So I had my 2023 GMC Sierra 3.0 Duramax (25,000 current miles) at the dealership for an under warranty DEF tank problem. They ordered a DEF tank assembly for me and it should arrive in about 6 weeks. Anyway I picked it up and drove it a mile or so and saw the check engine light was on. Did a U turn and brought it back to the dealership for them to look at. They said the check engine light was on because 2 modules were not talking to each other and they have never seen that before. Cleared the code and said I should be good to go.

Then Onstar sent me an email stating it was a P00C7 code and gave me this:

The Engine and Transmission System is not performing as expected. An issue has been detected in the Air Induction System which monitors and controls air intake to the engine. If the check engine light is flashing, a misfire condition has been detected. A misfire increases vehicle emissions and could damage the emission control system on the vehicle. Please reduce vehicle speed, avoid hard accelerations, avoid steep uphill grades, and reduce any cargo loads such as a trailer.

Does that sound right to you people?
 
DTC P00C7
Intake Air Pressure Measurement System - Multiple Sensors Not Plausible




Conditions for running the DTC....
  • P00C7

  • DTC P0106-P0108, P0237, P0238, P2227-P2230, P2610 = Not set
  • DTC P0107, P0108, P0237, P0238, P2228, P2229 = Not pending
  • Barometric Pressure Sensor = 50 to 115 kPa (7.3 to 16.7 PSI)
  • Barometric Pressure Sensor 2 = 50 to 115 kPa (7.3 to 16.7 PSI)
  • Engine = Not Running
  • Ignition and Start Signal = Greater than 11 V
  • Manifold Absolute Pressure — = 50 to 115 kPa (7.3 to 16.7 PSI)
  • Time between current ignition cycle and the last time the engine was running = Greater than 5 s



Conditions for setting the DTC.....

The following scan tool parameters are not within a calibrated range of the calculated air flow:

  • Barometric Pressure Sensor
  • Barometric Pressure Sensor 2
  • Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor




This system consists of the following components:

  • B65 Intake Manifold Pressure and Air Temperature Sensor
  • B75 Mass Air Flow Sensor — Barometric Pressure Sensor 2
  • K20 Engine Control Module — Barometric Pressure Sensor


Wait 'til the DTC returns before performing any diagnostics.
 
Do you think this code might pop up because they disconnected the battery while working on the DEF tank and after they were done things were just syncing up again?
