Best Answer

Over or under charging.

Another answer:

Typically that means that the computer has detected a problem with the alternator. In more sophisticated systems, it can mean that the computer has detected a faulty diode and even thought the alternator is still barely functioning, you'll probably want to take care of it soon.
