Yup.. You made a boo boo..

Anything you thought or learned in the past, confirm before doing on these modern vehicles..
Just went to do some more work on the D4 wiring.
Shifted vehicle,shut it down.Get "Low Voltage,Start Engine" message.
Both batteries read 12.87V,with engine running 14.4V.
I had the CTek on all nite as the batteries copped a hammering from the engel for 3 days in the city(no low voltage warning,fridge ran constantly) It had charged to "float" level.
Only thing I can think is I had the earth of the CTek on the spare terminal of the crank battery,perhaps it should have been on the body or the voltage monitor circuit.
How do I reset,as batteries/charge seem good.

So is there a re-set or will it fix itself with a drive????

You will need an IID tool or something similar.
2012 Fuji White 3.0 D4, Rear view camera, Hi-line sound, E-diff, Xenon lights, ARB winch bar, Lightforce 240 50w HID. Brads sliders.
So can anyone tell me what voltage level (or other event) triggers this warning? When I got them the Traxide still had the second battery connected so it can't be too low.
I got the warning a few times when we were away last week and its a bit unnerving in the middle of nowhere, even when you know its not a problem.
Cheers,
Jon
Sorry - what is this reset for - not familiar with a D4.
Certainly I have no issues charging the battery with a smart charger direct to the battery terminals as long as you do not turn the ignition on but better practice is to earth at the earth stud.

I read on a UK site that leaving the smart key inside the vehicle overnite will also trigger the fault,key was inside the car all nite.

Andy, give Tim a quick call.
I had a chat about the latest D4s yesterday with him.
Too much to type - worth the call.
