Welcome to DF.
How old and what shape is the battery in? Have you tested it?

yes, voltage regulator is in the pcm.
start by testing the battery using multimeter with engine not running. normal is about 12 volts.
with engine running and alternator turning, probe the large wire, verify about 14 volts.
next probe the battery again, hoping for the same 14 volts.
what are your readings?
