Could be corroded wiring or a computer issue. Check voltage output from the alternator and compare it to the actual voltage at the battery. The voltage should not exceed 14.8 volts running. If it reads higher than that then you have a charge control problem in the ECM. A re-flash might fix it but only a dealer can say for sure.
