Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Spark owners report experiencing computer module malfunctions, including issues with the Engine Control Module (ECM), which acts as the vehicle's brain. Common fault codes such as P0700 indicate self-test malfunctions within the ECM, while the U0100 code signals a loss of communication between the ECM/PCM and other control modules. Additionally, problems with the ignition module can lead to performance issues, including misfires, hesitation, and engine stalling. Certain transmission models, specifically RPOs M4M and MR8, have also been associated with transmission issues in specific year models of the Chevrolet Spark. Furthermore, some owners have encountered computer glitches affecting the air conditioning system, necessitating resets by dealerships. It is crucial for owners to address these issues promptly to maintain the vehicle's proper functioning.
