Service charging system light

Get the alternator tested.

Check belt tention if tention is good, take it to ur local auto parts store to have the charging ststem cheked, might be the alternator

I have replaced both the battery and alternator recently. I am getting the service battery charging system code as well as battery saving active. This is a 2009. Did you have any further trouble with that? The alternator is less than a month old.

Amanda, depending on quality of the alternator and new vs used, they will fail. I had a client replaced their's 3 times within 3 months, alternator kept coming apart due to poor quality til he bought a new one from autozone. Take in to ur local autoparts and they can check it on or off the vehicle

Super helpful. I was in DC on a road trip and had a this happen. The car died on 1/22 and Pepboys gave me a "new" alternator and a new battery despite the fact that I had a new battery in November. I had NO idea but when I showed my husband the receipt when I got home, the receipt said reconditioned alternator which infuriated me since that was not disclosed before it was done. That's about 4 weeks ago. Fingers crossed Pepboys will stand by their work. Also, any thoughts that all the chargers for iPads and phones might tax the system? I was a 24 hour road trip with multiple devices charging. THANK YOU for your input. This car has been a nightmare but I refuse to sell it for something new get have to have a payment!!!

I'm sure pepboys will and about the chargers, no they consume such a small amount of current that won't affect anything. Good luck!

I have 2010 Traverse and i have been having starting issue. it does not start unless i jump it. it is not typical battery, it has many fuses , could it be one the fuse need to be replaced?

we had a bad OnStar module. Dealer wanted 200 to fix it. We pulled the OnStar fuse. Problem solved.

Did you ever see what's problem

We are having the same problem with my sisters chevy impala 2006, done all necessary swith outs and replacements and still keep getting the same code. Could this be a defect of this type of car or does anyone have another solution??

I have a 2013 Chevy Traverse and I have replaced the Battery and the Alternator. I am still getting this error and SUV will go into Power Service mode , after driving it a while it will bump to 14 and over and it will go off. I do not like living in the south and the power saving mode cuts the AC off. I keep seeing comments on this does anyone have any idea what is causing this. Have it tested and everything is showing a t full capacity. I am super annoyed with it.

Anyone found an answer? I am having the same problem.
