I don't have a schematic for this Subaru but I know the charge-warning isn't hooked like some other cars and trucks. Also seems it does not monitor system voltage at all. All my GM trucks use voltmeters that sample voltage between vehicle-ground and the main battery lead at the starter-solenoid post. With them . . . a no charge condition caused by a non-grounded alternator would of shown as low voltage on the voltmeter.
This Subaru had battery voltage so low - the car finally died because the electronic fuel injection started failing. It probably hasn't been charging for a week unknown to us. I suspect other cars with ECMs monitor system voltage a bit better. With the new stuff, it's so easy and cheap to add multiple monitors that feed the ECM, I find it amazing that this could happen.
And as stated earlier, I've been driving Subarus in salt for 30 years and all get driven until the wheels literally break off the car from rust. This has never happened with any of the older ones - so it seems obvious to me that something has changed in design and/or quality.
