Lately my brake light and battery light have been coming on after driving the car for about 5-10 minutes. Below is a dsmlink capture where the lights are off before the white vertical line and the lights are on after it. Does anyone know what may be causing the lights? I also notice a decrease in performance when they come on.

Thanks in advance.
 
A guess would be bad (or going bad) alternator with a low charge battery would make any current draw from any accessory in your car act like that. Shot in the dark though, most definitely an electrical issue... someone correct me if i'm wrong.

I think you hit it bang on the head... That's disappointing considering I have a 4,000 mile old high output alternator. Oh well, at least it's not the ECU. Thanks for the input.
