    Thanks. You’ve given me a great starting point. My Impala is cranking over by itself after I had the trans swapped with a used trans.

    the trans module sounds bad or the connector is not plugged in right

    2016 Chevy Malibu La 1.5 code that’s coming up is p0700 Tcm! Car starts revving high rpm’s but barely shifting, so we pull over for about 20 minutes to let the car cool off and then start it back up! Car runs fine for about 15 minutes then starts back to the high rpm’s and slow shifting!! I’m reading on a lot of forums for Chevy Malibus that this problem is common! Our car only has 56,000 miles on it! Thanks!!

    yes it is a common problem many different things that cause it from bad connections to bad modules you really need a oscilloscope to tell if its communicating

    What were the issues by chance? I have 2013, had all sorts of issues, stabilatrak, brake assist, traction conteol, door locks pop, gauges in and out, then staryed losing transmission function, like a sno mobile starting, then afyer parking, no start. Had at mechanics several times, no real find, reset codes get back ran fine then again happened. Rhis last time they pulled every harness apart and checked, disconnected battery, checked all harnesses etc. Knock on wood, but nonissue in 2 weeks. Impala 3.6. Any issue you ever dealt with? So curious and puzzled.

    My 2010 Impala with 62k miles has the Exact same Issues.. Finally took it to the dealership and the said it needed a new Starter for the No Crank No Start issue and replaced the Very Loose Neg Battery COnnector for all the Warnings, Chimes, Locks and Gauges going nuts. 2 Days Later, No Crank No Start.. Thet have had it for 10 days and Cant recreate the No Crank No Start but The Dash Crazienest came back twice. But each time they started the Diagnose it went back to no issues.. Is yours still working?

    @@danthefisherman4793 hi Dan, all I can say is I'm not a mechanic, but its definitely an electrical issue, dont take to the dealer, they will rape your bank account. If you don't have an reliable local mechanic, find one, or an auto electric expert. On my 2013 under the hood, the main electrical box in front seemed to be the root of the issue, but so much is coming g and going, the time, the modules, and wiring seems to have a bug in that general area. There was lime 6 codes that came up. My mechanic literally disconnected every connection, battery terminals etc that they could, they had for several days, I luckily had extra vehicle, they used electrical grease/ lube and went through every reachable connector. Again, knock on wood, but no issue but 1 time, I had traction control light pop on as I backed in a drive and engine light appeared, I immediately turned off traction control and it went away, that was 2 1/2 months ago
