Battery Warning Light (If Equipped)
This light will come on
briefly when you start the
vehicle, as a check to show
you it is working; then it
should go out.
If it stays on, or comes on while you are driving, you may
have a problem with the electrical charging system. It could
indicate that you have a generator problem or another
electrical system problem. Have it checked right away.
Driving while this light is on could drain your battery.
If you must drive a short distance with the light on, be
certain to turn off all your accessories, such as the radio
and comfort control system.
Some instrument panel clusters with a voltmeter gage do
not have a battery warning light. They have a CHECK
GAGES warning to indicate a problem.
On vehicles with a DIC, a CHECK CHARGE SYSTEM
message will be displayed and a warning chime will
sound. See “DIC Warnings and Messages” in the
Index for more information.
Voltmeter (If Equipped)
You have a voltmeter
unless you have the
supercharged engine.
When the ignition is running, the gage shows the
condition of the charging system. Readings between the
red warning zones indicate the normal operating range.
Readings in the red warning zones indicate a possible
problem in the electrical system.
On vehicles with the systems monitor, the CHECK
GAGES light will also come on, and a warning chime
will sound if there is a problem in the electrical system.
Have your vehicle serviced immediately.
