The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.
You may encounter a vehicle with reduced engine power and a SES light on due to DTC P0101 and/or P0106.
The P0101 may be the result of an air filter that is packed with ice or snow. The P0106 may be the result of condensation that has frozen inside of the MAP sensor. The P0106 will only occur in areas with ambient temperatures at or below freezing for a long period of time.
If these DTCs are experienced in warmer climates where ice and snow is not a factor, this PI does not apply.
Complete the SI diagnostics for any DTC or symptom found. If a P0101 is stored and the concern above is experienced, inspect the air filter to determine if it is packed with ice or snow. If a P0106 is stored and the concern above is experienced, inspect the MAP sensor inlet. If there is condensation, water, or an oily substance in the MAP sensor inlet, or if the air filter is packed with ice or snow, perform the suggestions below and evaluate the concern:
Notice: Some 2008 GMT900 Trucks (New Body Style) may be equipped with a combined, one-piece grill and bumper cover.

These vehicles should have the combined, one-piece grill and bumper cover replaced with a one piece grill cover (does not cover the bumper), which is Part # 25822811.
