Don’t forget to check connections at starter as well; a little bit tougher to get to & ensure you have a good ground. Extra ground leads don’t hurt & for the record...12.60 is a fully charged battery...14.5volts while running would be about the max voltage you’d want it set to. AGM batteries prefer closer to 14.0
Ck idle rpm; as TB’s or Maf’s may need cleaning & don’t forget about a quality serpentine belt...good insurance to replace every 50-60k |
I had Nissan "check the wires and connection". The serpentine belt looks good was thinking of replacing it soon. I haven't driven the car for 2 weeks and now the car is runnimg closer to 15v, with a drop to 13 at stops.

Try this... Take your voltage meter, set it to A/C and measure it across the battery while its idling. It should not give you a reading (take it through all of the scale settings). If you get a reading, then its a faulty alternator

i have the same problem at the moment as well. If I start the car, it idles at 14V. I can leave the car idling for 15 20 minutes and the voltage wont change. However if or when i start driving the voltage will fall to 12.6V as well and i could drive over a bump or something and the voltage will move around.
Possibility: Im investigating the thought that it could be a slipping Serpentine belt due to a loose tensioner. il come back to you on this. |
