Faulty voltage regulator Check voltage regulator and, if necessary, replace it.
Faulty Generator Check generator and, if necessary, replace it.
Defective wire connecting the generator voltage regulator Disconnect the blue wire to the electrical connector block 12 T32A junction box. If after that the control lamp is lit, the D + wire is shorted to ground and the need to replace the wire.
Faulty junction box Disconnect the blue wire from the electric socket T32A. If, after this warning lamp lights up, it means that faulty junction box.
