What should the Voltage be a Terminal L while running ?

If the terminal you are referring to is B+, when the car is running it should be a couple volts higher than the battery voltage.

Thank sfor the reply ,but I am referring to the L terminal,not Bt . the L terminal is associated with the charge light .

Based on the Haynes wiring diagrams, it looks like the charge light comes on when the L terminal is less than 12V.

Why are you concerned about terminal L?
