    The alternator's output is regulated at about 14.5 volts. What you're seeing seems normal.

    This isnt normal i had it running for 20min and it reached 16v. i changed alts changed pcms and still climbs. i blew a cell in a battery already and had it replaced. ive been told the bcm controls charging and there could also be a reset after changing batteries? Could something be wrong with the bcm?

    I think the PCM monitors the battery voltage and if it goes to high then the SES should illuminate.

    i went through 3 rebuilt alt's in a row, in 3 days, 2 of them were over charging, way over 14 v. they all tested good at the store, but were bad. they shouldn't put out more than 14.3 i believe.

    so get another alt, the last one you bought may be under warranty still, 90 days i think. they will just keep giving you a new one no questions asked. at least i had no problems, and went to 2 different stores. duracrap too from autozone. you do need the receipt.
