Unhappy 2016 malibu LS

Hi All,I have a 2016 malibu LS, has the 2.5L engine, having trouble with the auto stop/start system, Im looking for wiring diagrams for the starter relay, the pinion starter relay, body control module and ignition switch, been surfing for 2 days for a service manual, bought 2 so far, 1 does not cover the 2.5 in the 2016 malibu, only covers the 1.5,1.8 & 2.0. the other has the 2016 with the 2.5 but does not cover the auto stop/start system. any ideas where to get the repair manual or diagrams I need ?

Got a 2015 Chevrolet Malibu. That 2.5 liter motor is one of the best motors Chevy produced. There must be some way to shut the auto start stop, but with practice you can reduce it, by feathering the brake pedal (works 90 percent of the time or putting the transmission into N or M.Don't forget it's a DGI motor, so use something to clean the intake vales.

thats not the problem Im having, the system is not functioning correctly so it has knocked out the starting system,I cannot even start it with key, have to jump the starter relay to turn engine over. there is a cool way to bypass the auto stop/start system you can buy a auto stop eliminator, it plugs in the harness under the hood. heres the link
Amazon.com : auto stop eliminator chevy Amazon.com : auto stop eliminator chevy
their roughly $25 bucks & free ship with prime, they make these for almost all makes & model vehicles
