Timothy Horne My Pleasure! Thanks
Very impressed with your diagnosis. Well done easy to understand and has solved our problem on a 2016 LTD Malibu that failed twice stop start on a freeway - VERY dangerous place to have failed.
Richard Cook Thank you! I'm glad to hear that the video was helpful
Thank you, incredible that such a small piece caused so much trouble, I no longer knew if it was my alternator or if they tricked me with the battery, thank you, excellent video
@davideduardomolinadiaz2478 My Pleasure!
Thanks st… been having this problem for a while.. my car doesn’t start like once a month up until I jump it.. and then is ok for a little while…then does it again… I realized that turning the ac/heat all the way up also bypass the DBCM sometimes when the autostop “starts to feel weak.”
Man wish I knew this before I bought 2 batteries and 2 alterations. Thanks

@@johnnyyancy6999 Sounds good!
So I changed both batteries and also the battery module and nothing and at the end it was Fuse #18 battery isolator. Is locate it under the hood fuse box next to the main battery open it and replace fuse 18 you can use the fuse at spot 57 which is a spare.
@flako7745 Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repairhello and thank you for the video. I understand voltage drop, my question is what source did you use to diagnose this system? Do you use Alldata or some wire schematic app? Thx again!
Fantastic video. Love how you work. Thx

I have the same exact code on my 2014 malibu… what did u fix
@@chevyssboy89 I bought the G1 Block ASM-Fuse.. I don’t know if 2015 and 2014 Malibu are the same.. Dual battery control module that sit on the positive terminal. The whole black structure.. Hope that helps..
Hi, where did you find the part?
@@MizzIcy I bought it at the Chevy dealership.
good diagnosis and straight to the point; short and sweet. thanks for sharing. i wonder if you can do a video about the starting and charging wiring diagram for 2015 chevy malibu 2.5L LT. I have the diagram but I have no clue how to interpret it from the ignition to the control modules, starter and battery etc. could you do a video explaining how it works? thanks
@paolino8941 Good suggestion! I will putt on my list of upcoming videos!
Thanks brother!!!, I have a similar problem and I didn't know what the problem was.

James Moore My PLEASURE!
Awesome fix!!
keith W Thank you!!
Very helpful thank you. Mine caught on fire by the DBCM harness don't know why pretty scary
Bobby Likens Really?? dang! that must been scary, the positive terminal probably touched ground
Could it be the the starter that is bad. I changed out the Fuse Distribution block and rewired the DBMC connection it was melted pretty bad.now all it does is click. Twice when you turn the key over. The voltage on my dash is at 11.9v thanks for you response.
@@bobbylikens5649 check voltage drop on the starter B+ wire...also make sure the starter solenoid is getting the signal when the key is turned to the start position
Mines melted the dbcm , can I only change that block or I have to buy the whole piece?
@@deaundrajones7656 I think you have to buy the whole assembly, you can call your local dealership and find out...

Awesome Job in finding problem 👏 👌 👍🏻 😀
@bonitahedgepeth4180 Thank you!
I am having a p305f code the dealership wanted over 700 to fix it but decided i would do it on my own. The car starts but the whole car fully resets when the stop/start engages while im out driving. Also the power im getting from acceleration is very slow idk if that is connected to this but i will be getting my part soon and installing it. Thanks for the help and ill keep you updated!

@@8power0 yes that's true, its definitely the future, we will not stop learning lol
once I get all the equipment I will start making some programming videos
Great video! Exactly the same problem I have. Quick question. Where did you buy the new part? I’m having trouble finding it. Thanks!
@treyglaze3 Thanks! I got my module from my locale Chevy Dealer
Great video
John Cizmadia Thank you!!!
You know, I just received your video. And I know your voltage dropped as I had the same problem.2 yrs ago. When I finally got my key out. I looked at the cut part of key. I saw how much dirt was in the key for the ignition . I sprayed it with GM jigaloo and washed the key and ignition with the jigaloo spray. Never had a problem since. May not be related or I may have prevented it from becoming one
marc ravey Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
Great work
Only1Dezzy Thank you!
Your video is helpful thanks :)
I am having the same issue in my chevy2014,
checked battery-good condition
Checked grounding wires- good condition
I am just unable to catch that which relay you said to swap? Double batteries? Or else ?

