Intermittent ON/OFF of Battery/Charging System Warning LightThere could be several causes, and without doing a hands on troubleshooting of your vehicle no one here can tell you specifically what is causing it, or where the problem may be.

However, that disclaimer dispensed with, the most likely cause is that the engine idle speed [Rpm] is too low.

The "Idiot light" [warning light] is designed to come on when the output of the alternator is BELOW that which is needed to properly charge the battery.

IF low Rpm is the cause, the "fix" is simply to properly adjust the idle Rpm.

What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in 1995 Honda odyssey?

this meant on our 1997 Honda accord that the oxygen sensor needed to be changed out. This will cost about 75-95 dollars and don't skimp on this get a good one but it can be changed out by you if you know anything about cars. I watched our mechanic do it and helped him a bit and I was thinking I could have saved this money. Hope that takes care of your problem! Check engine light also comes on when you have a blown fuse or when you take the battery cables off of the battery and put them back on such as when you are changing the battery or resetting the computer. Hope that helps!
