    I see this flash a couple times starting this weekend. It flashes, and goes away. What is it?

    Thanks.

    might be a faulty 12v, but it's not indicative of anything in particular, just that you need to have the codes read.

    it can also be used roadside, when you're fixing a flat.

    This is for 2010 Gen 3. What does that symbol officially stand for?

    If your car is still on the original 12v auxiliary battery, it's probably time for a new one. A low 12v can cause various types of warning lights and symptoms, or none at all before dying for good.

    If you are using that 14 volt battery... latest thing from Sonic Electronics. Full 14 Volt AGM Battery. Adjustable posts too, :LOL:
