Thanks for the help mate, will get that checked out. Should I be concerned with the car completely dying on me with the battery saver mode coming on? Have read that people have lost all power when that has shown

just ran a voltmeter off the alternator, not the best way but just was trying to get a quick reading. Disconnected the battery and drained the power and reconnected it. The check engine light is now gone and showing no signs of a problem now
