Service 4wd, ESC light, traction control light on, Service charging system (vehicle may stall)

[Abemvrales]

I have a 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 and just yesterday afternoon after trying to turn my truck on, it wouldn’t crank. My Service 4wd light was on, ESC light was on, traction control light was on and my service charging system (vehicle may stall) light was on. I’ve been looking online to see what could be the problem and it shows me a handful of things. Is anyone else having this same problem. If so please help

its the battery. this happened to me also. I removed the battery and fully charged it and all was well for 2 days. I bought a new battery and no problems since.

Step one is check battery voltage with a voltmeter

 

With battery dead enough that it won't crank lots of lights /messages are to be expected.

Let us know how you make out. Some owners have had grounding strap corrosion issues that cause multiple alarms and errors.

Ever get it figured out?

[Limpit84]

Yes, it’s currently in the garage right now and it turns out it is a ground strap and once they installed the new ground strap there is a transfer case solenoid that went
