Great tutorial. Only place I found it it was O’Reillys like you said. It was $118 and I got $18 back for the core. I just install it today . I will get back to you after I reset the light for the code P305.
I replaced the spark plugs and replaced the accessory battery. My car ran well and then at 72 miles my check engine light blinks and then goes off. Any advice?
Hi Jose. Hey did you ever have to replace the "Dual Battery Control Module"? I think their is a service bulletin on the control module. I am worried that if I just replace the batteries, that it is just a bandaid on the real issue of the control module.
@@ryandickey8345 , Hi Ryan, I apologize for the very late reply. The assessment was for around $1,100.00. We never did replace the dual battery and never took the vehicle back for servicing. The car has since been used for my wife and the car has not broken down after about 1.5 years. It has very low mileage on the vehicle. So I really have to question the assessment from the dealership that I took it to.
Im wondering the same. What's the bcm? I was going to replace the whole component, which is the dual battery control module. But i think maybe change my auxiliary battery first. The first time i gof the p305f code. It drained my main battery. I replaced that. A month goes by and the code and check engine light are back. Some say i should have changed the auxiliary battery than. So i will recharge both batteries than test with my multimeter to see if all volts are 😊
@@JoseGuzm4n okay its weird because, it gave me the code for the aux battery & my check engine light hasn’t gone away. on top of that the auto stop isn’t working at every complete stop.
I have a 2014 Chevy Malibu also. Only 35,000 miles on it. Auto stop start hasn’t been working all the time. Drove it Saturday and it did auto stop start and then check engine light came on. Took it to Chevy dealership and that said aux battery and ground wires. They want 850 dollars to do everything. Is it really that hard to replace the ground wires? Thanks for this video. Def have the same exact problems, but I just have a hard time believing the grounds are messed up with way less then 50,000 miles.
Thank you! I thought that was a complete rip off. 850 dollars for some ground wires and a replacement battery? And of course they will not honor my warranty that I paid an extra 3,000 dollars for. And this won’t mess with the computer either will it? Advanced can erase the codes can’t they?
I have a 2015 same issue..will this work for me? I checked o'Reilly website the one u recommend has 180CCA and mine says 155CCA, will this cause any problems?
Thanks for the quick response!! I'm gonna order it on payday..lol & thanks for this video..I was already talking to the dealership cause oreillys told me they didn't have it & I knew it was gonna be bad.
So i checked the battery in the trunk n it read good. Engine light on n replaced battery under the hood few months ago. Now the car sometimes pulls/jerks while on the gas...i can see the spodemeter jump. But I got the same code as you po3o5 or WHATEVER...do u think its the battery that still needs to b replaced even though thr battery was tested good.
@@JoseGuzm4n yes the light was reset after battery was replaced. Small battery has never been changed out. 116000 miles...battery tested good n if installed\put in the trunk it cannot be returned.
Clarissa Lucas is your car equipped with auto start stop. If so with that mileage you definitely need to change it. Once the load is applied it starts to make the car do weird things das flickering stereo ac and so on. All different scenario but same concept. Change the battery these cars use alot of juice.
jose guzman one last thing my radio doesn’t turn on but everything on the dash works as for the controls for the a/c and etc. is it possible the battery is causing that too? Because I bought a whole new radio.
Bro, I bought new front battery and code was still on, I bought a used aux battery and installed, disconnected the battery like for 20 minutes again and code was gone , that was like 5 days ago, and today code came back on, do you think I need to buy a new aux battery?
jose guzman brother I haven’t bought a new battery because code dissapeared once again but today it came back on, do you think it can be some type of ground or aux battery
If you can’t find a replacement battery locally check Amazon. ( ACDelco AUX12 Professional Automotive AGM JIS 12BS Battery) cost $95. Got it the next day.
So apparently the only place to get them in store is O’Reilly. I tried autozone and the sensor plug is to big for the hole and it’s in the middle where the cable goes instead of on the side.
I have the 2016 Malibu ls Limited and the 'battery saver mode' just came up. I just got the front one replaced , so I know it's not that one. Is the aux batt going bad ? Did it start out like that too on your Malibu???
Tom My check voltage on batteries after car has been off for 1 hour. If it’s below 12 volts on the aux then it’s time to change it because it’s not holding charge. If the front is low too then you might want to check your charging system. On the Malibu once it detects low voltage it goes into battery save mode
Yo Jose! Thanks for the video! Hey, yunno how after you erase the codes and the check engine light goes out...how long do you need to drive your car for it to go through the cycle, so that it's ready for diagnostic testing or an emissions test??
I have a question... The little tube that goes on the side of the battery, I broke it and need to replace it, but I don't know how to replace it or even search it up to order it. I went to O'Reilly's and they have no idea what I'm talking about. Please help! My check engine light won't turn off and I can't pass the smog check with it on. Ayudenme 😔🥺
I took my car to O'Reilly and got my front battery tested they said it was good but it to be charge and than I took to my local dealership and they said I gotta replace my a.c. Delco for new one I go back Saturday to replace it.
How to know if ur battery really went bad..... Ur lights on the inside door panel (if u have them) they don't turn on no more... That's how u know ur battery is bad,
Good job man! Thanks for the info on the type (especially about that hole) and where to get it and how to install it!

