Default charging system failure????

I started my car up last night and for a split second the DIC flashed "charging system failure". Then it went away, the alternator was putting out around 14 volts so I think that is ok.

Any ideas on this?

side note: I had the Predator tune in the car and then went back to stock, this happened on the stock tune.

If you stuck the key in and immediatly turned it to the starter the computers may not have been fully initialized and misread something. Keep an eye on it, but I would not worry too much about it.

Mine did the same the other day for a brief second and it's fine ever since. The weather was odd that day. The temperature dropped pretty quickly but don't know if that had anyhting to do with it.

Ok, thanks guys, I feel better now as I was worried for a minute there that the Predator fouled something up.
