Fault Code Help

Hi,

I've had some recent issues with my split charge system so decided to buy a new solenoid. Fitted it at the weekend and seemed to be going well until last night when I saw steam coming from the engine compartment.

Looks like the auxiliary battery has over charged and basically cooked. I've now disconnected the whole thing and removed the Aux battery as the battery light is now illuminated and I'm getting the fault code P0625 - Generator Field Terminal - circuit low?

Any ideas, I'd rather get some advice before I stick the battery on the charger. Engine running it was reading about 14.6V and switched off about 12.9V if this helps?

Sounds messy, what split charge system do you have?

Clearly you have a alternator issue and the monitor system could be goosed or shorted. Check fuses (F20E 5 amp) and the condition of the cables and connectors on the alternator before condemning it.

Cheers Robbie

It's a Tmax but the solenoid was a replacement off fleabay as the original gave up the ghost. I'll need to get someone to look at it.

This one.

Well, still not entirley sure what happened to the Aux battery. Checked fuses as suggested but all fine.

Alternator replaced today and all seems fine now. Hesitant to refit Aux battery again don't want to have to but another alternator.
