In the 2013 Chevy Malibu hybrid, the control module that manages the hybrid powertrain is located at the rear of the transmission, concealed by a plastic cover. This module acts as the brain behind the hybrid system, overseeing functions such as the electronic motors and battery charging. If you encounter issues with the hybrid components of your car, chances are that the problem lies with this powertrain control module. Typically, you can utilize an OBD II scan tool to check the ECU for any identified faults within the hybrid system, which will be displayed as error codes. While owning a hybrid vehicle can be beneficial for the environment and your wallet in terms of fuel savings, the blend of electronic motors and the traditional engine can complicate repairs.
