battery light on and off - Toyota Yaris Forums

Miryai · 03-30-2014, 02:28 AM

Since, I hate when no one updates their problem. Voltmeter came in today. My car idles at the high 13's to low 14's. That doesn't seem to be too bad, but when the battery light comes on, it skyrockets to at least 17. I think the highest I saw was 18.3, but according to my mechanics the alternator is fine (I doubt it.). Taking it to the mechanic on Monday and telling them, and seeing if they fix it....if not, I guess I declare my car a lemon since I've replaced this damn thing four separate times already.
