Could be low current or not the voltage the DME is requesting.

So What is the Voltage the computer wants to see. Removed the alternator to test, but if
tests ok could the battery be marginal and cause the less than desirable current or is this a fault/short somewhere else. |

Hello HawnMini - try posting your question to the tech article comments section, like you did with the first one. Nick should respond to it that way.
