07 GP GXP: "charging system failure" message??

[Grand Moff Joseph]

Was pulling out of my driveway when this error flashed on my DIC screen. I have driven the car all day today without issue, so this caught me by complete surprise.

 

I parked it and checked the following:

 

-Alternator seems to be spinning and belts look ok visually.

-DIC shows 14.06 volts when running and 12.34 when car is in "ignition ON" mode

-Ran my code scanner, and no codes were found

 

 

Based on some Google-fu, this is starting to sound like a case of what has been called "belt slippage". I'm planning on swinging by the dealer tomorrow for a quick check, since it's under warranty. But, any advice/ideas?

Ive had that msg appear in both my 05 and 04 with nothing happening since. Drove my 05 5000-10000 miles more after with no probs, I think it just flukes sometimes, or like you said, belt slippage

Same thing happened to my sister's 06 GP back over the winter. Came on for 15 seconds max, then went off. Haven't seen it since. I think it is just a fluke.

Used to get this in my aurora when it was really cold out. Never did anything, just a random occurrence. Since it's under warranty feel free to have it checked out but it's probably nothing.
