Hopefully up near 14v, at least 13.5.

The O2 sensor and the charging system light, the one with the battery next to it. Tried resetting the O2 sensor but no luck there. Do you think it could be a grounding problem? The van seems to be running just fine but I don't like the thought of driving it with those lights on. Any insights or tests to run would be greatly appreciated. I do have a multi meter but I'm not to good at electrical diagnostics
