My 2016 Malibu LT check engine light, Stability track and change battery in the car remote lights are coming on. What does this mean?

FR-v car, no year told. 2004 to 2009 sold
CEL = check engine light (OR SES) means needs service, in shop.
per your lost users guide
VSA is veh.stability assistant (no this is not it) <<< it is a distraction or battery is weak
are you asking for wild guessing or how to test using tools.
1 or the other????
will not crank at all, (starter dead)?
or cranks fast but will not start.?
???? which is it, 2 huge differences in diagnose x10
you stated symptoms and no real question asked./?????

we can not see or hear the starter on your car fail or not.
and matters huge.
if the starter was dead. the battery lugs are rusty and loose
we clean them and tightening them.
any battery that old is no good. or 2004+6= 2010 died, and replaced
then failed again in 2016, and replaced, and 2022 is bad again.
see my math? 6year life on battery 10 is max my 50 year seen experience.
working, Im retired for 13 years now. older than dirt.

no year car told
no year battery was last changed out and sure was!
if the battery is weak it will not crank or does and all computers on board go mad.
they lie to you. lacking proper battery voltage.
if the starter dies
clean lugs first
if no cure, jumper cable jumps start it ( or call AA autoclub tow ask for JUMP)
and dash charge lamp must go out runnning

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to Chevy Malibu.

There is a good video on removing and replacing the check engine light bulb on a Mustang.

possible battery issue with one of your batteries https://www.autocodes.com/p305f.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZp3krsJG7s https://ww7.oemdtc.com/1515/diagnostic-tip-for-dtc-p305f-2014-2016-chevrolet-malibu

The flashing light DLC can mean a severe misfire making it run bad and possibly destroy the catalytic converter . Can you have the codes scanned and post them here ?

The light means that your battery is not being charged properly. It could be that when the transmission was replaced, they alternator belt was not put in properly or tight enough. I'd do the following:
1. Check battery connections to make sure they are clean and tight.
2. Check the drive belt to the alternator. It should be tight and not slipping.
3. If neither of the above is the problem, fully charge the battery with a battery charger so you can drive it for a while. Don't drive it without charging or you may get stranded. Don't let the battery run all the way down either or it may ruin it.
3. Check alternator output by driving to a nearby auto store or the place you had it repaired. They usually can check your charging system for free. The alternator could have decided to malfunction, although it's pretty new.
Good luck...

It means you have a problem with the electronic throttle control an with Stability control which is part of the electronic brake control module ,which means there are DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes stored in the ( EBCM ) & in the PCM -powertrain control module . You should take to a ASE certified repair facility or the dealer !

try changing the battery on your remote

Acording the online manual , that is the Hybrid system warning light. I havn't tracked down exactly what it means , but is is grouped in with other service reminders. Will add more info when i find it " Google 2005 prius warning light " one of the first listings has a link to toyotapartsandservice.com
