2018 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3L: U101, P0700, and P0634 Diagnostic Codes Explained
My 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 5.3L engine is showing three OBD-II diagnostic codes: U101 (Lost communication with Transmission Control Module), P0700 (Transmission Control System MIL Request), and P0634 (PCM/ECM/TCM Internal Temperature Too High). I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting, as the symptoms seem related. These codes could indicate a communication issue between modules or an internal temperature fault in the powertrain control system. Any guidance on how to diagnose or resolve these issues would be greatly appreciated.
