As others have mentioned, the red lightning bolt indicates a problem with the charging system. Could be a bad alternator, bad belt or tensioner pulley, or a bad battery (shorted cells from freezing).
Get (buy or borrow) a better diagnostic code reader and leave it plugged in while you are driving around. The better ones will display and record all the operating parameters, even ones that do not throw a code. It might help pinpoint the problem.
