Typically the condition appears when the ambient temperature is low and the vehicle is first started. Once the engine is warmed up the condition may lessen or go away but reoccurs when the engine is cold. Vehicle operation is not affected. Cause: A potential cause for the above problem is an excessive electrical resistance in the battery voltage sensing circuit. Correction: If the above condition is verified the manufacture recommends re-routing the battery sense line from the engine compartment power distribution box to the B+ terminal on the alternator. Follow the manufacturer’s recommended procedures for updating the vehicle’s wiring harness.
