Hi guys

I've noticed that my battery warning light comes on after starting my Camry 2003 in the morning. It flickers for the first 2-3 mins and goes off when the car is nicely warmed up. I suspect it's a belt problem causing the alternator not to work correctly. Does it makes sense or if it is something else (that went wrong)?

It could be your alternater is on the verge of failing and may need to be refurbish or replaced.

Had my alternator replaced @ 90km. Same symptoms as yours.

I was a noob back then when I had the work done and apparently it was only going to accept that particular Bosch alternator as another one they tried to fit failed to do so. It cost me $550 + labour.

Ouch Andrew :(

I had this problem in my last Camry (1995 Csi) and it was actually the switch inside the alternator causing the problem, not the whole alternator itself. But as the above replies suggest you'd definitely look at the alternator as being the culprit!

Could it not be the voltage regulator?

Yep, got it fixed today. The mechanic replaced the voltage regulator and machined the ring. Damage to wallet- parts cost $260 + labour.
