I encourage everyone to spend $20 and get a diagnostic tool. They can relieve a lot of anxiety when the dreaded check engine light comes on. Mine came on today and I was stoked to find out it was just the dumb auxiliary battery that this car shouldn't have in the first place.
Hey Homie! Not only do you make great videos like this one, but have found them for completely different vehicles we own in the past, all super helpful. Please keep it up!!!
Very helpful, thank you! Note, the vent hose was very loose on my replacement battery, it would have fallen out the minute I hit a bump in the road, so I had to use a bit of electrical tape to secure it.
I had the same code and read the battery and it was bad. Changed it and the check engine light is still on. That black tube at the end when job the hole in the back of the battery. Love the video. I would of saved lots of time if I would saw these first.
I got a Auxiliary battery that's in the trunk. I also got a AGM battery later on for the main battery and really holds a good charge and every time I check the charge its always near 90-100% charge. I wouldn't go back to using lead acid batteries anymore.@@chevyssboy89
You need to drive it and test out the start/stop function to see if the check engine light comes back on. The module on top of the main battery won't engage the auxiliary if you just start it up and let it idle. The modules are known to go bad.
Not liking that stop and start feature. I am keeping my 2012 CHEVY MALIBU and cannot believe i was going to trade it in way back in 2016. So glad i didn't
I have a 2012 Malibu 2lt has 185k miles on it I bought a 2015 Malibu LTZ only 77k miles on it right now then bought a 2016 Malibu 2.0 premier I will say the 2012 has been the best so far the 2015 has had quite a few issues with it 2016 been good so far with on 62k miles on it
Got the same code, replaced main battery twice & auxiliary battery once, replaced the battery current sensor and no go, turns right on with a jumper but by itself it won’t crank, any reason why the battery keeps draining?
Great video, forgot to connect the hydrogen hose that was connected to the old battery, it connects to the new battery but in the back. Did the customer come back and complain about the light possibly coming back on?
Your channel is great, both in terms of content and video quality 👍, we really want to work with a professional channel, and hektor is what we're looking for, so it would be our pleasure if we had the opportunity to work with you, (sorry for not finding your email) Can we send our products to you? 😄
I have a 2015 malibu sometimes it will crank you can stop and it would cut off at the light and want start back . The radio want cut off and hen you turn the switch it just makes a click
I went through two batteries in this vehicle. At the parts store I was told that I need 850 cold cranking amps that battery is a big battery which I am not sure will fit. My question will that larger battery fit?
So this same problem happen with me but my small battery positive terminal and ground were loose so I tighten them and cleared the code and was fine for about a month then the check engine light came back with the same code. I'll check to see if they came loose again but if that's not the issue any ideas what I'd be dealing with?
@DaRealMk thanks bro, I ended up replacing both batteries and the fuse box in the end it ended up being the damn secondary battery but atleast I got peace of mind knowing all 3 are new and good
@@Manny-117 I did all 3 on my 2017 Impala LT 2.5L Ecotec and now I'm getting a P0420 code wish me luck lol I'm glad you were able to figure it out though.
Hey, I replaced the aux battery about 2 weeks. The check engine light came back on. Chevy is charging me 130$, if it's coming back on what should I try?
It’s a permanent code I believe. I *think* it has to be reset by a dealer or someone one with a special scan tool that a dealer has, that’s what I was told. Might be some truth to it,I have the same code

Thanks for the info. Didn't know they had 2 batteries.

Update...I did the second part about erasing the codes on and it turned off the check engine light. Thank you very much.
U need to check both batteries & upon 4 key cycles you’ll know if it’s fixed
Thanks for your video. I had the same exact problem on my 2014 malibu and a new battery fixed it. Thanks again!
New auxiliary battery or new main battery??
Which battery did u get
I got a Auxiliary battery that's in the trunk. I also got a AGM battery later on for the main battery and really holds a good charge and every time I check the charge its always near 90-100% charge. I wouldn't go back to using lead acid batteries anymore.@@chevyssboy89
My man! I got the same problem. Just fixed it. 🙌🏼
What was the problem did you need a new battery for the back?
I replaced auxiliary battery check engine light still on???
@@debrabridges1416 erase the codes?

Thanks for the info it was a lot of help. The battery in the trunk was bad.
Appreciate the diagram you showed bro. Never would of know. Thank you
Thanks. Great step by step tutorial. I had the same problem.
Looks like a standard lawn tractor battery (they are a bit more CCA, either 275 or 350). Would be tempted to use that.
Too big, it doesn't fit in the hole. I've tried.

