Error message Battery/Alternator visit workshop!
Hello all, I have received the following error code and not sure what to do. Here is some context.
I drove my car to the shops and when I came back I started the car and it sort of struggled to start, (I definitely put less force into turning the car key if this matters at all). Then the error message was displayed on my dashboard. I turned the car off and back on and it started normally no fault appeared although it did say 1 fault. I do already have a fault with one of my bulbs so not sure which fault it was referring too. Left the shops to head to work. Arrived at work and turned the car off and back on and all was working.
My question is what could of happened and what should be my next steps into making sure all is okay with my car.
Appreciate any help!

Follow the diagnostic suggestion---vist workshop and have them load test the system----is it the battery , is it the voltage regulator or is it the alternator or forget the diagnostics, listen to your girlfriend and replace all those items or check your washer fluid it many be low.
