wiring issue... when your checking the voltage at the battery gently wiggle the wire harness under the front passenger side bumper cover... I use the word gentle (strongly) They have issues with the wires corrording in that area... make sure you don't have any wires grounding out... Please respond bac k with your results as it helps others with similar problems

Well people it was the green wire that comes from the voltage regulator/ alternator back to the computer .couldnt find the fault in the wire so i just replaced it.Works like a charm.
