Also--who knows how accurate the volt-sensing chip in the CCU is? Couple that with differences between that sensor (it's a CCU, after all, not a DVM) and the OP's voltmeter and you could easily have a couple tenths of a volt difference. Finally, the OP may be measuring system voltage at the special terminal under the hood (he doesn't say) while the battery is under the rear seat.
