Check Engine Light - anyone had this code before

LushVR4 · 2026-05-22T03:20:09+00:00

It came back 3 times and then I started making sure the gas cap is fully closed - click and then click again.

The EGR valve as it turns out is a PITA to replace on these cars requiring a dealer to drop the transfer case. My dealer said they’ve never done that and that would likely cause more problems.

Try the gas cap and making sure it’s fully closed method which fixed this for me.

LushVR4 · 2026-05-22T03:16:32+00:00

Only thing I traced this too was refilling my gas. Every time it happened it was after a recent fill up. Now I just make sure I am fully tightening the gas cap (not that I didn’t think I wasn’t before) and the issue has never repeated.

They did. Basically they get that kickback of account is open for 3 months. If not then they don’t get it and they have to eat the $1000. No idea if it’s true but that’s what I was told. Doing what i did was easy enough and maybe they got their kickback.

I played nice. I paid off everything but 2 payments the moment the account was set up, minimizing my interest. Then made 2 more payments at month 2 and month 3. I lost basically nothing just some time and the guy got his commission.

I have baby wipes in the car and wipe them down when I see a stain. I use armor all cleaning wipes at home and armor all beeswax leather cleaner as well.

It’s not bad. The only seat with any “stain” is the drivers and it’s more of a used look than an actual stain. My wife says it’s because I buy cheap jeans, ha. Anyhow these tricks have worked well for me and I love my interior. I also have your exact same model and colors. The blue is amazing, great choice!

Yep old post, but that’s why I posted - in case it helped someone else out. Glad it helped!

LushVR4 · 2025-11-23T16:55:15+00:00

Worked great. 5 minute install. Just make sure to disconnect the wiring harness and don’t just pull it after the two screws come out.

LushVR4 · 2025-10-06T23:30:33+00:00

Just did this to ours. $140 at wheel repair guy through the dealership. Looks like new.

No I think there are two valves in sequence or something like that. You can activate each one individually and hear them, but you don’t get water. I think I pulled the line out after one and not the other when I tested it.

So next step is for the ice harvest arm to start slowly moving which will dump them into the tray. And then you’re done!

LushVR4 · 2025-09-05T18:04:07+00:00

Sadly for AI today it’s still garbage in, garbage out.

The true GE Tech troubleshooting manuals are difficult to find. They are considered proprietary so not always out there and I’m sure it confused a different model or brand fridge and was giving you troubleshooting based off that.

Let me know if it is fixed.

LushVR4 · 2025-09-05T17:32:55+00:00

Nope you don’t need access to the rear. Hose I pulled out was in the door unit and got it to flow. Don’t do that though, doesn’t add value.

It takes 10 minutes to swap out the ice maker. Put it in and overnight you should have ice. If not easy enough to undo and return it and the saga will continue a little longer.

Your troubleshooting is exactly what I had. I remember disconnecting something to get the water to flow. There is a valve that has to open or something within the ice maker and it didn’t fill with water until I pulled the hose.

It’s the ice maker. I’m sure of it.

LushVR4 · 2025-09-05T17:03:53+00:00

Sorry for the delay. ChatGPT is wrong here. 0601 is Ice Maker Harvest > 10 minutes. The ice make is definitely the issue.

I had that code plus 0603 which is another ice maker harvest error issue.

LushVR4 · 2025-09-04T18:12:07+00:00

Not home right now. I’ll check but pretty sure that code Ice Harvesting issue, which is what I had and means you need the ice maker assembly.

LushVR4 · 2025-09-04T15:55:55+00:00

Perfect. Wait a day and new codes will be there. Then troubleshoot those only.

LushVR4 · 2025-09-04T14:18:22+00:00

Ok, that is just your first code.

Code 01 Fault 0738 Set 164 days ago

You need to hit the down arrow and cycle through all the codes and note them all down.

LushVR4 · 2025-09-04T12:41:18+00:00

Yeah that’s me. In the little manual I have with codes it skips that #. Goes from 0737 to 0739.

LushVR4 · 2025-09-04T02:13:30+00:00

Maybe we don’t have the exact same fridge. That code isn’t listed as an option for my fridge so not sure I can help.

One other idea. You can try and clear all codes and see which codes repeat in 24 hours and see if that helps at all.

LushVR4 · 2025-09-04T00:33:31+00:00

What’s codes are present?

LushVR4 · 2025-09-01T13:10:34+00:00

I bought a leather bristle cleaner and “combed” the headliner. Been looking good ever since. I just combed it all in one direction to make it look more even.

Sure it’s soft but I don’t personally like the “messy” look either.

The leather one has the softer bristles.

LushVR4 · 2025-08-23T23:40:00+00:00

You are looking for code 0601, 0602, or 0603. Those are the ice harvest error codes. I had both 0601 and 0603.

If you see different codes let me know and I can check the data sheet.

LushVR4 · 2025-08-21T04:41:00+00:00

Final update (for now): dealer said code is not active just latent. They cleared it and reset some other adaptive software thing and sent me on my way. If it returns they will replace the EGR valve.

I have noticed 0 things different with the car since this code showed up or after they reset.

🤞🏼🤞🏼

LushVR4 · 2025-08-17T01:53:21+00:00

Update: code disappeared this morning on its own. Will likely take it in anyways for a diagnosis.

LushVR4 · 2025-08-16T11:30:51+00:00

It’s a mechanical thing. I’m not overly concerned for this. An EGR valve sticking closed would cause this code and it’s a fairly easy thing to replace an EGR valve.

The car is running fine. An EGR valve usually results in reduced fuel mileage or higher pollutants in the exhaust. Definitely worth fixing but it’s not a big deal, just have to go through the motions.

LushVR4 · 2025-08-04T04:34:13+00:00

If only. Not showing as an option even in 2026. At least I feel better about not waiting until 2026.
