Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Impala owners report experiencing issues with the battery and traction control lights blinking even after replacing the battery and alternator. These problems may indicate a malfunction within the traction control system itself or a damaged traction control module, which can trigger the service traction control message. Additionally, owners have noted that corrosion on electrical connections or battery terminals can lead to erratic behavior in the electrical system. A slipping serpentine belt may also affect the charging system, causing the battery light to illuminate. Furthermore, the service battery charging system warning could suggest ongoing issues with the alternator, battery, wiring, or electronic control unit (ECU). This warning demands immediate attention to prevent further complications. It is recommended that owners seek a professional mechanic's assistance to diagnose and resolve these issues effectively, ensuring the safety and reliability of their Chevrolet Impala.
