Those "alternator tests" are utter crap. My guess is it's the alternator not charging enough.

It means your alternator is going out. Better replace it before it leaves you stranded like mine did. And yes, my alternator passed the POS Autozone test at 2 different locations. The last time I just said give me a new alternator and the light has never come back on.
