Battery light at idle
 

Good morning all!

2000 4Runner 3.4

Over the last few days my battery light has been coming on intermittently at idle. When I bump up the RPMs it goes off.
I replaced the Alt about a year ago with a generic auto store one. I checked the voltage at idle last weekend at it was 14.1.
Battery is about a year old also. Also checked to make sure all the connections were tight.

I guess I'll probably need to pull the alt and have it checked. It's probably still under warranty.

Anything else I should be looking at besides the battery or the alt?

Thanks in advance.

That issue sounds like its the battery and/or Alternator. Same thing happened to me some years back. When I would accelerate, the light would go off, at idle the light would come on, lights would be dim & my 4runner would almost stall.

If you go to autozone or Oriely's, there tester can check both the battery and alternator.

Sounds to me your belt might be loose or stretched a little .

Might want to try that first before pulling things apart
