Check charge system, battery saver

What do these mean when they appear on the DIC. This is really frustrating. I just replaced the alternator and bought a new battery and these still appear but there is no CEL!

Dude. You need a new car. That's why boys like them. They aren't psycho jealous beaches. They have moments but they do get over it. Sometimes you have to spend money to make them happy but they can get you to point B faster then *******.

Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) Operation

Charge Indicator Operation
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the charge indicator in the message center when the one or more of the following occurs:


The engine control module (ECM) detects that the generator output is less than 11 volts or greater than 16 volts . The IPC receives a serial data message from the ECM requesting illumination.
The IPC determines that the system voltage is less than 11 volts or greater than 16 volts for more than 30 seconds. The IPC receives a serial data message from the body control module (BCM) indicating there is a system voltage range concern.
The IPC performs the displays test at the start of each ignition cycle. The indicator illuminates for approximately 3 seconds.
The ignition is ON, with the engine OFF.
Charging System Failure
The BCM and the ECM will send a serial data message to the IPC for the CHARGING SYSTEM FAILURE message to be displayed. It is commanded ON when a charging system DTC is a current DTC. The message is turned OFF when the conditions for clearing the DTC have been met.

Battery Voltage
The IPC displays the system voltage as received from the BCM over the serial data circuit. If there is no communication with the BCM, then the display will read all dashes until communication is restored.

Battery Saver Active
The BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE message will display on the driver information center (DIC) when the vehicle enters a load shed 2 event. Refer to for load shed 2 setting criteria.

and load shed 2 refers to a low voltage battery
