I bought this 2020 new and today I had it in for a check engine light P04FB. Two things; the dealer says the error is because of moisture but there is no fix for it, and it is labor intensive. So, when I'm out of warranty I will have to pay for the labor when they get a fix.

2nd thing. There is something plugged into my data port, not the OBD 2, and no one can tell what is it, except that is is not a chevy device. The dealer i bought it from said maybe after market steps. I bought this new with 256 miles on it. Can anyone tell me what might be plugged in there?

I had time to crawl in there and take a look. It is not a device. It is just an extender or adapter to the ODBD 2 connector. Not sure what the mechanic was thinking, without looking a little closer at the cable. It is unbolted from the bracket, but they may have done that when I had it for a tailgate sensor issue.
