What does it mean when the battery indicator light appears on the dashboard?

The battery light coming on mainly indicates a fault in the battery or generator system, meaning the vehicle's power supply voltage is unstable. If the voltage becomes unstable due to wiring issues or generator failure, the engine computer will illuminate the warning light. The warning light may come on due to the following main factors: 1. Battery failure itself, such as depleted charge or battery failure. 2. Loose or oxidized battery terminals, where poor contact can also cause the battery light to come on. 3. A loose generator belt or tensioner pulley can cause the power supply system to stop working, triggering the battery light. 4. Faults in the generator voltage regulator or excitation circuit malfunctions can lead to the battery light illuminating.
