This has happened twice on starting. I get a very quick "Charge Fault blah blah" message, but it goes away quickly before I can read the rest of the message. Checked DIC code history, nothing.
Car runs perfect.
Is this anything? Just a start up, draw down sensitivity issue?
I will run a check on all ground connections.

I get a "charging system fault" code every once in a while on start up too. Doesn't seem to cause any problems any doesn't store and codes in the DIC. I see it maybe once every month or so. Slightly more often in the winter I think.
I get this too. I notice it happens after I had used the battery for a while after shutting the car off the previous time. For example, I kill the engine but listen to the radio for another 5 minutes before getting out. The next time I start the car I may get the Charge Fault warning. Mine's been doing that for years with no problems.
