    i will tell you this about the alt. if the battery has a weak cell that the alt wires are hook too. the alt will time out and apu shuts down. it will throw a red alt sign on the main control knob. the alt has to sense a certain voltage to put out. you can switch wire to a different battery.

    If you have tri pak evolution you can plug into it and use software. USB cord bundled up by circuit controller under bed
    If older style pre evolution no you can not read codes. Will have to go to dealer
