I also agree that modules collecting data from sensors are a key part of it all. Where my view is different is that a "mechanic" (fully understands the mechanical and physical part of the car) can not properly leverage the information from these various sensors due to not having the correct tools to analyze it, nor can they just "work around" them by applying techniques that work when all of these various sensors and computer-controlled components aren't present. Attaching a volt meter to the battery and performing certain tests can uncover -SOME- issues, but there are still many more areas where a voltmeter isn't going to be enough. At the very least, a deep understanding of the various IC's and such that make up the charging circuit are necessary, and more likely actual diagnosis tools and software that can read details out of the various sensors are going to be needed. Even in the case of testing an AGM battery - you can determine that it has failed. But, what caused it? Has the charging circuit been fully analyzed and diagnosed and received a passing grade? Loose ground somewhere in the car? Bad voltage regulator somewhere else? Parasitic draw? And here's the worst case scenario... Is the failed battery related to an INTERMITTENT problem in the car? Those are quite literally impossible to diagnose. |

Not sure if this is right, but it seems like any possible information could help you. I've seen 2 instances of electrical issues on these forums with I think a similar code as you have posted. One of them i think had to do with a slow crank issue. Anyway have your mechanic/dealer tech look at 2 harnesses for damage or moisture issues. The harness above the driver rear wheel and the headlight harnesses. Water can get into those locations and cause issues.

Well after my last mechanics ground 'fix', I brought it to the dealer this time. When it comes to wiring I'd rather let them handle it since they have access to all the TSBs and history of issues with other cars. My mechanic will probably spend another week chasing grounds if I brought it back to him. I dropped it off today and they said they will get around to diagnosing it about mid day tomorrow.

Ya, I was going to ask previously why you didn't take it to the dealer initially. I get the Indy, I use one for some things as well... but when it comes to issues like this, it just seems the dealers are better equipped. |

Being that it seemed like just an alternator issue I preferred bringing it to my mechanic considering my local dealer has given me the run around in the past. Kind of regret it now but you live and you learn.

I have a 2016 ss and was having a similar problem back in November of 2019 slow starts and eventually one day it wouldn’t turn on and in fact started smoking . The thermostat gauge was replaced as it was ruined . Shortly after the starter and battery were replaced . The slow start came back intermittently a few months later but not bad enough to warrant a dealer trip . This week it has gotten bad and I have several videos it takes like a full 10-15 seconds to start and the rpm gauge doesn’t work and stabilitrack error comes up . I’ve noticed that it is worse after driving it for a while and then turning it off then turning it back on . On a side note I will never ever buy a first year model of a car again . So many issues with this 45k car
