Default Charging problem

1993 Accord, battery light on, had alternator tested OK. Per shop manual, tested for voltage at round connector OK. Looking into a possible problem with the integrated control unit (under dash). Does anyone have any information on this piece ?

Thanks in advance!

PS I love this old bomber, 210,000 miles, original engine & trans, hate to have it sidelined !

first off you need to LOAD TEST your battery.

Electrical Load Detector would trip a check engine light if that was the problem.

Thanks for the answers, problem was the "new" rebuilt alternator. No good right out of the box.

Battery load tested OK. Keeping fingers crossed on this one, getting tired of pulling it out.
