Re: Intermittent Charging System Failure message with B1087 code

I’ve been meaning to get to replacing the radiator sensor, but my wife has been living with the intermittent charging system error, so the new sensor is still sitting on my workbench . Today it also threw a P2568, which indicates the Environmental Air Catalyst sensor on the radiator.
I guess I’ll ...

Re: Intermittent Charging System Failure message with B1087 code

Thanks for the replies. I had another user on a different forum suggest the radiator tamper sensor also. Since it's a cheap part, I'll replace that first and see what happens. I was told I might also need to have the software updated.

Re: Intermittent Charging System Failure message with B1087 code

Picking back up on a year old thread - I've since replaced the battery during the COVID shutdown, and today I plugged my OBDLink into it and took it for an oil change. On the way back I stopped at Autozone for an air filter. On the 3 mile drive home it lit up with Charging System Failure. The logs ...

Re: Intermittent Charging System Failure message with B1087 code

Have you checked the voltage while the alert is active? I'm wondering why it's showing the alert yet the voltage seems to indicate that it is indeed charging.

Intermittent Charging System Failure message with B1087 code

My wife's 2010 non-turbo has been intermittently showing warning lights and charging system failure messages. Yesterday it happened as I was returning home. I measured the voltage on the battery with the car running and the messages showing. Voltage was 13.8 . Every time this happens, I turn the car ...
