Couple things to add after the drive home from work. Got I the car started it, touched the brake pedal and the BAS/ASR light came on, and saw that the brake lights weren't working. I noticed the voltage after start up (via scangauge II) was about 12.4 with AC on Max and headlights on. Right as I got home I noticed the brake lights were working (high mount reflection in window tint) and the voltage was now 13.2. I got home turned off the car, turned it on and Bam NO MORE BAS/ASR light and brake lights work! I'm sure the moment I hit the brakes tomorrow the lights with come back and brake lights won't work. Is my alternator not doing it's job? The battery is not even 5 months old from date of manufacture. Could less than 13 volts cause the BAS/ASR to assert?
