Certain units of the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq and 2024 Cadillac Lyriq are included in a new Service Update from General Motors, which covers a fix for a battery energy control module issue.
Affected vehicles may have a diagnostic trouble code or DTC set as a result of a software defect in the battery energy control module. The service update, number N232429880, instructs qualified GM dealership service technicians to reprogram the module in affected Cadillac Lyriq units as a correction to the problem, a process that requires no components.
The fix is offered until the end of the new vehicle limited warranty period for affected Cadillac Lyriq crossovers. The exact number affected is unclear at this point, though some GMC Hummer EV and BrightDrop Zevo 600 units are also affected.
As a reminder, pricing for the all-electric luxury crossover – first revealed by GM Authority – starts at $58,590 for the base Tech trim with RWD and goes as high as $74,590 for the range-topping Sport 3 variant with AWD. These prices include the destination freight charge.
Motivation is supplied to the RWD configuration of the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq by one motor on the rear axle, rated at 340 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. For the AWD variant of the EV crossover, two electric motors are equipped as standard, one each on the front and rear axles, supplying a combined 500 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque.
GM’s Ultium battery and Ultium Drive motor technologies provide power and propulsion to both setups. The range of the RWD variant is slightly longer at 314 miles on a full charge, while a full charge is enough to last the AWD version for 307 miles.
Under the body panels, the Cadillac Lyriq is supported by the GM BEV3 platform. Production is currently under way at the GM Spring Hill plant in Tennessee.

You’re going to have to drop your prices for the middle trim level to around$55,000 ((before tax rebates) before you see the Lyriq sales meter moving up.
The only quarter that wasn’t clearly supply constrained saw 3,820 sales – about one in ten Cadillacs sold, and all indications are that this quarter will beat that handily. There were 2,145 registrations in January alone, and executives have been saying sales are now more like 16% of the brand volume.
I purchased a 2023 Bolt EUV Premier, and people always ask “Why didn’t you just buy a Tesla model 3?” I simply tell them it’s because I spent less money and have more options than the base model 3 had (at that time) and I didn’t need more than what the Bolt offered. Price had a bit to do with that as well.
What’s with GM and this persistent problems with BECMs? I thought the issues with BECMs ended with the 2nd gen Volts. Why are we still having this problem?
I had to go to a different dealership because mine lost their franchise. They took the buy out, because their Cadillac customers were few and far between.
And of course GM wanted a 1/2 million dollar investment from their dealers for the electric platform. Not happening.
