Doesn't matter, get it check and your battery. I had one that was 3 days old and it was bad.

alternator is bad or the battery is bad. this light comes on when the car sees 12v or less instead of the 14.4v your alternator is supposed to put out. having a shot battery that drains too much electricity instead of providing it may also cause this. have both tested
