BTW, 1000 milliamps =1 Ampere, 1mA = 0.001A

im taking this as on the 200ma setting the numbers i got are not high enough! So i dont need a new BCM or a CPS? The alternator has been tested at advanced and passed all test. Ive been through 1 battery with this problem and the battery i have now is only about 2 months old bought new. I was hoping the CPS or BCM was my culprit for a quick fix but thats not looking to be the case. Im stumped guyz and have looked through every post about buick in general.
