The Chevy Aveo that shows a code 16 fault means that the ECM (engine control module) is checking the voltage in the system internally. If the voltage is too high or too low, the car's electrical devices might not function correctly. Signs of this issue include the charging system warning light turning on, a low reading on the voltage gauge, and the engine running poorly or stalling due to low voltage. Possible reasons for this problem could be a faulty alternator or a dysfunctional charging system. It is advisable to have a diagnostic test conducted to examine the charging system's functionality, and if necessary, replace the alternator based on the test results.
