Condition
The dashboard lights and controls may briefly flicker under hard acceleration after downshifting or when the
engine is revved while the vehicle is stationary.
The issue does not occur during normal driving, and all instrumentation continues to operate correctly.
Technical Background
During periods of low electrical load (and especially when the battery is fully charged), the energy spike generated
by the alternator due to the rapid increase in engine speed cannot be completely absorbed by the vehicle electrical
system. This leads to a voltage increase that can cause some modules to initiate overvoltage protection. The
condition is very brief and is considered normal.
Production Solution
Not applicable.
Service
Explain the Technical Background to the customer. Do not perform any repairs. Any repairs for this condition may
be denied.