Ralph Johnson My Pleasure!!!
Hey good morning where did you order your part from? Thanks
@@ralphjohnson7822 I got the part from my Local Chevy Dealer
Para los que no entienden ingles este man descubrio que el problema es el modulo que controla las dos baterias, el problema es que el carro a veces no arranca y si le pasas corriente si arranca por algun tiempo, el modulo se consigue en amazon o en la agencia, se llama DBCM. En los comentarios dice que ese modulo se quema muy facil y que hay que buscar la causa que es lo que lo quema.. a veces se quema inmediatamente luego de cambiarlo, es importante checar que no este flojo ningun cable de el arness antes de cambiarlo..
Benjamin Rivera I'm sorry. I didn't understand the comment!!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair he translated everything you said for people that don't understand English!!
@@JuanCastillo-jh3vf oh that's awesome!! Thanks!
What was your reading on the auxiliary battery? Did you check that one too before you get the diagnosed?
Pepe Magallanes the auxiliary battery was good!!
Holy fuck thank you!!!!!!! I was trying to find away to diag this module for day and couldnt find nothing on shopkey for the life of me!!!!
@robertbrisk9382 My Pleasure!
it just had a blown fuse.circuit was back feeding into module connection causing it to read 9 volts . By replacing this control module he replaced the fuse that was in it.
@born2wrench Great!
great!
@DavidGutierrez-zi4dy Thank you!
Buenas
..una pregunta este dual battery control module....se necesita programarlo. Con la calibricion correcta?
Thanks, where do I order the part. And did you disconnect the start stop connection under hood.
Mr. Showtime aka The Great One you can get this part from your local chevy dealer!
Hello, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, it is very illustrative, please can you help me, I have a Malibu 2013 2.5lts automatic, it gives me the P0700 generic error from the box almost a year ago it started to fail and just by isolating it or I taped the connector that goes to the box and for about 6 months it did not give me any problems, suddenly the box started to have problems, you accelerate and the engine does not respond or it makes changes out of time, I saw that the cable that goes to the chassis The motor had an intermittence, I checked it with the multimeter, I put a new ground cable from the motor to the chassis or battery, it worked correctly for a week and one day in the morning it started to fail, please can you help me or guide me to fix it and taking advantage of it, you can tell me where the second battery that the car has is to know its location. Thank you very much in advance and greetings from Mexico
@ramsesar2289 it sounds like you have a wiring issue, I recommend you take it to a pro mechanic who can diagnose it for you, the auxiliary battery is in the trunk, check it's connections!
Did the new DBCM need to be reprogrammed? Or just replace and when you start it will reset it?
Mike McKee No. it doesn't need to be reprogrammed, just plug and play!!
QUE BIEN
ELKIN MARTINEZ you're welcome!
Had the same exact problem
Richard Rosa Oh really! I hope this video was helpful
Teaching people the reason for voltage drop is one the best electrical test they can use, It's great. Plus, use dielectric grease on clean connectors and fuses protects them from moisture and oxidation over time is a great practice. You can buy it at home improvement stores for $6 Joe 2022 money as well as parts stores sell the same brand, size for $9-$11. (Sorry for misspellings or missing words as 6'3" big fingers on little phone. Who designed this?)
DK. ASE Master Tech since 78.
Dean Kay Thanks for your input I appreciate it!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair I hate the idea of "Stop - Start" tech as a guy who grew up during a time, we rebuilt everything. 4 banger stops, wears at two spots on the flex plate, then starter wear. Oh, the add a 960CCA battery, come on! Motorcycle battery in trunk. All for what, an extra 0.28 higher MPG.
Unlike trucks, if I still had access again to dealer schematics, I would find the ground input, like trucks, to abort off / re-start request. This is my wife's car and it took 40+ to teach her to listen to odd noises. Loud stereos sells lots of parts!

