You can take your vehicle to most of your local auto parts stores. The will scan your vehicle and be able to pull a diagnostic trouble code(s) (DTC) for you and they do it for free in most places. The DTC will lead you into the direction of what the problem may be. I wouldn't suggest purchasing parts from them because they will try to tell you what the problem is and what part is bad but the DTC needs to be fully diagnosed in order to figure the problem out before you buy parts. This is where they make thier money. I have been in this business for 25 plus years and you need to fully diagnose before you start purchasing parts because some DTC's can be tricky. Once you get that DTC(s) you can ask on here to help diagnose or feel free to email me directly at [email protected] with the DTC's and I will be happy to help you diagnose the problem. DTC's come with testing procedures which I will be happy to help you with if you are mechanically inclinde. When you said the light "lightly blinked", if you are talking more of a flashing on and off while driving, this in most cases indicate a misfire which could be a bad coil, injector or a number of things. Most misfire codes are in the three hundreds. You will get a DTC of something like P0300, P0301, P0302 and so forth if this is the case. Start with getting the DTC(s) and we can t6ake it from there.

what you could start with is checking to see what trouble codes are being logged for this vehicle...if the engine light stays on, it means the ecu is registering a fault......by the means of a trouble code...now the trouble code doesnt tell you how to fix it, but it does give you the direction to go down...judst wondering if you have tried to obtain the trouble codes

the first thing that i have heard causes this is bad gas. you can get stuff at the parts store to get the water out of your gas. May need to siphon it out and then fill with new gas. The next thing that I would check would be that the wiring in the steering column is not shorting out somewhere or maybe going bad (such as corrosion.)

Gas gauge malfunction and engine light stays on

This is a common problem with Malibu's. It is due to cheap metal in the fuel gage that corrodes. Chevrolet knows about this but they refuse to issue a fix. The check engine light staying on and the faulty fuel gage are related. This is a defect and they need to recall this part! Raise hell with the dealership!

Chevy Malibu Check Battery Light

the problem with my malibu was the plug going to the alternator. i went to the junk yard and cut a plug end off the wiring harness and replaced it on mine and it's been working fine. i don't know why it drains the battery with the broken wire in the plug, but it did. i found the problem by wiggleing the wire while my wife watched the dash for the battery light to go out. ken!
