Low charging voltage displayed on cluster


- 2023 - 2022 - 2021 - 2020 - 2019 - 2018 -

Case Number: S2008000031 Rev. B
Release Date:
August 2023
Symptom/Vehicle Issue: Low Charging Voltage Displayed On Cluster
Customer Complaint/Technician Observation: The owner complains of low charging
voltage displayed on the cluster display. The technician has observed the same.
Discussion: Newer vehicles charging systems now incorporate a SMART CHARGE function that
closely monitors the charging system’s output to improve battery life and fuel efficiency through the
vehicles’ various drive cycle modes. The new strategy can give a false perception that the charging
system is not charging properly and lead to improper component replacement for a low or drained
battery complaint.
Do not replace the main or aux battery, IBS sensor, alternator, or other components unless fault code
diagnostics lead to the replacement of the suspect component. See the pg 2 charge mode
strategies when considering replacing any of the listed components for improper charging
complaints.
12.4v
Example: 3.0L diesel (JL & JT) will be display the most aggressive at idle.
