Figured out what it was testing wires from the alternator. The white wire from the alternator broke inside the harness. After replacing that everything worked great. Thanks for the help guys!

I took these readings cold. I already swapped it with a new battery and same thing. After I swapped it, charge light stays on, the system sees a steady 13.5ish hot and then eventually goes haywire spiking up to 17 on the ecu side. When I'm done at work I want to probe some of the fuses as well...

So I did a few checks today. Voltage drop across body to batt, alt to batt, and engine to batt all have very low voltage drop numbers (less than .04) I did notice the voltage at the battery at idle is 14.5ish and the ecu reads around a volt less.

Heres another image after going for a longer drive. I'm thinking it may be a dead cell in the battery? It's only a year or so old but it's not the best.

Hey guys! I've learked around the forums for quite a while and never really had any issues with my 4runner... until today. The voltage at my ecu and at the battery will jump erratically from 12ish volts all the way up to 17 then randomly settle itself around 13.7. I've replaced the alternator...

come on how can you compare a subie to a 4runner. Most of the subies are a smaller class than the 4runner and are all wheel drive. I personally would rather take the 4runners 4WD system any day over a suburu all wheel drive.

that sounds like a lot of fun dude, if you do plan an even I'd be sure to go.

oh yeah just got a nice rock thrown off the back of a truck at my 4runner, it left a nice chip, right after i got my head unit installed :(

Oh crap i forgot to add that they installed an aftermarket security system, I installed the radio but the car wouldn't stay on due to the security system. Is there any way to bypass this?

Hello everyone, I just bought an 05 4Runner a few weeks ago and I just bought a dash kit and wiring harness. I have a question that goes along with the install. I have an aftermarket remote starter that was installed at the dealership i bought the car from. Will I have any problems installing...
