Intermittant Check Charging System Light

5988 Views 3 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  Cycleart
I have an 08 MDX and the check charging system light will randomly flash on then back off while presenting no other symptoms. I have an almost new battery that checks fine and the alternator was rebuilt almost a year ago. I have also replaced the hands free unit. Sometimes it will go a week or two without doing it then sometimes will do it three times in a two hour period. I have a long road trip coming up and would hate for something to happen during the trip. I have seen many threads where many lights come on and people have needed batteries and/or alternators but this is just the random flash of the check charging system. Any idea?

I have the exact same problem. So far, hasn't happened on short drives <30mins. Drives longer than that and it will flicker on almost every time I come to a complete stop.

I also recently replaced the alternator. Was going to take it back out and exchange it, but hasn't acted up since.
