What were the voltages? These cars when the voltage is low it triggers a bunch of lights. Grab a volt meter and put it on the 20 volts and measure the voltage, with the car off, then measure with the car running, and then measure at 4k rpm's.

What are the voltages numbers? Im only guessing is that the alternator is going bad

Do this test, and see what numbers you get.

it sounds like you will need a scanner and see if there are any codes. See if autozone can scan it for you aswell

This error does not throw an OBDII code that can be read with a typical scanner. You need Techstream or a higher level scanner.
