That code means at some point the battery went down below 9 volts. If your car just sat for a while that may be why. Just reset the computer.

I meant reset it by disconnecting the battery. But if you've been running your car then the battery should be charged up. Usually that code comes up after a car sits for a long time and has to be jumped off to start. Could be a bad battery, wrong fuse, alternator, bad terminal connection.. stuff like that.

Is this your car that was recently beat up by the tornader? Could be water got in somewhere and has corroded connections in the fuse box or PCM.
