Xe fault code
My car put a ecu light on the other day and flashed it ou this morning to find a code 49 , battery high voltage , have noticed that it does it on overrun more then normal driving , stays on for a couple of seconds then goes off
Had a multi meter across battery before and I'm getting upto 14.5 volts when I let of throttle lol
any sugestions ?
-
Is the alt overcharging, iirc they can do that when theyre on the way out?
-
is the alt earted properly ????
-
if its not earthed properly, surely it won't make much voltage at all??
-
Regulator on the alt has died, or is dieing, replace the alternator.
If it was earthed wrong, it wouldnt be working better than normal!
-
put a longer belt on it lol
-
14.4v is typical iirc. 12v from a charging alt is under performing.
Sounds like the issue though.

-
Sounds like a dodgey alt.. Or fit an underdrive pulley toabye slow the over charging down?
-
lol yeah earths are fine , im thinking that my alt on its way out , or could it be my battery itself ?
dont really want to fry my batt by overcharging it on the way to and from pod lol
