I have replaced my intermittant failing alternator with a new NAPA unit. I had problems where it would not charge for a while after I started the car. I could verify this with a voltmeter. Whenever the "check charging system" message apeared I was running off the battery 12.4- + volts. I now have a new alternator and while it is charging (14.5 volts verified with a multimeter) I am still getting the error message and lit battery icon on the dash. Any thoughts?? Fuses related to the charging system look good. To reiterate the alternator is charging properly, but I am still getting the error message likt it is not. Tried disconnecting battery too...
