Now that you've unlocked the cluster...you can also check the alternator using TEST 9 (just like you checked the battery)...except have the engine running. In fact, you can drive around with TEST 9 pulled up...take note of the charging systems voltage as you drive around...especially if the battery light illuminates or starts flickering while you're driving.
Since you have a 12 volt battery...the charging system (alternator) should be supplying more than 12 volts to keep the battery replenished and in a charged state (look for 12/5v-13.8...on average & possibly up to 14 volts occasionally while driving around)
The battery light...one of the most misunderstood warnings. The battery 90% of the time gets accused as being the culprit...when it's usually the VICTIM.
