Scraape=this is exactly what was happening in my 1999 . Headlight Levelling Notification popped up, Battery Charge Light Came on, and eventually both just went away.

I attributed the funky stuff going on to possibly power steering fluid(ATF) leaking on the alternator. But it could also be an intermittent alternator on its way out or improperly installed ?

I switched out my alternator for an 01 LS430 unit for peace of mind. Never swapped the battery

You need to fix those 2 before you might be forced to stop at somewhere.

Thats exactly how my dead alternator played out.

Has anyone else experienced this?

im getting those same errors from my 99’ do you know how to fix it?
