The code p305f on the Chevy Malibu indicates an issue with the dual battery control module performance. This specific vehicle is equipped with two batteries - a primary and a secondary one. The control module's function is to alternate between the two batteries as required, ensuring one charges while the other supports heavy loads. If the system malfunctions, you may observe rapid drainage of the main battery and insufficient power, especially evident during engine startup when it may be difficult to start the car, or in severe cases, the car might not start at all. To resolve this issue, it is recommended to bring the vehicle to a professional service center for repairs.

    Perhaps consider replacing the Dual Battery Control Module.

    I swapped out my backup battery, but it didn't solve the problem. It might actually be the primary battery that needs to be replaced.

    Inspect the fuse located under the hood. I encountered a similar problem and resolved it by replacing fuse 18, the mini fuse for the R/C Dual Battery Isolator Module. You may also want to examine fuse 71, the mini fuse for PEPS BATT. A blown fuse was the cause of my issue. Hopefully, this information proves useful to you.
