The OBD-II trouble codes P0620, P0621, and P0622 all relate to issues with the generator or alternator in the vehicle.

P0620 - Generator Control Circuit Malfunction: This code indicates that there is an issue with the control circuit for the generator or alternator. The generator control circuit is responsible for regulating the output of the generator or alternator, which in turn charges the battery and powers the electrical systems of the vehicle. A malfunction in this circuit can cause a variety of issues, such as reduced battery charging, dimming lights, or a dead battery.

P0621 - Generator Lamp “L” Control Circuit Malfunction: This code indicates that there is an issue with the control circuit for the generator warning lamp. The generator warning lamp is typically located on the dashboard and is used to alert the driver to issues with the charging system. A malfunction in this circuit can cause the warning lamp to either stay on or fail to come on when there is an issue with the generator or alternator.

P0622 - Generator Field “F” Control Circuit Malfunction: This code indicates that there is an issue with the control circuit for the generator field. The generator field is responsible for generating the magnetic field that allows the generator or alternator to produce electrical power. A malfunction in this circuit can cause a variety of issues, such as reduced battery charging, dimming lights, or a dead battery.

In order to diagnose and repair the issue, a qualified technician will need to use specialized diagnostic equipment to communicate with the generator or alternator and identify the root cause of the control circuit malfunction. The technician may need to test the wiring and connectors associated with the generator control circuits, the generator warning lamp, or the generator field.

Once the root cause of the issue is identified, the technician may need to repair or replace the generator or alternator, repair or replace the wiring and connectors associated with the generator control circuits, the generator warning lamp, or the generator field.

It is important to address these issues promptly, as a malfunctioning generator or alternator can cause a variety of electrical issues and may even cause the vehicle to stall or fail to start.
