The battery light is staying on in my dash. The car runs fine. The battery gauge reads fine. Had the system checked and it's charging correctly. I also didn't get any DTC's when i checked with the SCT tuner. Any ideas why the light is on?

ok..i removed battery cable while car was on and it turned off. so that means that the alt is bad... well at least thats what i was told..i will remove and take it to get checked tomorrow.
