    Default 99 to 2001 PCM upgrade Battery light?

    I fllashed my 1999 5.3 truck PCM to a 2001 operating system and upgraded to COS3, everything went great, except I have the battery indicator flashing on and off in my message center. Does anybody know how to disable that light?

    Thanks, please let me know. I have been looking at wiring diagrams to see if they did something different with the alt wiring.

    I'll check it out today. I didn't think to scan it because a the MIL was off.

    yea it doesnt show a MIL but i believe on that parameter you need to set it from a C to an X on reporting
