1. What does U2427 mean?

For certain U.S. Cadillac LYRIQ and VISTIQ vehicles, U2427 is included in Cadillac bulletin 23-NA-151 diagnostic coverage. The supplied verified evidence does not establish a standalone plain-language definition, driving advice, charging advice, or a specific repair for U2427.

2. Technical explanation

The database canonical text for U2427 is a truncated service-procedure excerpt rather than a confirmed code definition. Bulletin 23-NA-151 includes U2427 among DTCs used in a high-voltage battery diagnostic process. Earlier bulletin versions direct trained technicians to document high-voltage battery surge-tank coolant level and review Battery Energy Control Module high-voltage isolation data. The April 8, 2025 revision states that U2427 was removed from steps 2 and 7 of that service procedure.

3. What system is affected?

High-voltage battery diagnostic process, including the Battery Energy Control Module and high-voltage battery surge tank, as referenced in bulletin 23-NA-151.

4. How serious is this code?

10. Step-by-step troubleshooting

  1. A trained technician may confirm whether U2427 is current or history, where applicable to the bulletin version.
  2. Earlier versions of bulletin 23-NA-151 instruct technicians to visually inspect and document high-voltage battery surge-tank coolant level.
  3. Earlier versions instruct technicians to observe and record Battery Energy Control Module high-voltage isolation data, including most recent isolation resistance for the pack, and Pack 2 if equipped.
  4. The supplied April 2025 bulletin revision says U2427 was removed from steps 2 and 7; follow the current applicable Cadillac service information rather than an older bulletin revision.
