Alternator died, BUT a few weird codes as well...?

**makaveli42** · July 14th, 2013, 23:22

So I was on a back country road and kinda acted like a rally car by mistake (ramped the road and got a lil airborne) The car bottomed out, which is no biggie, have done it before my mistake. All the sudden about 2 miles later the battery light came on. made it home and then the yellow LED battery symbol flashed (alternator) came on and so did the red brake light, yellow engine light, and a strange LED symbol with a few squiggle lines to the left of it came on.

Had the battery tested and it took a full charge and kept it so its fine. Ran codes and got TONS of "low voltage" codes which means it the alternator....BUT some codes that were there a week ago when i ran codes are now present. With the battery charged and in the car starts fine but has the red battery symbol on and the yellow engine light.

Here are the codes...I bolded the odd ones.

The Camshaft one, Fuel Pressure Regulator one, and MIL request one i have NO CLUE what they mean and scare me

Never mind

**4everRS** · July 14th, 2013, 23:56

Your codes pop up when you let voltage drop. Clear them and see if they come back.

Lol. What's that code mean? Cars clean and never been wrecked. I run codes about once a month and just did it not to long ago and only one I got was the rear back up sensor one

And prolly a foot off the ground no lie. My buddy wanted me to do it again and film it but I said hell no. Has cruise control set at 45mph too. Just an odd lil creek bridge in the county!

**905084** · July 15th, 2013, 01:00

I've never heard of a "crash code"....wife was wondering why you had to ask what that code means....LOL

HAHA. I assume it means I crashed?? But I didn't which was why I asked what it meant? Maybe it has a sensor like some Benz do when all 4 wheels are off the ground?

**lswing** · July 15th, 2013, 01:37

I like your style...now keep the rubber side down...

Maybe the "crash code" is all wheels off the ground....last registered wheel speed > 45....

huhh?

lol anyways... just clear codes and only ones still there are these:

makes me feel better that the camshaft one and other scary ones went away. I'll have her towed to the shop and new alternator in hopefully Saturday (under warranty THANKFULLY)

**905084** · July 15th, 2013, 02:53

I'm guessing it's not your alternator....but if you can get the insurance co to buy it, knock yourself out.

**na1mt** · July 15th, 2013, 03:30

18010 - Power Supply Terminal 30
P1602 - 002 - Voltage too Low - Intermittent
Readiness: 0000 0000

What does this mean? I am getting same code on mine with the battery light as well. I am on third alternator. Measured voltage output of new alternator at source is 14.4 and only 13.4 at the battery which I guess is going to burn up my regulator again since it will always be charging.

What else would throw low voltage codes and have the yellow led battery symbol which is the symbol for the alternator according to the manual???

**na1mt** · July 17th, 2013, 03:29

No one on the codes?

Lol. Guess not! Mine getting towed tomorrow to the shop so I will see what they say about them! You have me concerned since u r on ur 3rd alternator!! So you can't drive the car at all?? Or does it drive fine and just has an annoying red battery light and those codes??

**na1mt** · July 18th, 2013, 01:30

Alternator is still charging....and since I don't feel like getting a tow, it's just sitting at my shop. Haven't driven it in almost a month.

**na1mt** · July 20th, 2013, 13:16

Any update yet Makaveli?
