| When idling, voltage reads normal.
When I start to accelerate, it spikes to 18!
Engine and battery light comes on.
It stays spiked until I come to a stop and returns to normal.
Thanks for any input.
Planning on taking to shop tomorrow since they are closed today:-(
Just hoping to get an idea of what to expect or if there is something I can do on my own. |

Central Maryland | Sounds like your regulator-rectifier has gone tit's up. Or it has a bad ground. Here's some troubleshooting you can do:

| Thank you sir. Kind of what I figured.
I think I will leave the testing and replacing to the experts. |

Rancho Cucamonga, CA | Same on my 2010. Rectifier gave out at 48k miles. would go up in the 20s on the freeway, back to 13 at idle. Had limp home as slow as I could in the highest gear I could. Extended warranty covered it. |

Carrollton, TX | Had the same problem. Just some corrosion at the battery terminals. The battery Tender leads had been installed between the cable and battery lug. The tender lead terminals are a smaller O.D. than the cables allowing a gap for some corrosion to start.

| hope your not riding it. If regulator is bad and you ride it you'll take out stator which means more money out of your pocket. |

| Mine did the same thing. It's the regulator. You can you tube on how to check the regulator and stator. You just need a multi meter.
