. Unusual warning lights, system glitches, and intermittent malfunctions across multiple control modules really gave me headaches. The root cause turned out to be damaged wiring in the main BUS system connection to the control unit. The OBD-II diagnostics kept showing various error codes because the modules were losing communication with each other out of nowhere. The repair involved replacing the entire wiring harness connector and testing all ground points. This was definitely a serious issue that needed immediate attention, as failing electrical systems can lead to more severe problems or even safety concerns. Since fixing the connection issues, all systems have been working perfectly, no more unusual warning lights, no service required messages, and the engine diagnostics remain clear. The malfunction indicator hasnt appeared since. For your Yukon, Id strongly suggest having the BUS system connections and ground points thoroughly checked. These symptoms almost always point to a communication issue between control modules rather than individual component failures.

Thanks for sharing your experience, I had the same communication problems with my 2018 GMC Yukon. After the repair shop fixed the wiring harness and cleaned all ground connections, the system failure warnings and unusual glitches completely stopped. Just wondering, do you remember the total repair cost for fixing the control module issues? Also, has your vehicle remained trouble-free since the repair or have you noticed any new electrical problems popping up? My check engine light occasionally flickers but goes away quickly.

Really glad your electrical issues got resolved. The repair on my Sierra cost 155 Euro to fix the faulty control unit cable connection to the BUS system. Since the repair, all warning signals and system failure notifications have completely disappeared. The unusual check engine light and OBD-II error codes that used to plague the system are also gone. Worth every cent considering how frustrating those intermittent electrical problems were. The vehicle has been running flawlessly for months now without any service required messages or communication issues between modules. If your check engine light still flickers occasionally, might be worth having the connections checked again just to be safe.

After months of dealing with those annoying electrical gremlins, I finally got my Yukon properly diagnosed and fixed. Took it to a specialized shop that actually knew what they were doing with these complex electrical systems. The mechanic found corroded ground connections and a partially damaged wiring harness that was causing all those unusual warning lights and system failures. Total bill came to 320 Euro for parts and labor, which included replacing the damaged harness section and cleaning all ground points. The malfunction indicator hasnt come back since the repair, and all those unusual electrical glitches completely disappeared. The engine diagnostics are now consistently clear, with no more mysterious error codes popping up. Really relieved to have this sorted, those intermittent issues were driving me crazy. The service required warnings have stopped, and the infotainment system works perfectly now. Definitely worth finding the right shop that could properly diagnose the problem instead of just guessing.
