Charging System Indicator

The IPC illuminates the charge indicator in the message center when the following occurs:
^ The PCM detects that the generator output is less than 11 volts or greater than 16 volts. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PCM requesting illumination.
^ The IPC determines that the system voltage is less than 11 volts or greater than 16 volts.
The IPC receives a class 2 message from the Body Control Module (BCM) indicating the system voltage.
^ The IPC performs the displays test at the start of each ignition cycle. The indicator illuminates for approximately 3 seconds.
^ The ignition is on, with the engine off.
