P1637? Generator L-Terminal Circuit. Has to do with the alternator.

Don't know what the "C" means on the end of the code, but I'd check the red exciter connection/wire at the alternator and make sure nothing has been tapped into it. When my alternator failed a few months ago it didn't throw a code - just wouldn't charge and slowly discharged the battery while driving. Might not be your issue, just my experience.
