Battery Light Came On

Schaber403

Passed Driver's Ed
Was driving to work this morning and driving on a slight downhill loop to into a merge lane when all of a sudden the MFI flashed "Engine Fault: Workshop" and the red battery light came on. Car went into limp mode but the engine fault warning went away. So I pulled off to the side of the road. Figured i'd turn the engine off to see if it would take it out of limp mode and if the battery light would turn off.

Engine turned on and battery light went away. Then continued driving for another 10 minutes and no issues.

Has anyone had this fault and might know what it could be?

Heard a dying battery can cause lots of weird issues with these cars. I would try the battery/charging system first. If there was a CEL it would be stored in the ecu so maybe you can try scanning it and see if it left a soft code.

This post is pretty old doubt a solution would be posted by OP.
