Re: alternator + check engine?

I have been having an intermittent simultaneous illumination of the Brake and Battery dash lights when the car is idling. From searching the web, it appears that this is a good indication my alternator is dying. In a new development, I acquired a Check Engine light Sat. night. Three questions:

1. Will a dying alternator set an engine code?

Nope. Check engine light is emissions system problem. However, the Brake/Batt light prob is definitely your alternator. It's not charging your batt. with the proper voltage. For ECU diagnosis, http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4291851895
