X50 / 13.9 Volts

[Orbital75]

I was just playing around with the display settings on my X50 and noticed while driving I was getting 13.9 volts. This is with my head lights on and AC. What is the normal voltage for an X50. What is considered low?

I have it hardwired into the FuseBox and just want to make sure It's in good standing with the electrical system. Last thing I need is a voltage sag or surge to harm the X50.

13.9 is not bad at all low ....in the 12's is low....

I believe if it drops below like 11 or 11.5 it gives a "LOW VOLT" code

yeah your fine, it will warn you if you have low volt

mine runs at those levels as well

Ive gotten the Low Volt code a few times, but I also believe that if it goes above like 14.5V itll give a high volt warning too.....never seen it though

I think its actually 16.5 Volts.

13.5-15 or so is normal with engine running.

12-12.5 or so is normal with engine not running.

Thanks everyone, that helps out a great deal. All my cars are hardwired and after I started playing around with the display it made me wonder about the voltages... Thanks again.
