If you are investigating headlights that dim at idle, save every stored and pending code before clearing anything. Compare charging voltage using the vehicle’s specified test method. Record the engine temperature and load alongside the reading; the same value can mean different things in different conditions.
A basic reader may not access every module. Inspect battery terminals and belt condition with the engine off; do not touch high-current wiring. Use the exact vehicle’s service information to interpret the result.
Quick educational note
For information, not a diagnosis or repair instruction. Vehicle-specific checks are still required. Consult the manufacturer's guidance and a qualified technician.
