If you mean that the ingnition warning light glows dimly at times when you are drivibg, particularily when you have a heavy electrical load on - ie rear windoe, lights blower fan etc then a diode in the alternator has failed and in fact the car is running at about 11 volts. Generally the indicators will also flash slowly and the starter will not turn the engine at full speed.
If you are lucky you may have an alternator with a replaceable control unit and you may get away with changing that if you can get another. Otherwise a replacement alternator is required.
It is possible that the low voltage is interfering with the operation of the electronic management system and that replacement of the alternator will solve this problem as well. If not tell us and we will try and help you with that one.
