2014 Chevy Malibu LS Battery Voltage & Alternator
About 2 weeks ago I drove home from work with
no issues when I turned the car off after parking
and opened the door, I noticed my radio didn't shut
off as normal. So I decided to try and start the car
and It wouldnt start. We disconnected the batteries
and reconnect no change. We used voltage meter
to check all battery mounted fuses, found one that
had blown. Replaced fuse car started right up.
However the check engine light was on and the
screen continued to tell me to service vehicle soon.
Has code read. Said to replace battery. Decided to
have both battery and alternator checked battery
reads good. Alternator reads bad voltage regulator.
Replaced alternator Saturday as well as did an oit
change. Check engine light comes on Monday. Had
code read. Said service engine soon light is on.
Well duh. No help! Decided to check battery and
new alternator. Well battery shows good. New
alternator reads bad voltage regulator. Battery
voltage reading 15.3 this morning, 14.9 yesterday
evening. I'm back to square one. Something is
causing the short. What should I do now?
Replace the battery,the bad alternator damaged it.
I am having the same issue did everything took it for service and everything was fine two months down the road did you find out what was the issue
did you find out what it was? I am having the same issues now
Im having same issue too now. 2013 Chevy Malibu.
I have the same issue with my 2014 Malibu turbo. New battery and next day every shut down. Tomorrow I will take a look at it. I will let everyone know what it is. If you need help with that same car. You can text at 2407043304. I basically did everything with this car. And leaning on the way. Been a mechanic for 10 years never had this many problems with any car bit this one. Every thing is computerized with this car and the snapon scanner cost me out the ass. But it will pin the problem.
your a mechanic and you just figured out cars have computers??? Good luck with that.
Fix the problem the 2014 malibu has a bad ground on the alternator. Every thing was rusted shut. And yes I do have a cumputer and it hooks up to my engine management system. But this is the problem on my side
Had to take the plastic cover off to take that rusty stud out. This is when it was done
All done car is running like it's new
I have a 2014 Chevy Malibu..I’m not sure what’s going on with my car but everytime I be driving my car be kind of shaking like it wants to shut off I Took it to my dealer and he told me it was the battery so I took it to a battery place they say my battery good so to make sure I took it to a auto part store so they can check it they put the scanner on it it said replace battery but when he checked the actual battery it said good so I’m not sure what’s the problem can some one tell me what can be the problem cause I’m confused
