what would cause the gen l term status bit to turn off at uncommon times under wot.. its never exactly the same rpm been chasing my tail on elec problems... and some logs show ignition voltage go to 9.9 volt under wot at times.. it never shows the true voltage when I check with volt meter 12.2 is highest ive seen usually in 11s but battery shows in 13s running

You need schematics and to start doing volt drop test with system loads. Ignition switches were bad to burn out on the older ones along with battery cables themselves. I can tell you that if the ecm drops to or sees below 10 to 10.5volts it will usually shut down on most of the older OS's... Surprised it hasn't for you yet. Verify with a volt meter that your only getting those voltages right at the ecm then back track from there using a decent schematic for your vehicle.

Brush skip? If it goes out at high RPM only, this is likely it.
Alternator is cheap enough to try for elimination purposes...

Usually an L terminal fault code indicates a generator failure or related problem. You're generator should be internally regulated (no PCM field control). The L terminal is an indicator to the PCM that the generator is not producing output. It is also the initial voltage potential to "start" the generator.
Usually, but he also shouldn't be having the different voltage readings at different locations which is why I highly recommend checking volt drops. Not uncommon to have a bad ground or loose connection after a drivetrain swap due to being bolted down over paint or poor tension on a terminal. A loose connection on the S circuit to the alternator can cause the same code... If you can back probe the signal circuit to the alternator and have battery voltage there then you should be OK to replace the alternator and fix the majority of your problem.Originally Posted by CRTD
