There is no ammeter on the dash. There is, however, a voltmeter.
One cell was probably dead before the jump start.
VOLTmeter in dash should read higher than 12, but they are not precision instruments. For a rough check, turn the ignition key to "on" without starting the engine, note the position of the voltmeter needle, then start the engine. After approximately 5 seconds, the voltmeter needle should jump to a higher reading. If it does not, your alternator is not charging.
You will want to check the flash codes to see if a charging system fault has been registered.
To check the computer codes:
With the engine off, switch the ignition key on-off-on-off-on, leaving it "ON". Do not go to "start", just "on" during this procedure.
Watch the "Check Engine" or "Power Loss" light. It will turn on, then go off, then will begin to flash-out any trouble codes that have been stored. For instance, if it flashes:
flash <pause> flash flash <long pause>
flash flash flash <pause> flash flash flash flash flash <long pause>
flash flash flash flash flash <pause> flash flash flash flash flash
Then you have a 12 (one flash followed by two) a 35 (three and five) and a
55 (five and five). 55 means "end of codes" or, if by itself, "No codes stored. Check the codes and report what you find.DS
