Do you have a multi meter. Check to make sure that the alternator is putting out atleast 13.5 volts. The reason it goes out is because at idel the rpm falls and the alternator is not putting out enough voltage and the ecu kicks a code. It most likely the voltage regulator has taken a dump. A new alternator will fix this. Also make sure your belt is tight.
