2016 Chevy Equinox Problem

Car went haywire for no reason. Starter kept sticking and the electrical system kept reporting errors.

[@antoniofranqui5258]

My same issues were cause by a 4 year old battery. what was different, car always started fine but after a few miles errors began to be triggered. I cleared and they would return. These vehicles rely on the battery for stable voltage during immediate power demand surges. Much like a UPS power supply for your PC. If the voltage drops error codes are recorded, low power mode can even be triggered since sensor voltages can be out of range. Another common issue is the ground leads. All ground contact points & cable lugs must be clean and free of corrosion. Bad grounds can cause damaged sensors and devices in the vehicle. Good luck everyone hope this helps some of you.

Replica battery and check Power steering.

I had the same problem three days ago in the morning on my 2015 Equinox. it become a battery issue. Changed a new battery the day after. all notifications are gone, it starts as usual & runs perfect for the last 2/3 days.

[@mauriciorosas7578]

Damn I just ran into the same problem, going to swap out the battery hopefully that's it.🙏

[@expatinbrazil]

Hello there! Was the battery?

[@efrainbriones]

same thing happened to my 2016 equinox. I changed the battery and the problem was solved.

[@mmichaelis6]

Same thing is happening to my 2017 Chevy Equinox!!! I really hope it’s just the battery. I’ve only had the damn thing 2 weeks!

[@verse4069]

Did your car start running a little hard? What did you do to fix it

[@kcnicole5871]

My 2017 is going to reduced power, telling me to “Service StabiliTrak”… what solved it for your 2017? Thanks!

[@tykalb5155]

I gotta 2016 I got same issue

[@pro0055]

Once I got this error message several times a day on my 2012 Chevy equinox but it turned out to just be a loose battery terminal no problem since then

[@marzancastro]

Really common when you have a bad battery

[@Funfun_d]

Same happened to my 2010 last night got error on dash was hard as hell to make turns ...don't know where the hell to put power steering fluid ???

[@chowboy44]

Sounds like you blew the main fuse

[@JM811Cars]

Seems like a battery issue

[@burt3828]

[@ChaneyVoyles]

But where is the power steering thingy to put the liquid in it😩😩

[@ashleyduarte1139]

Did you ever find out what was wrong with it ?

[@digitalshower]

It was the OnStar module

[@dimsum4010]

What do you mean by the OnStar module?

[@juggernaut8647]

Ok but what does a dud battery have to do with “service power steering/stabilitytrax”?

[@brendandoan_]

My 2011 Equinox had a dead battery and those same error messages came up because those systems aren't getting enough voltage so they flash the error messages. Replaced the battery and they never came back.

[@wellthissucks112]

@@brendandoan_ ah this makes sense. Thank you. I too was wondering why "service stabilitrak" and "service power steering" comes up if its a battery issue

[@AnthonyP2A]

This was POINTLESS

[@carolkoch360]

My 2018 Equinox is giving lots of messages Stablizer, Parking Brake Engaged, Parking Brake Relaesed. Email from Onstar says I have a problem with battery or starter. I went to Auto Zone. They checked both with their machine. It said both are fine. someone said Onstar module was the problem. Im so confused.

[@locker125]

About how many mile was on your car? Mine is doing the exact same thing and I just hit 60000 miles. Was there any way to get it started and drive to a repair place or did you have to have it towed?

[@locker125]

UPDATE: Managed to start my car took it in for service problem was a leaking battery terminal. Replaced battery, starts like a champ now. Service guy told me leaking batteries can cause the electronics to go haywire and other weird stuff. I noticed the corrosion the night before when I checked the battery with a multi meter and got 12.9 volts which indicates strong battery.

[@rachelelizabethschneider2974]

@@locker125 How much did it cost to replace the battery?

[@locker125]

@@rachelelizabethschneider2974 This happened two years ago in 2019 at the Chevy dealership a new battery cost $137.15 one-year warranty. I live in Florida car batteries don't last long here. Then just this September 2021 the battery died again. Managed to get the car started and went to Auto Zone. Got a 3 year Die Hard Platinum battery for $214.00 tax included and installed. I am keeping a note to replace the battery 2 years from now. Last month the Equinox began stalling and would not stay running. Towed to the dealership the problem was the "Intake Cam Shaft Solenoid Valve" To my surprise this was covered under the Power Trane warranty at 94426 miles. I'm fortunate that all three of these happened at home so I was never stuck somewhere.

[@rachelelizabethschneider2974]

@@locker125 Hey there, thanks for your reply! Turns out that the battery was also the problem for me! I took it to the mechanic and got it replaced for about $90!

[@stellar_vibes_streetwear]

Same thing here at 60,000 miles. It’s almost like they are made to break.

[@wydstepbro3566]

Piece of garbage LOL. 4 year old vehicle and it’s telling you to service powersteering with 20k miles? Get rid of that thing and get a Toyota 😤

[@patrickwaters4619]

Had the same problem with my 02 jeep grand cherokee... It wouldn't start, so used different car... Afterwards, I jumped it and it fired right up

[@poohbearmartin8633]

What exactly did you do to fix it

[@digitalshower]

poohbear martin The OnStar Module was shot.

[@poohbearmartin8633]

How did you replace it my car is doing this after driving through puddles of water this morning

[@digitalshower]

poohbear martin sorry for the late reply. It was replaced under warranty. I no longer own the vehicle.
