Default charge failed message?

I got an error today that said something about a charge failure, or something like that. I turned off my AC and it went away. Then I turned my AC back on and it never came back. Anyone know what the heck it was.

Hopefully it was just a little glitch. Check your codes and see what you have.

Sounds like the occasional "charge system fault" that my car seems to get from time to time. My wifes Yukon does it too. Neither vehicle throws a code though.

I get this once in a blue moon on very hot days when the car has just been started and the AC is pumping. From what I understand, the alternator just can't keep up and throws this message. Usually after just resetting it goes away and does not come back. I don't even shut the AC off.
