I am getting a ”Charging System Fault” warning with no symptoms at all: no charging or starting issues. It will randomly illuminate and then after awhile resolve and goes out - at night, in the daytime, with everything on or off, rain or shine. I have a new battery (it was time anyway) and the system was reset to accept the new battery. Battery is up to specs and the alternator is putting out on specs. Had it to the shop twice where it of course behaved!!! I am suspecting the battery sensor cable (Two light gauge wires in a little sheath and to connector ends - $90 bucks!

Hi , also new here. Have the same issue with my 2012 after replacing battery. Did you solve it meanwhile?

Alas, not yet. It has been back to my favorite shop twice now and they can figure it out: battery in good shape; alternator up to specs. They are also watching for service updates or other blogs in the Roververs. It is maddening. It comes on sporadically without any loss of drivability. I almost wish it would just break so I can fix it! I have not changed the sensor wire the lies across the battery either. If I figure it out i’ll post it ASAP.

Hi, yes annoying! Story here was that the rotating transmission button didn't rotate back to "P" automatic anymore. As this happened after a maintenance service we tought the mechanic crushed it. So we didn't replace it as another mechanic told us it was expensive. Anyway 1 year later the main battery died ( at least that is what we thought) so i replaced it with a new "VARTA brand" one. A week later all those alarms came on ( transmission , camera , keyfob , ) . Went to the dealer where we bought the car and he did a diagnostic. Battery was alright , but the he checked the small auxiliary battery under the glove compartment. Seems a cable was loose! So what happened was that during a change of the interior filter the guy probably hooked off the cable. Anyway we thought this might have caused the battery run flat and caused the errors. We replaced the small battery yesterday , and guess what ... the transmission button turns to "P" again automatic!
However the alarms are still there (

Wow, that is wild! I am about ready to call for an exorcism at this point. I’ll keep posting any progress. At least it keeps running; just unnerving with that big red triangle popping up🥺

I had the same issue and had to replace the secondary battery then have the codes cleared.
