WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Vibe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The charge indicator is a LED located in the I/P cluster. It receives battery voltage when the ignition is in the RUN position. The circuit is grounded through the L terminal of the generator.

The generator will ground the L terminal when the regulator detects one of the following conditions:
