CHARGE SYSTEM FAULT

The IPC illuminates the CHARGE SYSTEM FAULT indicator in the message center when the following occurs:
^ The PCM detects that there is a problem with the electrical charging system. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PCM.
^ If the tachometer is less than 500 RPM and the power mode state is in the crank mode then this message will not be displayed. Instead the CHECK GAGES indicator will illuminate.
