What voltage is at the battery? The symptoms you described indicate a dead cell in the battery or just a dead battery!

I haven’t seen this code for HHR’s, but the Cobalt site has.
It’s either a pressure solenoid for the torque converter, squirrel chewing the wires or a Ryobi rechargeable battery!

Rechargeable battery?
Good one.
Aren't most batteries rechargeable?
I for one am glad for that or they would have to continually replace the one in my head.
