Condition

Some customers may comment on a “Service ESC” or “Service Park Brake” MIL being illuminated.
A technician may find the following DTCs set current or in history: U0125 or U0151. If they
experience the issue prior, the message may not be active and the codes may be in history. The
message and/or the indicator would have shown on the DIC, and disappeared on the next key cycle.
• DTC U0125: Lost Communication With Multi-axis Acceleration Sensor Module
• DTC U0151: Lost Communication with SDM

Cause

The cause of the condition may be an issue with the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM)

Correction

After verifying the DTCs that are present, follow the diagnostics for the code(s). If no issue found,
reprogram the EBCM.

Service Procedure
Note: Stable battery voltage is critical during
programming. Any fluctuation, spiking, over
voltage or loss of voltage will interrupt
programming. Install a GM Authorized
Programming Support Tool to maintain system
voltage. Refer to for further information. If not
available, connect a fully charged 12 V jumper or
booster pack disconnected from the AC voltage
supply. DO NOT connect a battery charger.
1. Verify if the Electronic Brake Control Module
(EBCM) has the latest software available. If the
vehicle does not have the most current level of
software, reprogram the EBCM to the latest
software available. Refer to K17 Electronic
Brake Control Module: Programming and
Setup in SI. If the vehicle has the most current
level of software, refer to SI to perform system
diagnostics.
2. Clear all codes.

3. Referring to SI, run the vehicle under the
conditions for setting the DTC(s).
• If DTC does not reset, return the vehicle to the
customer.
• If DTC resets use SI to continue to diagnose
the issue.

GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these
technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service
of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly
and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have
that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
