Since I bought my '13 two years ago, periodically I get a "turn on engine, battery low" message and icon on my nav screen. Maybe 1 out of 10 or 15 starts. It flashes on for a fraction of a second before the Nav boots up. So fast that I'm not exactly sure what it actually does say. Zero other symptoms of low battery, no faults, in fact the battery is only about 1 year old. I've just written it off as a bug, but wondering if anyone else gets this?

Do you have an IID tool? I'd be curious what your computer is currently using as a charge profile. (I ended up doing a little research into this as I think I had a bad alternator, but am not exactly sure because the computer does... things)

I do have one, I can't find this charge profile anywhere. What menus do you use to get there?
thanks!

Oh geez, you might have just surpassed my energy spent vs. concern threshold, LOL
I will poke around the live values screen again and see if I can find this data.

I do appreciate your interest in this!
