1998 Honda Accord V-6 with 138,000 miles.
Problem: battery charge light, ALL doors ajar lights and both brake warning lights on dash are permanently on. This started not long after the lady had her battery replaced. The alternator is on the very low side of the Normal range - about 13 volts. Since this is low enough to light the BAT light is it most likely that it is too low therefore causing these other warning sensors to go into a "fail safe" mode ?
Even when we put a load on the alternator, AC, lights, radio, brake lights and interior lights, the alternator output doesn't dip. Maintains the 13 volts. Would you drive this car until payday Friday ?

Any codes being stored in the PCM? PCM controls the field circuit in the alternator.
Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