Homey Hektor, Thank you!
Thank you sooo much!!
I like how you talk like a homboy to us, Idk if you get me haha thanks for the video bro

What if both battery checks are good?
Check the fuses then replace the dual battery controller
I have this chingadera issue with my car too lol
como lo arreglaste es la pila de atras oh El conector negative??
Es la pila de atras
Got the same code, replaced main battery twice & auxiliary battery once, replaced the battery current sensor and no go, turns right on with a jumper but by itself it won’t crank, any reason why the battery keeps draining?
iBryan you probably got a parasitic draw on your vehicle.
Homie Hektor what could be an example of it?
iBryan something draining your battery, like a component staying on when it shouldn’t be 👇🏼

Great video
Hahaha
Muy intersante El pinche video
Wassup homes u got a new subscriber
✊🏼👊🏼
Hate that auto stop/ start thing. Just more things to go wrong and break!
Screw that stop/start nonsense. Use manual shift except on the highway.
Great video, forgot to connect the hydrogen hose that was connected to the old battery, it connects to the new battery but in the back. Did the customer come back and complain about the light possibly coming back on?
Customer never went back while I was there 👍🏼
Hey homie this really helps
Hey Homie Hektor can you post the electrical diagrams in this video or the entire TSB??? The new TSB doesn't seem to have a diagram, thanks.
I have Chevy Malibu 2014 I just got it and my engine light came on

What about that black hose +??
As he says, most of the time a P305F turns out to be bad aux battery in the trunk. So check that first.
batteries in the trunk should have an external vent unless they're sealed.
These are AGM batteries.
I have a 2015 malibu sometimes it will crank you can stop and it would cut off at the light and want start back . The radio want cut off and hen you turn the switch it just makes a click
Hey bro i need help ,whit my low headlight beam driver seat dosent want to turn on, me puedes ayudar hermano?
I went through two batteries in this vehicle. At the parts store I was told that I need 850 cold cranking amps that battery is a big battery which I am not sure will fit. My question will that larger battery fit?

Yeah that is how we like it🤣🤣
Avid Diaz Clean and Tight 😎
Have same problem just got both batteries replaced and the modular and light still coming on any suggestions
What about on a 2017 Malibu Lt? It only has 1 battery and I checked all of the connectors and everything checked out ok. Should I replace the battery?
So this same problem happen with me but my small battery positive terminal and ground were loose so I tighten them and cleared the code and was fine for about a month then the check engine light came back with the same code. I'll check to see if they came loose again but if that's not the issue any ideas what I'd be dealing with?
Battery Fuse Box on top of the main battery
@DaRealMk thanks bro, I ended up replacing both batteries and the fuse box in the end it ended up being the damn secondary battery but atleast I got peace of mind knowing all 3 are new and good

Malibu 2018, clear the error stops the cooling clamp
Hey, I replaced the aux battery about 2 weeks. The check engine light came back on. Chevy is charging me 130$, if it's coming back on what should I try?
DOPE ASS VIDEOS ..
I can't seem to find my auxiliary battery in my trunk in my 2016 malibu LS
My comes out with more code but it in the code scanner say that I loss connection to mas chingaderas no bueno!!!! Waht can I do
My 2016 Chevy malibu power shuts off for less than a second hitting 100,000 miles soon
If I get a new battery will the light turn off by itself or do I need a code reader to erase
What does it mean if I changed the auxiliary battery 6 months ago and I still have the p305f code error?
It’s a permanent code I believe. I *think* it has to be reset by a dealer or someone one with a special scan tool that a dealer has, that’s what I was told. Might be some truth to it,I have the same code
I swapped mine today and now my car wont run, the battery is dead wont start or run at all
Dang my car would break if my gas gauge was like that!😁
I have more than one code. If I fixed this one code, will the check engine light turn off?
Macho Blood if they’re both caused by the same fault, it won’t come back. Clear the codes and see what happens.👍🏼
Would this cause a car to stall out?
Hi Homie, my malibu also showing chek engine lights and codes are U0073-00 & P0011-00. Do you know about these codes? Pls help
So i replaced the aux battery and tightened all grounds and im still getting this code and my check engine light is still on. Any more suggestions?
Any Fix? I replace both battery, clean ground and replace module and light is off, but auto start not working.
