If you know the previous owners information the battery you have still has the replacement warranty. Just get his information and take it in for a replacement or test at autozone. My battery died and had previous owners info went to Walmart provided such info and got a new battery .

well let me tell you these codes were driving me crazy decided to hook the tech stream back up and it wouldn't let me clear the codes. Now the car is running good battery was checked and determined good also. So I went to the good old google to find more answers to the codes I had previously posted. I came to the conclusion the car needed to be zero balanced went to YouTube and found a guy doing it on a Scion xB with a paper clip and what do you know it work cleared all the codes and when I was doing the paper clip method in the OBD2 port it was actually saying VSC testing in progress. Drove the car after for 15 min still no codes seems all good. Hope this helps anyone else out since I couldn't find any info on the forum about my issue👍.

What does zero balanced mean? Do you mean zeroing the yaw sensor? The FSM says to do this every time you get an alignment done, and it is easy to do with Techstream.

Sorry to hear mate. Hopefully it is an easy fix but regarding the exhaust, XForce. I have an XForce too and have a few warning issues VSC, Limp mode etc. Im sure an antifouler would fix it, they are cheap enough to pick up. Xforce actually sell one as well part # was BNG08. They fit in the original sensor spot so the sensor doesnt detect the higher flow from the aftermarket exhaust
related? My car won't even read out of the obd2 port? Says it can't connect.

I hooked my battery charger up and the battery read 50% got it up to 68 on the charger and started the car no lights or anything and they were on when I drove the car. The voltage read 14.1 on the charger when running does that mean the battery is shot or maybe alternator problem? Thanks for any help I think it might be time to toss this optima red top!

Voltage is the potential for the elctrons to do work so the higher the voltage the more work they can achieve.
If it's not the battery or the alternator start pulling fuses until the voltage drop stops and therein lies your problem.

Try leaving it disconnected for about an hour (and then two of no voltage drop) and see what the voltage is reading after that. You can have an internal short that slowly trickles electrons to ground. With a multimeter you can check to a more specified degree but you can still use the charger if it tells you current battery voltage. If you're losing voltage while the car is sitting there off I would say your battery is bad. If it's not then it's something with the alternator or the conductors.