@@deankay4434 Lol! Gotcha! they say that system is good for emission control and fuel economy!
I have a code of P305F on chevy malibu 2015 and I changed the front battery and the auxiliary battery in the back. And the code went a away for a while and came back on I don’t know if it’s the dual battery control module that needs to be replaced what do you think? And now all of a sudden I got a battery saver active light that came on and the next day a new code came on and it’s a P058D. (Battery monitor module voltage monitoring performance) so now I have both codes any reason why you think I have these codes? and by the way I the change the alternator 2 times thinking that was the reason my battery not staying charged. So not sure what I should do. And now every time I turn my car on it says service vehicle soon. Please help
GuttaRicanGaming your battery module could be going bad, check the battery wires and make sure there is no voltage drops, and also check the power wire and ground wire at the battery module...
Hey Man. I’m having a similar issue with my 2015 Malibu. I have power when key is turned on. The engine just barely turns over like batt is low. Bat has plenty of juice. Could this bat control module cause this issue? The cat was starting and running fine day before this condition developed. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. TY so much
@rh9721 Check your starter motor or your starter wiring, also make sure your engine is not locked!
Do you have to do any programming at all after installation or is it plug n play?
Ha ES No programming needed just plug and play!
I know this is an older video. I am having the same type of issues. If it really is the module. How would I locate this specific piece and where do I order it from? Would greatly appreciate your further assistance
Logan Murphy you can get it from your local chevy dealer!
❤😮
@phamuchuynguyen7921 Thanks!
Thank you just left my sons house
Richard Rosa My Pleasure!
My dealer wasn’t familiar with a dual battery control module. Would it be called the battery distribution engine control block?
Tiffanie Harper No! You can tell them battery module and see what they say!!
having the same problem with my 2016 chevy malibu gonna try this when i get off work crossing my fingers 😭
tima Good luck with your vehicle!
I have a Cruze.....2014 LT 1.4 Turbo but it looks very similar and I am having the same issue
@ele8019please you might have the same problem!
Which post do you hook negative to, also if the battery in trunk is dead will that keep car from starting
Marcus Dorn no! not at all
Question- What would be the consequence(s) of simply leaving a jumper on those two terminals for an extended period?
believeinheroes as long as it's positive to positive you should be fine!!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair thanks for info and the quick reply!

BookiesG I got this Part from my local chevy Dealership!
I'm getting a P058B error code which is a faulty battery sensor module is this similar to what happened here?
TooLate yes! but the sensor needs to be checked first
I had a question . When you replace the dual-battery module did you have to have it programmed or did it just plug in and work
Charles Legg No Programming required, Just plug and play
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair thanks for confirming. That's what I thought. I watched a few videos and read a few articles and no one mentioned it.. the dealer is either mistaken or shade telling me it had to.
@@ProwlersPit My Pleasure!
@ProwlersPit it's called a stealership for a reason do your own repairs unless you're 100% confirmed your repair is covered under warranty !
My key is stuck in the ignition right now. My battery is fine & I changed the auxiliary one last month. I think my DBCM is bad, if I change it will my key come out after?
GloryBoyzMxsic2 yes I believe so, if that's the only problem you got!!
The replacement I bought for mine looks nothing like that.. did they make a new version?
Elizabeth Garcia I'm not sure if they updated the module... Call your local Chevy dealer and ask
My check engine light is on and my battery hasn’t been able to hold a charge I’ve replace it and my alternator twice at this point. I did go to autozone and I got an error code referring to my dual battery module will replacing it fix my problems?
Chris Grant you should have it diagnosed by a pro mechanic!!
Are you located in Southern California? Maybe in the North County of Southern California?
Mike Atiga No! I'm located in Dickerson MD
Good afternoon, I am installing the dual battery control module. My question is The 4 connectors you say it doesn't matter as long as they are lined up. I noticed that three of them have numbers 1 2 and 3. When I removed them the numbers were not in order. Do certain ones have to line up with the different spots, I am a 68 year old female I know I got this but the four connectors have me concerned do not want to blow it. Please help!
Roberta Brandenburg you can mark the connectors before you remove that can help, or make sure you keep all the wire lined up before you remove them!! I hope that helps Good Luck!! you can do it!!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair Thank you! I noticed on the DBM that there are numbers 1 2 and 3 the third is blank so I was able to line them up correctly. Love your video and all is great!
@@robertabrandenburg4241 that's great, I'm glad you were able to figure it out!!

@luckygirl1563 Check the fuses under the hood!
Hello my frien. Could a bed DBCM cause the 12V primary battery not to charge? Or is there another module that controls the primary battery charge?
J R Murillo it could!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair although I don't have any voltage drops, mine starts right up, but 12 volts start dropping right away because it doesn't charge it just drains in no time because of the accessories and car dies out
