Why does the battery light come on in a 1999 Oldsmobile intrigue?

Usually because the alternator has failed. Drive it that way long enough and you'll need a new battery, too. Something in your charging system has "gone south". Probably the alternator, but could be the battery itself. Have your system tested to find out what. If your car seems to start and run fine, even after several trips, it may possibly be an errant diagnostic code, but this is very unlikely. One simple test you could do if you have a volt meter is to measure the battery voltage with the car off and with it running. Low battery off (below 13V) with running voltage high (over 13.2V) probably points to the battery having a weak cell or two. The opposite condition (13.2V off, below that running) points to the alternator being the culprit. The alternator has the voltage regulator inside it, so it comes as a package.
