Sorry to here car is stll ill, I suggest check both G200 and G201, they are buss bar type grounds.Peel plastic box open and look for corrosion. Being you have all these suspension codes, you could have that system checked first or unplug module when it happens again, if it clears up it could be the cause. U codes are caused when modules are not talking and any one of them could be the cause.It can like when your kids are all fighting, and you're trying find out who started it. Its not always the obvious one.Hope it helps

Oh, by the way G200 and 201 are on both A pillars behind step mouldings, thought you may want to know.

JUST AN UP DATE......GOT TO GROUND/BUZZ BOX 300 TODAY (ALL LOOKED EXTRA CLEAN), GOING TO TACKLE GROUNDS 302, AND 306 TOMORROW......THAT WILL FINISH ALL GROUNDS..... SLOWROLL HAS SUGGESTED THE RIM, AND THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME.......SO IF ALL GROUNDS ARE GOOD THAT IS NEXT..... I HAVE FOUND A RIM FOR $215.00 (does that seem reasonable?)......I'LL INSTALL IT MYSELF......IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I SHOULD KNOW, OR DO WITH THIS INSTALLATION?...... OR DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THERE IS A CHECK OR A TEST FOR THIS RIM?
THANKS...............

With a GM tech 2 when condition is occurring look for the non communicating or missing module.
