Default OBDI Code 41 --- Temporary fixes?

Hey Guys,

Just replaced Alternator two months ago...Threw Code 41 on start-up this morning. Are there any temporary fixes for this? I searched already but a blank screen only comes up on the mobile app. :P

A Jeep friend of mine said if it's flashing 41, the alternator could be going South for the winta. I just replaced alt a few months ago, btw.

A code 41 is a failing alternator 99.128573765% of the time.

My bet is that your new(er) alternator is failing prematurely. That is not at all unusual, especially for alternators.

Got a warranty on it?

New means nothing. Even new puppies die, right?