Hope it works
@@JoseGuzm4n Thank you. Do I have to reset the code or just drive it until the light goes off?
Reset the code
I replaced the spark plugs and replaced the accessory battery. My car ran well and then at 72 miles my check engine light blinks and then goes off. Any advice?
@@deborahpitts03 check if there are and DTC codes showing on the scanner.
"I don't want to deal with all that shit, I just want a battery" lol. Exactly, thank you for the info.
Thank you so much Jose!!! For sharing your knowledge!!!
Stay blessed!!!
Thank u . I've had my car since 2108 and omg it's the battery issue always I've replace 2 front battery and 1 back so far
Super helpful man thank you, saved me some money
Great video pal, thanks from Nova Scotia Canada

Question I have the same problem going to O Riley’s in a few but did your car make a noise while you drove it as well?
Not that I can remember
did the check light ever come back on? i’m dealing with same exact code on a 2015 impala replaced battery but cel still on
I erased the light afterwards and never came back

Is it alright to drive the car with that battery not working or is it something the needs to be taken care of fairly quick
Take care of it. Before it does not turn on
jose guzman As in the car won’t turn on anymore?
I never have changed this battery before, do I have to unplug or turn something off in order to not be shocked?
Nope just disconnect it and your set
So i checked the battery in the trunk n it read good. Engine light on n replaced battery under the hood few months ago.

jose guzman thanks for responding so fast as well
Gregory King that I don’t know but low battery or bad will cause certain things to stop working like ac windows low volume on stereo
jose guzman okay well I’ll charge it and find out thanks bro
Next go to pep boys bro 👍🏼
Bro thanks for this video 👍 this was exactly what I was looking for. Great job👍 o Riley here I go.
How is the car now? Did the light come back on?
No all is good. Hope it works for you.
guzman bro what cain of front battery you have AMG h8 por que I think I got the wrong one k8
Daniel Villalobos yes AMG H8 group 49 900cca
Bro, I bought new front battery and code was still on, I bought a used aux battery and installed, disconnected the battery like for 20 minutes again and code was gone , that was like 5 days ago, and today code came back on, do you think I need to buy a new aux battery?
Bebo Gc get it tested, but yea new battery recommend once it drops to certain voltage
Code comes on
jose guzman brother I haven’t bought a new battery because code dissapeared once again but today it came back on, do you think it can be some type of ground or aux battery
Man the same problem going with mines I check all the wires

Same here did my search only spot is the big O
Is this common in these cars?
based on the comments
You ever have weird shifting problems?
@JEJUAN PRYOR no I have not.
Transmission fuild needs to be changed out
1sikGSXR 07 that was already changed out and was still having problems. But I traded the car in
@Paul Aguilar how meny miles do you have
@Paul Aguilar have you done a transmission flush on it ??
I took the small battery to autozone to test it out and it turned out good. I had already replaced the front battery and the code is still on.
Did you check the ground connections i mentioned?
@@JoseGuzm4n I will check that out, thanks man.
Zalo did you solved the problem? Did you find a bad ground or pinched harness?
@@zaloalvarez6947 did that work out for you

At least 50 miles
So it was actually that small battery and i drove it for a few hours
Thank you for this video! This is exactly the problem i have. Any idea how many miles you can drive before getting it replaced?
You still can keep going bir the auto start will kot work and check engine light will come on
jose guzman Preciate that! 👍🏽
Thanks for the video bro!
So it won't start at all if the back battery go bad
I've bought a new battery and light came back on I don't think it's simply replacing the aux battery
I have a question...
The little tube that goes on the side of the battery, I broke it and need to replace it, but I don't know how to replace it or even search it up to order it. I went to O'Reilly's and they have no idea what I'm talking about. Please help! My check engine light won't turn off and I can't pass the smog check with it on.

Did you break the plastic elbow or the tube?
So the car doesnt have to be reprogrammed once replaced huh?
No

Did light actually go you should a follow up video
Driven 2k plus miles and all is good.
What happen if the battery doesnt have a hole?
Battery fumes will be released in the trunk and will have a strong acid odor.
@@JoseGuzm4n in my country doesnt exist with the hole hahahahahaha im so fuck XD
Jorge Ramses Reyes Armenta where are u from
@@JoseGuzm4n mexico bro hahahaha
@@JoseGuzm4n if the battery isn't vented, will it cause the check engine light to come on?
What’s the name of the battery 🔋?
Ever start
What does this batter power??
Power all interior components when car auto stops. Like ac fan, radio, windows etc.
Ok thanks man appreciate it. Just wanted to confirm.
How to know if ur battery really went bad.....
Ur lights on the inside door panel (if u have them) they don't turn on no more... That's how u know ur battery is bad,
