Error Code: P0556 / Solution: After 16 days of Service and 9 Months of Ownership.
Hey guys, I figured I should let you know this. For those of you that have an Automatic SS/L99 you may have noticed that your car sometimes randomly pops up with the P0556 Check Engine Light, claiming Brake Booster Sensor Performance. Well the dealer here in San Diego, Courtesy, which has been super good to me just figured it out. It's not the brake booster, or the brakes (but it does cause significant more wear and tear on the brakes) -- This had been an issue for me since I purchased mine April of 10' turns out GM has a fix for this, the lifters on the left side of the engine are too aggressive not only causing your engine to eat oil but to get a lot of excess oil caught in the intake which lead to clogging the brake vacuum line from the engines intake leading to the Check Engine Light... At first they thought its a bad sensor and finally the past three weeks my car had been in service because it was the 3rd time for the same thing a GM Specialist came out and looked at it and noticed my exhaust tips being unusually dark and burned, and he checked the intake and said he literally had to poor oil out of it.
Hopefully this helps all of you out. |

I guess this is where an oil catch can comes in handy?

After 12 years of waiting, I doubt if we'll ever find out.

I mean, I've been to Chevy service departments that I wouldn't let them fix my lawn mower, let alone touch my car.

Yeah right lol. I have had free oil changes from my local dealership in the past that I have thrown out.
