Generator Field/F Terminal Circuit Low

29 brands affected · Generic SAE J2012 description.

Key terms: Control module: a small computer that runs one part of the car · SAE J2012: the standard generic code list · Powertrain: engine, transmission and emissions

Safety: This code relates to the charging system. The battery may go flat and the car may stall.

1What it means in plain English

The generator (alternator) field terminal circuit has a fault, so charging may be reduced or stopped.

2Common causes

  1. Faulty alternator
  2. Damaged wiring or connector
  3. Blown fuse
  4. Poor ground connection
  5. Engine control module fault

3Can I drive?

Caution · drive with care

If the battery light is on or the car is hard to start, drive straight to a workshop. The battery will eventually go flat and leave the car stranded.

This page gives general information. It is not professional advice. For a definite diagnosis and a repair quote, ask a qualified mechanic to inspect the car.
