(G)enerator? It should go on if the battery is discharging while you are driving, meaning the generator isn't working right.

Oh, and I think the G stayed there even thought the generator was replaced by an alternator, because that's the situation with mine.

generator,alternator it's all the same thing.well kinda.but it your case it means that the alternator is not supplying power to the car plus keeping the battery charged.therefore u best take a look at the alternator b4 the battery goes totally flat.

Hopefully the belt did not break and you kept driving!
