Check charging system light

Alternator was checked also got one more code of p0562. Connections and wires were good but "check charging system" message comes on still. Any ideas for anything else to check?

Check the wire that run from the alternator to the battery

The same thing happened to me! My mechanic just told me the problem was my AC Compressor.. We put in a new battery then a week later my steering wheel locked up and a rude light "check charging sysyem" lit up. My car was still running but I noticed a few days prior that my car would shut off when I turned my heat on using "Auto" so after playing with it I noticed it was only when the AC button was on and that comes on with "Auto". My husband did see that my serpentine belt was broke so we figured that was the cause of the problem so my jaw hit the ground when my $120 repair turned into a $945 repair!

My son's car is doing the same thing. Did you find out what was wrong and how you fixed it exact same thing you just said is is doing the same thing

Did you get a fix?

I have the same problem and my mechanic ran codes for the alternator. The codes are saying that the computer is telling the alternator to over work the battery. So I'll have to replace the Electric Control Unit ECU, and that should stop the issue from continuing.

2005 Ford 500, same mo, 3 wire connector from alternator to plug connector (C139 in Haynes manual) male power out side 2 yellow wires(yellow, yellow green stripe, 1 white w/ black stripe. Yellows were dry rot broken completely. They go to the PCM ....I spliced ( no way get solder gun in that area, I did work under the car) Batt light went off, 13-14v to battery and other stuff started working better too. No lag, lights bright... I’m damn happy. Getting to the Alternator wires 6” in is pure hell for this senior.... jeeeesh.

I changed my alternator it runs good for about a min. Min and a half then throws check charging system kills my dash cluster cooling fan any help please n thank you might have to run a new wire from alt. To battery idk

If it's a reman alternator, that's the issue. Has to be a new one. Even an off the shelf from local parts store. There is something weird with a remanufactored alternator that the computer doesn't like. I had that issue. Happened 2 tines, over 14 hears and 350k miles....NEW solved immediately!

True. But, the issue with having diagnosed is a diagnosis comes out wrong. It says bad alt or bad PCM which is completely inaccurate. You can put 3 alternators in there and if they remans, it still gonna come back as a code even though it isn't. So I have found that by getting a straight new alt you don't have this issue and the computer can actually read it as good and you're good to go.

I have the same thing going on to still trying new things. Get back with yall when i find out
