Summary
This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician for a service engine soon light on. There may be a diagnostic trouble code P058B and or a P058D set current or history. Technician will need to check the orientation of the grounding ring for circuit 150 bolted to the battery sensor module. The ground terminal should not lay across or contact the shunt of the sensor, if it is loosen the 10 millimeter bolt and reposition the terminal away from the sensor and tighten the bolt to 44 inch pounds

Service Procedure
Inspect the following if DTC P305F has been set:
4005667
- Check state of health of auxiliary battery with the GR8 tester. Not just a state of charge check.
- If low, replace the battery, clear codes and re-check.
- If good, proceed to step 2.
- Check ground resistance from the Dual Battery Isolation Module (DBIM) to G103. Wiggle the harness (1) and negative battery terminal connections during test to look for varied resistance values.
- If resistance is greater than 0.5 ohms, or changes more than 1 ohm, then inspect ground connections and/or splice in the harness about 1.5 ft. from the connector end.
⇒ Fix poor connections, clear codes and re-check.
- If resistance is less than 0.5 ohms, proceed to step 3.
Note: The DBIM is located on the fuse block assembly. If found the cause of the concern, the Battery Distribution Fuse Block must be replaced.
- Replace the battery distribution fuse block and wiring harness connector, clear codes and re-check.
Inspect the following if DTC P058B and/or P058D is set current or in history:
5148609
- Inspect the orientation of the grounding ring for circuit 150 (1) to the B110 Battery Sensor Module (2).
4245353
- If found contacting the sensor, reposition the terminal away from the sensor as shown above, and tighten the bolt to 5 Y (44 lb in).
- Check ground resistance of Dual Battery Isolation Module (DBIM) to G103. Wiggle the harness and negative battery terminal connections during the test to look for varied resistance values.
- If resistance is greater than 0.5 ohms or changes more than 1 ohm:
- Inspect ground connections and/or splice in the harness about 1.5 ft. from the connector end.
- Fix poor connection and replace the module.
- Clear codes and re-check.
- If resistance is less than 0.5 ohms, proceed to step 3.
- Replace the battery distribution fuse block and wiring harness connector, clear codes and re-check.

What is the other cable for? Obviously, the one that you marked and were talking about is the ground, but the one in the bottom of the picture.
one goes to ground, one goes to Body control module.
I have a 2015 Chev Malibu the check engine came on code was P058D
I paid 250 for a new battery b/c they said the battery was bad the first time I took it to GMC, well the engine still came on and off they checked it again when light was off and said nothing but if light comes back on bring it in. Well light came back on I took it in and was told it was battery sensor that is why I needed a battery, they replaced the sensor today few hrs later, same day (today) my engine light is now back on. What Now?
Have to check for codes, if it’s the same one, have them deal with it.
I am going through the same issue with my dealer for last 3 months. I was told the same thing it’s the battery. Then I was charged for they claim they had to reset the car computer. I have another appt next for the same problem for the 5th time. I’m at the point if the dealership can’t fix it they need to pick up the bill and will take it somewhere else to be repaired.
ON MY 2014 MALIBU WE HAD THIS CODE SO WE CHECKED THE BATTERY CABLES ALL IS FINE. NOW WE HAVE TO JUMP START IT EVERYTIME WE NEED TO DRIVE IT. WE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS STILL COMES ON. WHAT CAN BE THE ISSUE
You may have a bad Battery sensor, I would have it checked out by a professional…
