    My Tacoma gives me a "Check charging system" warning every time I either have the electronics on without the engine or if I try to shift into gear to quickly when starting. Does anyone else have this same warning pop up? is it just because of the specific situations under which it happens or is there actually a problem? its been making me think my Batt is going to die any second but it doesn't.

    Any replies are appreciated, this thing has been stressing me out for weeks.

    It’s normal. It just means you are using power and the battery isn’t being charged (the engine isn’t running)

    No need to be an asshole. Owners manual probably just says if the light is on somethings wrong go to the dealership. its not a SERVICE manual.
