Charge System Fault
Ok guys, here is the latest issue I have on my 01 coupe.
Perhaps the freezing temps that we have currentlt where I live are part of the problem (average 34° F).
The last time I took the car, drove it for a few miles and stopped the engine I had this message on the DIC when turning the ignition ON (together with a rather weak gauge lighting). The engine cranked OK and the charge appeared good (13 V).
I don't know what the problem can be as my battery is one year old.
Thank's for your feedback on this issue guys.

I have been getting this for 5 years on my Z. The message shows up for a short period right after start up and then goes away. I may see it once every 30 or 40 starts. Nothing wrong with the car.
