The "Battery No Charge" message sporadically shows on the information panel, and then goes away, what items should I check?

Hello,

This could be due to a loose connection or carrion to the battery terminal or the alternator cable. It can also be due to a bad wiring (possibly a bad ground) for the battery warning light.

First check all the cables that connect from the battery to the alternator. Look for any loose connection or corrosion. It could be a good idea to clean the contacts.

I have included the wiring schematics for our reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
