Was there a follow up on this video? It's been a year now, did the codes return? Which side of the trans was this ground strap at? Did you remove a cover or was it already visable? Sorry for all the questions but it will help us out.
A bad ground wire can certainly wreak havoc on those modules. Great info Mike, hopefully it was just a loose bolt!

Yeah but I bet it won't be that easy!
I think you did the right procedure. Then if the codes come back, try plan B with the shorter bolt. Never worked on a volt. Those were some strange code numbers.
It's never an easy fix like that for me. It always ends up being the most expensive thing that could possibly go wrong.

If I was going to use my 2013 Chevy Volt as a race only...car can I remove the cats form it or at least the rear one?
Nice video and thanks. Going to give it a go on my Volt too. Heard this issue from multiple Volt owners so looking to see if it would fix it. Keep up the good Bro and Cheers😎👍

Hi Mike. Eventually you will be the go to guy on these volts. Nice to see that your still in the video business. Was thinking of your channel the other day. Mike don’t break that bolt off. Thanks for sharing and stay well and safe. Artie 😊🇺🇸 Mike what scanner are you using? Looks like the think pad diag like Ivan uses?

The reason I used the 1/4" drive, less chance of snapping off. I am using the thinkdiag app and dongle. I did a video on it awhile ago. Stay safe Artie!
Hopefully, tightening the bolt will take care of the problem Mike!

Thanks Terry. Well if not I guess it is back to more diagnostics!
What size socket is used for the bolt?
I have P1E00 and P0AFA codes for my 2012 Chevy volt. What should I do? Currently it says not able to charge on main screen and power off on the secondary screen. Is there a way to clear the codes?
It was a bit loose but I'm thinking not loose enough to matter so onto removal of the bolt and a good cleanup next 🤷♂️

hi mike voltage drop check that bolt was loose... what a cluster of codes
Seems like ground wires can give you all kind of headaches. Hope that is all it is even if you have to take it off and clean it.
Hello Mike, Have you experienced any swerving issues? I have a chevy 2014 volt and lately when I let off the peddle, the car would swerve right and sometimes left. I thought it was the alignment and had the dealer center everything and still does the same. Hoping it is some type of sensor.

Hello I have a 2013 Chevrolet Volt and change transmission, now i cant programming it error, please can you ask me i need change transmission module or what i need doing?
Why go under the car when access to the plume is better from the top. Simply remove the engine cover and the bolt is at your fingertips.

I know some newer vehicles all you have to do is unhook the negative cable at the battery and you have to reprogram the modules so until I would do it I just ain't sure!

@TheDisgruntledMechanic

Google is your friend here---- Control modules constantly monitor the vehicle for any condition which may adversely affect vehicle performance. If a condition is detected, the module sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and sends a serial data message to the Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM sets a DTC to inform that the module has set a DTC. The serial data message sent by the module also contains a request for the ECM to illuminate the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL). The DTC will be set when the ECM receives a serial data message from the Hybrid Powertrain Control Module indicating that DTC has been set in the module.

Thank you Mike , I tried erasing the code with a Innova carscan reader...but it did not...hope is not HVB. Is there any hope to get my car running again?
Went to Chevy dealer here in Richmond VA and they charged me $420 to update software to fix codes, Codes came back and now they said they need to drop the battery for $1400 to see why codes came back... back against the wall... current codes are P1E00 P1EC4 P1EC6 UO140 all thoughts and idea's are welcomed! Thank you!
