need help with 06 taurus

We have an 06 taurus with 47,XXX miles on it. And about a week ago the check charging system popped up on the display. I went to advance and had it checked. Battery is new/good, alt is good. Everything checked out ok. But its still coming on. What could be the problem? Could the belt have lost tension and causing that warning?

Do you hear any noise coming from the belt tensioner? Thats about the only way its gonna loose tension is if the bearings are gone or the internal spring is broke in it. Could be a bad ground on the alt. or your battery!
