Chevrolet Silverado: Warning Lights, Gauges, and Indicators / Charging System Light

the engine is not running, as a check to show the light is working. It should go

also displays a message.
If a short distance must be driven with the light on, be sure to turn off all
accessories, such as the radio and air conditioner.
